His argument was that women have sex with men only if they have a reason to do so. He gave me two examples: women who have sex for money and women who have sex in order to feel more "connected" with their partner. After I told him I did not agree with his argument, he said, "What the hell would you know, anyway? Aren't you queer or something?" I think he had to resort to the "oh, but your opinion doesn't count" line because his argument was invalid. Nonetheless, his dismissal of my opinion based on my sexual orientation made me feel insecure (especially since I had just come out of the closet to my friends and a few others just days before this conversation).Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948892541496681232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343911386688836644.post-67556200095196396752010-06-24T02:27:42.119-07:002010-06-24T02:27:42.119-07:00liminalD, yeah, those two sentences were basically...liminalD, yeah, those two sentences were basically exactly what I was gettting at.
