I’m trying to be offended, but it’s just not happening.
2007 August 15
Interesting article over at Violent Acres this evening, I’d Be Bisexual if Women Weren’t So Goddamn Annoying. Being a big fat nosey dyke, it’s always interesting to see what the other side thinks.
VA, darling, your friend is completely yanking your chain. He didn’t describe a queer, he described a slut. If you don’t know what a queer is, you’re not one. Now rock on in your sluthood.
Also, it needs to be noted, if you think all women must be talked to and don’t know how to work a good booty call, you’re hanging around the wrong women. Unfortunately for you, the right women almost never mix it up with married women. Sorry hon, sucks to be you.
yeah, this one upset me a little too. How does her gay friend get the definition of “queer” so fucked up?
It didn’t really upset me much, honestly. I have a sneaking suspicion that her “gay friend” is an apolitical bar queen, and that whole group tends to be a little more insular.
and besides, getting VA to accept her nascent wannabe sluthood will make for some excellent postiness.
VA is hilarious.
Typical. Gay people who make the decision to pull the victim card, and act like they are hurt by something a straight person says, are idiots.
Next thing you know, you’ll be asking for reparations for all of the years you’ve spent “oppressed”.
If you knew the first thing about VA, you would know that it really isn’t necessary to take her so seriously.
I know, I know – you’re a victim. Victims must absolutely take any and every word ever said, and use them to prove just how much of a victim they are.
Get over yourself. If I didn’t know any better, I would suggest that you *still* aren’t comfortable with your own sexuality.
Steven +1
@ Steven: … yeah, suckitude, but what IN THE HELL are you talking about?
Why would you even TRY to be offended at this? VA wasn’t trying to step on your feminist, man-hating opinions anymore so that she was trying to tell everyone she hates gay people.
Fucking lesbians.
To Steven, Will and Hah: If you actually read the post, you would see that she is NOT offended, or playing ‘the victim card.’
Mer, kudos on making it onto VA!
It’s funny that people can’t read enough to realize that you aren’t actually insulting her? Did they miss the title?
Steven & Hah appear to be fighting some mysterious war invisible to everyone else. Good luck to them – may it bring them much amusement.
And you know, it’s not just women who have expectations of conversation. I’ve dated men who wanted to talk about their ‘feeeelings’ all the goddamn time. Like I gave a shit. Now I date a guy who watches TV with his hand down his pants and grunts a lot and he suits me just fine.
Dear Mer, you fail miserably ^_^
Your website is a blatant ripoff of VA. Except, the only reason you write is because you’re a goddamn attention whore.
In the (in)famous words of Willy Wonka, “You LOSE, GOOD- DAY SIR.
Hey, thanks rancid-tea! I guess this is proof that the internet loves random, huh?
Also, Maxine, on both counts? A-fucking-men.
To everyone else, thanks kindly! If you didn’t say something nice, you’ve definitely been amusing.
Steven, Will, and ‘Hah’ – you’re not only fighting some mysterious war that’s invisible to everyone else, but it also seems like you’re living in another reality.
You post comments anonymously because you’re cowards and you like to think that your bigoted, pathetic opinions actually count towards something. They don’t.
Steven, you’re a homophobe calling other people idiotic, hypocritical or what? Get over yourself.
when did 90% of the world lose it’s sense of humor? i knew we were in trouble, but i had no idea it was this bad…i simply don’t understand how people can ‘get’ VA, but not ‘get’ this post.
very strange indeed.
I’m a straight man and I didn’t find your post offensive. I found VA’s friend’s definition of queer strange too and was about to think the word had warped definitions again.
Did I mention VA is made of immense win?
I think it wouldn’t be unreasonable to believe that people are getting a little, actually, no, Fucking going batshit over something thats humorous, You are like fundamentalist Christians about this kind of shit, except, On the other side of the fence.
Mellow out.
Mer – You’re absolutely right! V’s buddy is totally yanking her chain. Here’s my post to Vtalk (whatever):
“My friend insists that queer folk just enjoy fucking people of both sexes while bisexuals would be happy in a long term relationship with either a man or a woman.”
No no no no no no! No.
Queer folk enjoy fucking people of the SAME sex.
Bisexual folk enjoy fucking people of BOTH sexes.
I don’t know a single queer – male or female (and I know hundreds!) – who would not recoil in horror at the thought of being in a long term relationship with a person of the opposite sex.
Bisexuals would certainly be willing.

I don’t know where this confusion has come from in the last five or ten years. It used to be very clear – black and white, up or down, liberal or conservative. But since gay culture has begun to move into the mainstream these lines are becoming blurred, and for those of us who are older it’s quite unsettling.
For the youngsters, well it’s all new, isn’t it? I find a real satisfaction in seeing the open attitude and acceptance of “nontraditional” lifestyles and relationships among the younger generation. It’s an indication of the social progress since the horror of the pre-protease inhibitors AIDS Plague.
But I still don’t understand why gay women hate men.
I got this post and thought it was hilarious. I also thought it was hilarious to see just how many people can take something so damn seriously. Really, is there anything wrong with being a slut?
I agree – the friend did describe a slut! What shits me is:
Isn’t everyone ‘bisexual’ these days? (Homosexuality, however, remains relatively stable in definition.)
Isn’t bisexuality the latest hot trend? A flashing neon ‘Aren’t I something special?’ sign? It’s the currency for straight bimbos looking to score polularity-points with strange, greedy men. It’s getting hard to tell who’s genuine, and even harder to care.
And it’s a crying shame because there ARE genuine bisexuals out there…and they don’t jump from bed to bed *just* because they happen to be bisexual – They’re sentient beings, too!
And on the other hand, just because someone is genuinely gay it sure as shit doesn’t mean they own the rights to homosexuality!
I’m just waiting for the whole thing to go full circle so we can get to a point where sex and intimacy were private, and sexuality was a genuine choice whether you were gay, straight, bi or asexual.
i jus love both of u LOL
Steve, indeed, WHAT IN HELL are you talking about? Victim…what? Get over yourself? Seems like you were looking for any reason to be in the writer’s face. You didn’t really find one so, what the hell, in the face anyway. You made zero sense.
Re: queer. I am a female, who sleeps with females, and I identify as queer. Won’t be having on e of those boys. But…I’m queer. There ya go, another wrench in the works.
I love this! I hate watching pretty girls walking around with a vapid expression and swishy hair, and these are the women I have never been attracted too. My girlfriend is different and flawed and I love that. I think my best friend is the most beautiful girl in the world, and she wears her hair in a clip at the top of her head and never, ever wears makeup.
I’m just a little sad that V hasn’t found the kind of different, strange, and beautiful women I see every day, as a lesbian and a friend.
I do believe the appropriate reaction is “more for me”. *grins*
