> What an interesting question! I’ve never even considered it myself (I am a paraplegic). Imo, personally a fight between me and my gf would be very one-sided, unfair fight (in my favor). However, I don’t think most of the outside world would have the same opinion. Obviously this opinion has never been tested and never will be but based on my experiences in public with my gf as well as solo experiences have shaped that opinion. Both of us are treated as some level of helpless and vulnerable but it’s significantly more pronounced with me.

> For example, both of us have people falling over themselves to open doors for us but if we are alone and tell the person who is eager to help that their help is appreciated but unwanted and unneeded, my gf is the one whose request will be heeded. I just get ignored and the help is forced upon me. This is a regular occurrence.

Know your place! Ableism is insidious and has virtually no forum for discussion, but feminism, racism, LGBT rights - Everyone falls over their heels trying to maintain a politically correct stance with those.

You should be grateful they make bathroom stalls for your kind.

Unless she arms herself with a broom. Sorry, bro. ☹

(And I apologize to the thread, I JUST now realized I should have multi-quoted. I’m new! Gimme some slack.)

Um, I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. Honestly. I mean, it seems like it is but I’ve just met too many assholes that think exactly this way and would have no issue being open and honest while being anonymous online.

Heavy, heavy sarcasm. I’m way too sweet a person to ever verbally attack someone.
