to men: thinking like woman DOES NOT make you a faggot!

[ulyssa_marie]

I had a conversation with a friend the other day. He's the kind who's got major homophobic issues (scared of homosexuals).. but i don't think it's fear towards them.. but more of anger or hatred of a sort.

Now, i have friends who are gays and lesbians, so i have no problem with them.

Anyway, the conversation went on, and it came to a point when he had to answer a situational question. And that required him to put himself in the shoes of the person in the situation, who was a woman.

Right away, he stopped and went "sorry, i dunno."
I was a little shocked, since this guy is usually very bright. i replied, "huh? you didnt even think about it."
his reply, "i dunno. I can't think like a woman."
"all you need is a little empathy. it's not a difficult question you know." i answered.

"no! i dont want to. i'll feel like a fag" he replied. he dropped the topic immediately after.

A fag? Does thinking like us for a moment make you feel like faggots


Personally, i felt quite offended. us women can put ourselves into men's positions for a while and think like you guys can in certain situation, and yet some guys have such an ego and pride that thinking like a woman would immediately turn them into a fag?

I dunno.. i was a little frustrated at his answer. but i brushed it off..

I just want to know if you guys out there think similarly to the way he does. And if you guys do, please explain so that I may understand your POVs.

for me I dont think so...basin ma hadlok xa tawgong bayot kung naa xa sa ing ana nga situation.. role play raman kaha inyo gibuhat TS so kung ako ang naa sa shoes sa imong frend kay I will go for it..wa man sad ma wa kung ing.ana..in the end of the day..its just a role play..

[hexo]

certainly not... maya maya lang. hahaha

defensive man imo friend TS...basin he's in the denial stage! wahahahaha! anyways, I don't really call it thinking like a woman since I can never be a woman and can never think like one but I always try to put myself in her shoes and see what the other side of the fence might look like...

thinking to be a feminate and acting to be as an effeminate are two logical distinctions....


Men have always their feminine sides.. its just society often dictates a major role in men to be a strong as a rock (in their decisions) and be this and that...

but in the end of the day... men also are weak... though we don't shed our tears at public... but we do cry in the shadows....

Being effeminate is another thing... IT IS WHEN YOU ACT WHAT YOU THINK that matters a lot....

lol no. thinking like a woman or putting yourself in their position does not make a man a homosexual.

Agree with you. Cguro sa pagkabata niya gisungog sya og bayot.
