If It’s OK For Women To Propose, Why Don’t They?

[The Straight Story]

65. Well I must say I understand your remarks here....but

This is DU and even though a progressive site in general we do exactly the same thing here day in and day out.

Most people believe gun owners are a bunch of shoot em up cowboys out to kill everyone. When less than one percent even use their guns in a criminal way.

Over two billion Christians in this world but we sure don't have an issue with using the worst of them to label the rest of them.

"The issue here is how easy it was for you to take one bad experience with a woman and turn it into a stereotype."

Understand that. See the same thing myself when it comes to people and their interactions with straight/white/men - we are all just sex hungry, power hungry, jerks who hate women...or something like that. I even have folks who just know what my motivations are when I do something (I don't do x out of the kindness of my heart - it is because I think women are weak, want them sexually, etc - people don't even know me personally but judge me based on others they do know).

Biases and stereotypes seem to be the norm even around here and when you bring it up or complain about it you usually hear 'oh, you poor little white male victim, what do you have to complain about' and such.
