"Gaydar" Still Not A Real Thing

We still don't believe in the preternatural ability to discern someone's sexuality.

Howard hammers on about Alanis' hookups with women and tries to box her into easy-for-straight-folks-to-understand stereotypes, like when he asks, "What type of women were you attracted to? Ultra-femme? Or butch?" Alanis just laughs at him.
