I have a Major Pet Peeve
I'm heterosexual, but dont think that because I sleep with women that I will sleep with ANY and ALL women, please dont stereotype me or degrade me when I tell you about my sexual preferences, nor try the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" approach. Im PROUD of being straight.................thank you!

1. ok
I don't think you are in danger of being stereotyped. You are in the majority. Whats the point of this post again?

2. That's a damnable lie. Demonaut WILL sleep with any and all women
This is simply a ploy to get some more offers.

31. As the old saying goes...
..."I'll sleep with any woman I please. The problem is, I don't please any of 'em."

5. There is a one click solution for you,
and for me. You only have to read what you want to read. Anyone that posts stuff that you find ridiculously offensive an rude you ignore.

7. no, if the post is such then ignoring it is worse
we dont walk in lockstep for everything, you didnt understand my reply to slinkywink, I saw a "woe is me" post and an attack on all men, is she's angry about a few the let it be said a few, dont include all men, the ones who make offensive comments will ALWAYS make offensive comments, etiquette is obvious to most and some choose to ignore it either out of ignorance or more likely lack of character. I will not opologise for anothers crass comments nor be flamed because of my sex.

8. She said I made one
and I didn't even know about her sexuality until that very thread. :shrug: All I said was that she was good looking. That must be offensive now I guess.

11. But we are the victims.....
Imagine how guilty I feel because of all the advantages I get by being a 30 something male.

I tell you, it's quite a cross to bear :-)

I have to feel guilty when I get jobs over other people based on my gender.

I have to feel guilty when salespeople talk to me, not Ms Eureka (albeit at their own peril, of course)

I have to feel guilty when politicians try and appease my demographic*

So many things to feel guilty about, I can hardly stand the pain.


(* demographics may not be interchangable between countries, the US is very different to where I live)

26. Sorry, work in the way again
I live in Australia.

Things are very different here than they are in the US, and the more I see on DU the more surprised I am. In some ways the US is "more progressive" than we are, but in others, I am truly shocked (eg, boobgate, far out we get bits shown all over the place and you can say the f word whenever the urge takes you)

Yeah, we can leave it at "cause" if you like, I was being a smartass but the general principle of what I posted stands

Peace

27. I know, and it was a smartass thread, Australia seems a combination
Edited on Mon Mar-08-04 10:55 PM by Demonaut
of the US and UK, wish the continent was closer. I grew up in the UK but have spent most of my adult life in the US, visited Australia when I was in the navy and loved it, if GW wins I might have to emmigrate there

28. Ha, at the moment
I'm pretty glad it's on the other side of the planet :-) Give me a yell when Bush* is gone and we can tow it a little closer! (but I'm not giving up my tropics, no way)

You are right about being a cross between the US and UK, it's a lot like that. We take a bit from here, a bit from there, and make the rest up ourselves.
