Not knowing you and your boyfriend, i can't make this statement with full certainty, but throwing sexist names in anger doesn't fully mean that he holds those beliefs. If he had a friend whom he had an argument with, what names would he call him? Does he honestly believe those things about his friend? When men get angry and yell at each other we use all sort of names, c*cksucker, motherf*cker among others... Do we actually believe these names are embodied by our friends or acquantainces? No, they are the first things that come to mind to express our utter dissatisfaction with the situation. When I found out my then fiance was cheating on me, I had some ripe terms for her. Did I believe all of them? No, but it made it a hell of a lot easier to express myself... Words flung in anger are not the best way to judge someone's character.
