I think you must be a "white man" -- talking with a forked
tongue!

When you grow up, you might realize  that the Personality that
presents via a BBS-KEYBOARD-CONFERENCE is very different to
almost every other situation.

If you ever read other conferences, then get to meet the real
people, you'd be surpised just how mistaken your "imagination"
really was.

But getting back on topic:

Reasons that I was mistaken as "gay" was that I did not use nor
refer to women as sex objects.   This meant that if a woman
valued the sexual sterotype so much that I failed to react to her
"well-proven" tests, then I was not one of the 95% heterosexual
men -- so she thought.

Like most men who are extremely popular with women, I have
sisters - three in fact.  Since this "sexual objectification" is
so common amongst heterosexual males, it is only to be expected
that I should be seen as not a sterotype man.

In my years of work with delinquents (all ages) and disabled men,
I've always been puzzled about reinforcing them into the
tradional male sex role.

But I think that we don't have any feminists in this conference -
neither male feminists nor female feminists.

As well, feminist, sexism & racism are off-topic to this
conference, unless they relate to disability.
