What touching words. Bollocks of course. But touching none the less.
I realise it's going to be difficult to come across as anything other than a chauvanist here, and I appreciate that what he was sayig there probably helped quite a lot of confused and scared people (which can only be a good thing), but it didn't really answer the question did it. What the interviewer should have followed that up with is -
Ok Steven, that's admirable, but do you fancy men?
Who said anything about only seeing women sexually, obviously he isn't sexually attracted to ALL women, and he doesn't necessarilly only see those that he is attracted to in a sexual way, but that wasn't the question. The question was clearly - Do you find men attractive? Which is possibly none of the interviewer's business, but skating around it will only perpetuate that kind of question. Not necessarily fair, but that's the nature of the business.
They should get Jeremy Paxman to interview him.
