You seem to think that you have some sort of power over me where you can tell me what I can type or how I can view you. Neither of those are true. The dating site comment was to illustrate that I do, in fact, believe that you have made this about you. I would have said the same thing to a gay man or an androgynous hermaphrodite. It had nothing to do with the fact that you are (or are not) a woman. In my opinion you have brought a lot of personal baggage to this little exchange we are having and are unreasonably offended over a fairly benign comment.
A few points:
I have girl friends. I do not engage in the same activities with them that I do my SO - I doubt she would like that. Ultimately, this is you trying to poison the well to try to show that I'm some socially inept chauvinist who doesn't view women as equals or cannot spend time with a women unless we are romantically involved. Neither of those is true.
If you look back through every single quote that you made from my text, they are all "I" statements. I was making reference to my personal situation: I have guy friends that I drink beer and watch sports with. I prefer a SO who brings something different to the relationship. I want that thing to be more traditionally feminine than what my friends offer me. I believe that many guys are missing out when they force their girlfriends to do activities that they do not want to do.
You are definitely missing out by not dating women. Give it a try!
I acknowledge that a woman can be both feminine and watch sports and drink beer. I never said that they couldn't. I believe that this, again, is an error in your interpretation based on some experience you had, not what I wrote.
The whole "not cool, C.S. Lewis. Not cool." is a really just a sad attempt to, again, make me look like I'm somehow oppressing you by expressing an opinion about my unique situation. You seem to think that you are on some moral high ground because I made a reference to "traditionally girly" activities. Any woman who engages in those activities should be wondering why you are so offended by the mere mention of them - you seem to view them as pejorative. You're so concerned with being neutral (and so busy being offended - see video above) that you have utterly lost perspective of what the original thread or post was about.
Ultimately, I blame myself for this. I posted in a sub that isn't really meant for me or my opinions. There are forums for my thoughts and this isn't one of them. I'll see myself out.
