Wait, Utaha Kasumigaoka had another thought!
From the fact that Sogo could still talk to Shizuka Hiratsuka, his gynophobia probably wasn't all that severe yet. Or rather, what Sogo feared right now wasn't women, but Mashiro Shiina.

"If you're not gay, then tell me, why doesn't the [Oolong Tea Research Club] you founded have a single female member? And how could researching oolong tea possibly be an intense activity!?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka, who thought she had figured everything out: (¬_¬)
Ms. Hiratsuka, you don't understand. Sogo hasn't reached the point of becoming gay yet. He's just afraid of Mashiro, that girl. Still, who would've thought that despite her blank, dazed appearance, she'd be so wild when it
