The post that was quoted here has been removed"For the practice of wearing a kilt without undergarments, see True Scotsman. No true Scotsman is an informal fallacy, an ad hoc attempt to retain an unreasoned assertion.[1] When faced with a counterexample to a universal claim ("no Scotsman would do such a thing" ), rather than denying the counterexample or rejecting the original universal claim, this fallacy modifies the subject of the assertion to exclude the specific case or others like it by rhetoric, without reference to any specific objective rule ("no true Scotsman would do such a thing" ),[2] creating an implied tautology. It can also be used to create unnecessary requirements by adding "true" or "real" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants she'll pass you by
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter
She wears her satins like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
You take her home and she says "Maybe, baby"
She takes you down and drives you wild
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood

So, you would agree with the final phrase of the original post: "in a 'selfish and self-centered culture' or are they sexist"?
