"Of course we all thought you were gay when we were teenagers: you were confident and you weren't afraid of men."
I don't have an issue with the person who said it: in fact she's very progressive and insanely intelligent. But if even she can come out with something like that and not see it as contradictory/bizarre/insane - then I'm frankly starting to despair of society.
Fear of men and lack of confidence = traditional heterosexual female values? Three out of four people I've discussed this statement with have said it makes sense to them.
Your thoughts, please.
