racism will have more vocal yell against it and easier to be juried and easier to get the person kicked off. and yes, there are still racist comments left standing.

homophobia will be less than racism, but more so the person will be attack, by community stand, .... maybe... nah. but, i think administration takes it more seriously.

sexism/misogyny is so ingrained in both genders and literally the fun and play for men (unlike the other two ism) that i think there is almost a belief if really treated like the other two (and i think this is why homophobia is not gone after as much), then so many would be off the board. they are not about to do that. the misogyny has to be huge, and often and in your face.

so. i do not often do a comparison cause people that are seeing the racism rightfully get angry. i get that. i would too. and people that see more of the homophobia allowed to stand rightfully get angry, and i so so get that. but the reality is, .... women are in a different place than the other two. women participate in this also. it is much less defined. maybe what i am saying.
