Gotta wonder about a guy who [only has 414 posts](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) here, but that includes [_starting_ 49 threads](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=16557288) already. ---

BRB - gotta tell my former room mate that living together as friends for 2 years was a complete mistake and that I regret everything. Bet he’ll be surprised! If men and women are never, ever allowed to hang out (except for being related or married), um, how do you expect them to meet/date?.. Am I supposed to be a lesbian, now? I’m so confused, but I’m glad you’re here to clear everything up 😃 ---

I’m sure they have a wonderfully disgusting term for that, since they do for absolutely everything else. Still, this explains so, so very much. Excuse me now, while I go vomit. ---

**Moderator Warning** > [@Marcus\_Flavius](#): > > Fight me. While there is no rule against having opinions about gender roles that are outdated enough to belong in the stone age, there is a rule against posting things specifically to rile people up. The “Fight me” bit at the end makes it clear that the intent of this post is just that, to rile people up. As such, consider this a formal warning for trolling. Thread closed.
