like, if I’m nice (as I would prefer to be), a man might get the wrong impression, but I’m also afraid to be rude or do anything to upset them so I have to be the right kind of nice or polite - it’s a real double-bind, and something I don’t experience with women
Of course, don’t play too far or they’ll think you’re just playing “hard to get” because these men have it in their minds that every woman wants to sleep with them, and the ones that don’t are a “conquest”.
yes, it’s a real double bind, and it’s even worse because I’m afraid of what men will do; one time a man was frustrated with me and they literally physically grabbed me and started to push me- I know they feel they have a right to touch me, so I want to be polite and nice to avoid their anger or frustration, there’s a real sense of danger and wanting to placate
And what’s that, you’re a lesbian? And you just want to be friends? Obviously you’ve just never had the right man (note: The speaker always believes himself to be the right man)
