Thank fuck for that. I spend all of my time wondering if the men I know (and I've just gone ahead and assumed that you are indeed a man because you said you are on an internet forum) love me. I mean, that's what all women do. We just want to be loved. I would've gone to sleep crying tonight if you didn't me.
Way to deflect the question, though. Did you figure out that (1) Silkthread is a female, (2) I, in all likelihood, agree with her (I do; most of the females on this site are probably males) and (3) I couldn't care less if you or anyone else would try to insist that I am in fact a man because my interrogative style emasculates you? I feel for you; I do. Being a man is all you have. It's the one thing that you could be sure of growing up, and now that you're a fully mature, forty-two-year-old man, with lots of life experience and common sense, you've started to realize that either you don't have what it takes for people to recognize your masculinity, or that this shit is really overrated. It's okay - you can claim the latter if admitting to the former on an anonymous internet forum is too painful and frightening for you.
