I think these discussions are important. I trust you feel the same way.
It's time to begin some real conversations about expectations, language and the way we all perceive our human sexuality and the expression of same,
I have nothing against you, really don't know you one way or the other, I was just curious as to what you meant by your phrases. I can understand that these are touchy subjects, and that no one really wants to open up any more worm-filled cans here, but I promise I was not going to attack you in any way.
I was hoping for conversation. For some back and forth. At the worst, I might have wanted to point out where a come on line might seem benign to a male, but could be perceived as a threat from a female individual's point of view. That's it. Nothing scary. Nothing emasculating. No secret agenda. Just a desire to continue the conversation.
Please do not assume things about someone you don't know, and I won't assume anything about you. And I really don;t deserve your hostility, but I sure have gotten used to it lately from a few others, so I will just take that as part of your particular "culture."
Cheers.
