Do you like men? Why?

I've just been reading the rather infantile thread answers to the post's question: Do you like girls? Why? This is by way of whimsical retaliation - I mean, has DP gone back in time to the 1970s?

Several things struck me about the thread post and the replies:

1) I could not use the same language for my questions. The question "do you like boys?" would have been inappropriate. It would make the poser sound like a pedophile. Strange then that we accept the question, albeit lightheartedly, "do you like girls?". I know that the term "girl" like "baby" is not meant to mean what their formal dictionary definitions but nevertheless there's something quite unsavory at play. Normalizing abhorrent behavior even slightly is completely vile.

2) The poor replies. Poor English, bad grammar, lack of eloquence - were they purposely goofy? Did the replies have their typists coming over all funny or dumb them down?

3) The quantity of replies - I'm guilty of adding one...

4) The high number of reads - ditto my guilt here too...

Do I like men? Yes. Why? I find them fascinating... but I wouldn't have one in the house on a full time basis

 

well, i like abs, and butt is good. also the face. i like really manly masculine men. but not really hairy.

also, vagina's, turn me right off. they are kind of gross looking in my opinion.
don't ask me where i have seen a vagina, its a long story

 

Thankfully you are on the moon where manners are not important. Where do you think you came from? That's right from the mother who taught you no manners. You're gay, so what? Get over yourself. Make a resolution to be less misogynist in 2012 and maybe less confrontational. You do nobody any favors - save perhaps the homophobes.

HOMOPHOBIA: A straight man's fear that a gay man will treat them as bad as straight men treat women.
