You’re right. I _am_ oblivious to heterosexism. Well, was, cause I had never thought about it until you brought it up.

In all fairness, though, I don’t much like seeing straight people making out in public, either.

So is everyone here a Boob

Or a Dork?

Or a fan of one of those?

No, he fucking does **not** speak for gay people everywhere. Or even anywhere. He speaks only for his own persecution complex, which is as wide as the ocean and twice as deep.

Getting back to the OP, I have to disagree. Sure, boob jokes don’t really add anything to most threads, but I don’t really see how they detract, either. I don’t see how one post brings the entire thread to a “screeching halt.” It seemed to continue on topic for some time afterwards. I can certianly appreciate being annoyed by a bad joke (and **roger** ’s would certainly qualify) but if we started slapping down everyone who made a bad joke, the only posters left here would be **Sampiro** and **Eve**.

Which, actually, would rock, and totally undercuts my own argument. So never mind.

Just wanted to apologize if I gave the wrong impression. I know he doesn’t speak for anybody but himself, I was just curious as to who he _thought_ he was speaking for. Pardon me if I gave any untinentional offense.

Seriosly, what the heck **is** “heterosexism”? Does is mean that those of us who are hetero are, um… hetero? Should we be ashamed of our sexuality, or just ashamed of joking about it on a message board? Is this anything more than victim politics[sup]tm[/sup]?

Talk about not getting it.

Of the lot of you, only featherlou had something cogent to say that wasn’t simply ripping on me as a person/poster.

Anytime I speak up, there are always some indignant children who call my whiny or shrill. Pathetic.

An inability to respond to points and attacking the poster shows a bankruptcy of ideas.

Oh… and to Miller: _You are a piece of SHIT_. You put words into my mouth and IMMEDIATELY come into threads saying ‘He doesn’t speak for all gay people.’

**I NEVER SAID I DID**.

Your schtick IS OLD. Knock off following me around and either add to the conversation or SHUT THE FUCK UP.

My only persecution complex, if one exists, is that you and Otto and jayjay will come into threads after I post to pull this shit. I have never played the Esprix game of posing myself as a representitive for the gay community at large with an Ask The Gay Guy thread or anything like it. If I wanted you in my ass, you’d get an ingraved invitation.

Following me around like this is looking obcessive on your part.

Then I did make an incorrect assumption on gender and preference and I stand corrected and apologize.

On the other hand, why come in the thread just to add to exactly what Otto was talking about?

Is Freud on any postage stamps? Cuz this invite needs one.

Honestly, **Mockingbird** , I didn’t see anything in this thread that suggested sexual bias. If anything, it was just the opposite. While your assertion may have some merit for a larger audience, it’s likely unjust for the purpose of this thread… hell, even for this board.

I sure hope I’m misreading that, otherwise you’re only apologizing because of her sexual orientation. So, what, it’s okay for a gay/bi person to talk about physical attraction, but not a striaght person? Am I reading you wrong, or are you a bigot and a heterophobe?

> [@Mockingbird](#):

Because many of us posting here think that **Otto** was being uptight about a non-issue?

Quit whining, answer the questions.

> [@Mockingbird](#):
>
> Of the lot of you, only featherlou had something cogent to say that wasn’t simply ripping on me as a person/poster.

Your ideas are laughable and deserve to be torn down. Defend them or stop whining and get the fuck out of the thread.

Such a cute widdle victim? Who’s a cute widdle victim? Yes you are! Oh yes you are! Isn’t he just so precious?

Put up or shut up. Why is it wrong for hetero people to behave like hetero people? Isn’t the goal for everybody, gay, straight, bi, cross gendered, whatever, to be who they are without fear? What is wrong, exactly, with heteros acting like they were born other than that some idiots would restrict your right to do the same?

Your ideas are bankrupt. And if you think nobody’s responded to them, you’re delusional. I’ve pointed out that your term ‘heterosexism’ is a meaningless buzzword. Prove me wrong. I’ve pointed out that there’s nothing wrong with anybody feeling free to express their sexuality among consenting adults (eg. on the Dope), prove me wrong. In short, prove any of your positions.

As of yet, all you’ve done is come in, whine, and then whine about how people won’t accept your whining as gospel. You’re acting like a whiney bitch, cut it out.

> [@Mockingbird](#):
>
> Oh… and to Miller: _You are a piece of SHIT_. You put words into my mouth and IMMEDIATELY come into threads saying ‘He doesn’t speak for all gay people.’

I was asking just how delusional you are. If you’re not speaking for all gay people, evidently you’re just saying that you’re somehow offended by straight folks not being in the closet? So, you’re, like, a bigot? Have I misread your wonderfully nuanced position?

> [@Mockingbird](#):
>
> My only persecution complex, if one exists, is that you and Otto and jayjay will come into threads after I post to pull this shit.

Naw, it seems you’ve also got some persecution issues that make you all upset when consenting adults joke about breasts on a message board. Hell, one lesbian/bi chick was doing the same and you gave her a hard time too, until of course you found out she wasn’t straight.

Round these here parts, we call them “jokes.” They usually aren’t particularly clever or funny, but we calls 'em jokes just the same. 😛

Yes, but that would require giving up some of his self-righteousness, and I’m afraid we just don’t allow that kind of thing around here.

I shall now deliberately tweak the overwhelmingly heterosexist paradigm by announcing my own love and admiration for boobies, specifically those not my own. I shall also (according to Mockingbird) annihilate my boobie-lovin’ credibility because, while female, I am married to a MAN.

This means, obviously, that I only like boobs because guys think it’s sexy that I like boobs.

I’d roll my eyes, but I don’t think I can throw them that far.

Not true at all.

If you will notice, I also fought ignorance in post # 13 by pointing out that there are TITTY DOCTORS at Duke.  
No need to thank me.  
Oh, but you’re GAY!!!

That’s right!

I was bigoted and oppressive!  
[Well, here’s some for you,](http://www.gynecomastia.org/) then, my gay friend who I would not know was gay except for the fact that you trumpeted it in a thread that was way-far-gone down the titty trail! [And some more!](http://srn.surgery.uiowa.edu/surgery/oncology/malebreastcancer.html)

Remember, I do this in the interests of equal time. You can thank me by ceasing to pretend that we’re all beating you over the head with our assumed heterosexism.
