Yes, Godammit.  I'm a 19 year old male.  As such I have to contend with my
hormones.  I do this with success, and resent being called insensitive.
In November, I met a young lady who I thought was great, just like I had
always thought she would be.  We met a few times, and agreed that we were
good together, I was happy enough.  She came over on my birthday (19th) after
I had known her for about two weeks, and made passionate, considerate love
with (not 'to') me that night, kissed me lovingly (so I thought), and was 
annoyed with me when I called her.  I was duly upset, but in no way think
that such unfortunate incidents are representative of either sex.  I don't
now look at all women thinking that they are only after one thing.  I am
male, and know that the vast majority of people (this includes hetro/homo-
sexual men and women) are looking for friends, people that they can feel
comfortable with.  When I feel the pressures of my libido, I don't look
for an easy lay, I masturbate.  It's easier.  In general, My impressions
of people are that they aren't nasty, insensitive, stupid, or inconsiderate
at all.                 
This sort of sexist literature only confuses.  I'm not a member of the male
team, hooray for our side, let's get out there and FUCK!!  I'm just a person
just this guy, yow know?  Did I make a point?  I don't think so.  I feel better
though.
