Thanks, sci. Along with a few others who read my intent with some accuracy, I appreciate your words. I was merely telling stories and life events that I have found to be somewhat mind-numbing and a little inexplicable.And there's some truth about your comments where unilateral dishing out could occur yet men could never lash back because of the "sexual harassment" card. Well, guess what? The one gal at my workplace (reputed to be a lesbian and not at all agreeable) who is very combative with most people got verbally out of line with me at a training session in our conference room. Others heard the content of the exchange. I immediately marched to personnel and initiated a sexual harassment complaint against her. People who heard the exchange were interviewed and corroborated my story to a tee. (I had other negative one-way e-mails she sent to me that I had saved in a folder on my computer that I stapled onto the complaint). She has been disciplined for this and is "on-warning." I am only sorry she hasn't been fired. Thanks, guys, for understanding that I am relaying some experiences much the way someone would on a radio call-in show or something like that. After all, The Lounge is a medium much like that.

Gee, thanks. I can see that you've posted a fraction of what others here have, so you evidently don't know me very well. Homophobic....I don't think so. Moron...I think that's the LAST word any friend or co-worker would use to describe me yet, through cyberspace, you feel very qualified to do just that.I very explicitly said that my objection was NOT related to feminist/lesbian activity in bed or their affectional proclivities but rather how SOME treat other people, primarily men who may not be responsible for whatever some feminists/lesbians are angry about. I'm sorry, but my experiences with the IDENTIFIABLE angry feminist / probable lesbian persona have NOT been favorable. I don't project ANYTHING --- most people come up to me and tell me their life stories. Also, as an extremely naive 23 year old who hadn't a clue as to what a lesbian was at that time, the boss I had didn't have any vibes or projections to pick up on. Her callousness was so uniformly distributed and venomous that she was fired. If I am male, outspoken, overly educated, and fairly self-confident... and someone is threatened by the "vibes" that gives off, it sounds like it's their problem. Most people on this site engage in intelligent back and forth debate if that's where a thread goes. Calling me a homophobic moron might indicate you are not capable of operating on that level, but thanks for your input.

this line is killing me...I can hear it now.... is it vintage / classic Steely Dan, CSN or Moody Blues... help ...

Welcome back, Cali dude (via transplantation)!!!

I did, child, but you capitalized on it to make a play on words...haha... :AH-HA_wink:

Glad to see you posting, Chargerino!My response: net

No. It's not a gay thread. It's a lesbians thread. It was meant to be different, razor.

Damn, I wonder where you work that she still can keep her job. I'd like to see her ass on the sidewalk.

See, and how would I even know who was a feminine lesbian...I guess most of us would never know unless it was confided to us or reported with some credibility.

All right, most people who have been on the forum here know I am NOT crazy about lesbians. I am fairly indifferent to gay men. However, lesbians carry such negative energy that I can't dismiss it and thus dislike them. My first run-in with a lesbian was at a place of employment a few years after college in So. Cal. She was my immediate supervisor. I had NO clue she was a lesbian, but how quickly you learn. I just thought she was a woman who preferred short hair and had a thick, squatty frame. We would go to company sites and had to turn in expense reports upon returning from the trip. Even though there was a minimum below which you didn't have to itemize, I tend to be overly detail-oriented and I would itemize stuff like bridge tolls. The bitch called me into her office and said "I'll tell you once, I'll tell you twice, the third time you'll crawl." I would have never dreamed that someone in a professional setting would talk like that. She had a terrarium plant sitting there, which I dreamed of picking up, hurling at her face and ideally maiming her, but I restrained myself. With this very same sn*tc*, we had to go to Phoenix. She told me to call a number in Las Vegas and ask for Linda, pretending it was a wrong number. I did so. A mannish woman answered and, when I asked for Linda, this woman became angry. I said "you know...Linda...uhm...Martinson." She calmed down and told me I had the wrong number. Evidently, my lesbian boss had a thing for this Linda. She wound up going to Vegas for the intervening weekend. On Monday, I was told to get my luggage, leave the hotel in Phoenix and come back to L.A. since my boss, the lesbian, was in the hospital. (Evidently, she had been beaten up). She was EVIL on two legs. She was fired shortly thereafter. I have lived in both Seattle and Portland. These are lesbian meccas. Some of the lesbians up there are so unemotive, brittle and sullen. In fact, they seem so icy, I wonder how they even emote enough to show enough interest in another human being, regardless of gender. It's always the same up there: short hair, no make- up, clothes that are not flattering, Navajo type Indian jewelry and ...DRUM ROLL...the Subaru wagon. In fact, after flying up to Portland on Wednesday night, I said..."I've gotta do a lesbian thread" because I wound up sitting next to one. In fact, she had the seat assignment next to me but chose to sit elsewhere initially, coming back when the plane was filling up! She was probably in her mid 20s. I POLITELY asked if I could get through to use the bathroom. She scowled. I felt like telling her she was a "worthless carpet munching c**t who would go nowhere in life" but I refrained. Yet, on the public transportation to the suburbs to pick up a rental car, a chick in her mid 20s, obviously heterosexual, chooses to sit down next to me and talk to me ALL THE WAY to where I got off, telling me her life story...and I had just been sitting there with my luggage piled up in the back of the light rail car. Along the same lines, the only troublemaker in our firm, who is hated by everybody including the partners, from what I can see, is an angry but slender tomboyish lesbian. Bottom line: They suck....not for their sexual preference, but for their general behavior and treatment of others, particularly males. Therefore, I am NOT prejudging because I am discriminating based on a hostile and unsavory personality...the same way I would of any other person (male or female) who has a crappy personality. Also, if it's any consolation, the angry, unkempt and "rough around the edges" dyke doesn't go very far in life from what I can see. They work in print shops, warehouses and other jobs that won't allow them to make much of a difference in your life. OK, so: 1) contribute your lesbian gripe stories as you see fit, thanks to my plane ride and the Rosie O'Donnell thread that was started a few days ago, and 2) please do not hijack the thread toward the "gay male" direction since, on this forum, that tends to ignite things...so you are being forewarned.

Thank you, Mr. Calgary. I agree. Lesbian anger is f*ck*d...just downright 'effin horrible. Again, I don't think most of us hate lesbians or what they do...we hate how they act when they're NOT in bed.

WRONGIt's "Gloria" - remember? "will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon." Ok, now that I've polluted Camino's thread with the "D" word, let's move on!

Ok, this one's easier: How's it going to go down? Will you meet him on "the Main Line"? Or will you catch him on the rebound? Will you marry for the money...take a lover in the afternoon? Feel your innocence slipping away...don't believe it's coming back soon... And you really don't remember...was it something that he said.... ....all those voices in your head... calling.............................REFRAIN

How about preventing them from being on the road for 1 year...or 5 years...and while you're at it, add Nissan, Hyundai and Mazda to the list... for starters...

Hope you had a great birthday, Thanksgiving baby! I was in Canada and did not log in. Incidentally, our office "hose monster" shares your birthday...she is an interesting one. Happy belated!

Happy belated, Scharm! I was in Vancouver over the weekend and did not plug in to C and G. Yep, we Nov 22 to Dec 21 people are the coolest, aren't we? (don't know how much I believe in that stuff, anyway). Hope you had a great day!

Interesting connection - I watched a documentary on the yakuza onceMy response to thread: Versailles

Getting on a plane this p.m. to go up to Portland to visit my Mom. I know we will go to the SAME brunch, but that's ok. Then, it's off to either Seattle or Canada. How about you guys? Happy Thanksgiving.
