    My dad made a comment about lesbians hating men. I was too shocked to even say any thing. I find that statement incredibly annoying and misogynistic that because some women don't ever want to have sex with men a lot of people translate it to they "hate men" or are flaming sexists. Because heaven forbid a woman isn't a sex toy in heteronormative society since she has nothing else to offer not even friendship to men. Ugh.

    Ugh. I agree I hate when say that. On this on t.v. show I watch there was a lesbian character that became good friends with a guy who had a crush on her (he was okay with her being gay) and a bunch fans said she should "just give up on that 'phase' already" so they could be together. Like, seriously?

    When I was growing up, I certainly didn't hate boys. In fact, I dated almost every guy I could. I even fell in love with one guy, and it hurt me emotionally when we were making out and it felt wrong, because I wanted it to not feel that way. Even though I thought I loved him, I wasn't going to go any farther with any intimate contact just to please him.

    This is what my friend 'A' said about gay people. I.e., gay men hate women and gay women hate men. Obviously, for me, I don't hate women. And I do realize that every poster here is a female, so I'll say that it is nearly 100% not true for anybody and that your Dad doesn't understand it.

    I had a 5-minute long speech about how he's wrong and he hasn't said anything about these topics since, so I did good.

    P.s. Change 'friend' to 'arch enemy #2' (don't ask about #1 :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: )

    people obviously don't understand the difference between not being attracted to some one and hating them. It's like saying that if you don't want to jump the bones of your plumber it's because you "hate" him. There are a lot women I wouldn't want any thing other than friendship, do I hate them too?

    Next time, respond to him by saying "Well, since you don't want to have sex with men, that obviously means you secretly hate all of your male friends".

    Hopefully, that will show him what a dumbass he is for saying something so completely ridiculous, but when you typically do something like this, people just get pissed at you for making them look stupid and don't really bother to acknowledge that you're right, so I'm not holding my breath.
