The queer corner

Ayn Marx · 07-10-2022, 05:29 PM

Had a surprise visit from my cousin I’d not seen in over 40 years. Worked as a trucker along the East Coast of Australia. I once hitched a ride with him to Brisbane during which I soon learnt he wasn’t straight. He explained truckers like him ‘entertained' large numbers of hitchers. Needless to say I soon learnt to avail myself of the joys of the interstate highway.
Claims he's now happily married to a lovely woman yet while visiting he drew my attention to this sight. Methinks if he still drove trucks he’d still be providing ‘entertainment’ to lonely hitchers.

Where have all the poofs & dyXs gone ? Not that many of our lesbian friends hang around establishments such as this which is a shame. Their perspective on hetro males, if caustic, can be amusing at times.

Mate the women of this forum are statistically very gay
We're not all manhaters you know but I feel like this is accurate:

I wasn’t aware I’d suggested all women are man haters. On the other hand I’ve too frequently witnessed straight female friends treated in public by dyXs as sex objects in exactly the same way many straight males treat other women in public. At times this has had me thinking- “Hang on, you’re behaving towards other women exactly in the way you object to men doing to you” I ran this by a close lesbian friend just now & she suggested these women are taking male hormones the make them behave that way. I have no idea if there’s any truth in that. Hope I’ve managed to explain my puzzlement - this is a risky area to discuss I’m told.

What a weird, creepy liar.

People who objectify women exist in the straight male community and in the lesbian community (and in the bi, trans, and genderqueer communities too, I should think). Not all straight males objectify women, nor do all lesbians. It has nothing to do with being straight male, lesbian, etc. It has to do with being a person who objectifies women.

Yeah that's the weirdest form of bull**** sexism I've heard about in a long time. Sounds TERF-ish tbh

Anyway no worries Ayn, the manhater comment was tongue-in-cheek

You learn something new every day - thanks, Marie.

I'm not an expert on the subject but even if a lesbian or transitioning-to-male person takes male hormones, I hardly think that automatically makes them objectify women!

To be fair women do take testosterone often for hormonal imbalance issues, especially once menopausal, and it does often lead to an exceptionally high increase in things like libido.

No correlation to higher probability of behaving like a douchebag, though.
