 * ''[[Homophobia]]'': Talking about gay people as if they were animals in heat.
 * ''[[Misogyny]]'': Talking about human traits such as logic and reason as if they were exclusively male traits, as if women were pet animals rather than fellow human beings.
 * ''[[Misandry]]'': Talking about men as if they were robots or monstrous beasts. Statements such as "''To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo.''"
