Pretty sure if I was heterosexist all my friends wouldn't be straight and I wouldn't prefer women myself :rolleyes: And Chuff...you can give me some evidence that I'm heterosexist too thanks, seeing as you really know me in real life. |

Umm...Jack didn't seem to be saying Lauren was right to make that accusation. Just that it is understandable that her expectations may be skewed by past experience.
I can totally relate to that. As a kid I was bullied fairly relentlessly for most of my school life, because I had very severe and disfiguring eczema. Strangers used to stare at me. Small children on buses wuold ask their parents, in loud voices, 'what's wrong with that girl's face?'. As a very small child, I experienced the parents of other small children pulling their little ones away from me 'in case they caught it'. When I was in my late teens/early 20s, though the eczema was no longer so apparent, and particularly not apparent on my face, if someone looked atme on a bus or in the street, it would never, in a million years have occurred to me that they might be looking because they thought I was pretty. Even if a lad looked at me, I'd assume he was looking because I was ugly, or because they could see the (by now very faint) signs of eczema. It took me a long time to stop making that assumption of people. You do become conditioned to the responses you've been used to from other people. |

This is precisely the point I've been trying to make, but you've made it much more articulately than I've been able to. Thanks. |

It is still wrong however to label someone phobic with no evidence, probably worse to do so on national telly. ps I completely empathise and sympthise with your plight. children and people can be cruel, especially when its a disability they can see. it must have been very hard for you and despite everyone thinking im a mysoginist on here for fighting for mens rights. I have a big heart and I offer you a huge cyber hug. if you ever want to pm me for a chat I will always respind, as believe it or not I am actually sincere.:hugesmile: |

Why is it that whenever TheTruth comes into a thread it turns into people arguing about sexism/homo/hetrophobia?
Just an observation. Planting seeds? |
@ the truth: aww, thanks m'dear. Cyber hugs are always nice *smiles*

So you're contradicting yourself. Either you want to refer to her accurately or you don't? Poor reasoning for using an offensive term. |
