How To Remove Candle Wax from A Mobile Phone

would you think that this would indicate that I have doubts about my own sexual preference?

Nah, you're just becoming Metrosexual

Seems it's just bad juju to do grouping and labels at all. Don't we have enough division...

Too true, I don't care what anybodys sexuality is, as long as their not male and have me in their sights

Well said Richard!

(Edit- O dear...It's the lack of a diet coke...I'm starting to agree with him... )

Too true, I don't care what anybodys sexuality is, as long as their not male and have me in their sights

And that's a problem because...? It's it too horrifying to have to politely utter the phrase, "No thank you, I'm not interested." once in a while?

Because some members of society just won't take no for an answer, that includes females too of course

((Hum... Why does that sound familiar?))

 

[Kraj]

Then the problem is with the sleazeballs that won't take no for an answer; their sexuality has nothing to do with it.

((Hum... Why does that sound familiar?))

I give up. Why?

 

[KenHigg]

...I give up. Why?

"No thank you, I'm not interested." I'm guessing I may have heard it a time or two whilst hitting on super model looking chickies many moons ago while chugging suds...

 

[Rich]

But they don't see themselves as sleazeballs, desire is often overwhelming

Well it's just plain stupid. It's like a super-concentrated stereotype. Let's see... how can we reinforce the gay vs. straight and urban vs. rural seterotypes while coining a completely unnecessary term for a straight man who cares about his appearance, riding the fad success of Queer Eye, encouraging an increase in the market for men's cosmetics to help us get rich, and simultaneously make anyone with an iota of intelligence want to vomit? I've got it....!

Believe it or not, I think it's a terrible term fraught with supposition, unclarified linguistic ideas, and just plain misleading all as I pointed out earlier. I guess I'm simply more wont to speak on the level society has dictated than to fight to rise above it. 'My bad.'

So is your imagination

 

[Rich]

while chugging suds...

Would that be soap suds?

 

[KenHigg]

ah hahhahahahahaha

you're so funny...............

 

[Kraj]

Again, this has nothing whatsoever to do with one's sexuality.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to make a dig against you. I was just venting my irritation at the term.

No problems. I didn't see it as a dig. If anything I guess I deserve my own slap on the hand for using it. To an extent one could pose that those who are, use the term to rebuff the still psychologically supressed masses -- a sort of turned up nose, childish "we're better than you are" as a way to create separation.

Or, alternately, one could argue that our less-gender-confined heterosexual males (there, how's that for a term?) have, themselves, their own insecurity in how to be seen or accepted. Certainly it's a believable argument. It's the same motivation that (forgive if this offends) many 'Flamers' subconciously possess--in that they seek separation because they seek community so they set up a stereotype and a term to define it, then fulfill the stereotype. This is, essentially, the basis for all 'gender polarization' issues which attempt to assign genders to any action or personality, etc etc. Bem's book on the distorting lenses of culture as it related to the polarization of genders works well within this argument.

In a perfect world there would be no gender at all -- only sex. Male and Female and those who sit inbetween, but no where would there be 'masculine' or 'feminine.' Just people.

I never said it was, however one might feel less comfortable having to say it to male member of society, or a masculine member, or even more so to one of those who sit somewhere in between.

An anectode that somewhat relates to the topic, but that I think you'll find interesting:

Recently I was at an event where I overheard a conversation between two men. One began telling the other how "flaming" and feminine gays were an embarassment and weren't even real men. He went on in greater detail but I don't remember every comment. I was instantly put off by such a rude, close-minded, and somewhat offensive commentary.

Then I was told who he was: a homosexual, S&M bondage master who takes photos for a bondage magazine semi-professionally. I'm sure he prefers butch men, but you'd think a person with rather unconventional sexual tastes would have learned to be open minded. How's that for a Freudian Rubic's cube, eh?

Oi. There are so many things wrong with just that situation I could write a couple pages on that. Of course, some REAL therapists could rip that to shreds.

Truly blind but so transparent I would feign to call him a Rubic's cube--that would indicate being 'puzzling' to figure out.

*Ahem*

How about this?: "I don't care what anybodys sexuality is." <-Period.

There is no need for any kind of behavior qualifier.

Fair enough.
