Like arguing that Deliverance is sexist because a rocket is a phallic symbol. I think one reason why the argument about that was so much at cross-purposes was that one lot were thinking "but it wasn't *intended* to be sexist" and another party was thinking "intent is irrelevant, the only meaning is what I see to be there".
And I think, well, that's one of a number of possible meanings, but not the first one that occurs to me.
