I love chubby, middle-aged women! But I wouldn't expect one of them to lecture me about healthy eating. (And trust me, she was twice your size. I used "chubby" to be nice to this particular one.)

No, I don't mean like that - I mean how brazenly they expect to be able to just get into anyone else's face, but they want to actively prevent other people from even having another viewpoint. Kinda like the ones who demand to have a nativity scene on town hall properties, but want to prohibit other religions from having their holiday displays. And if I were to so much as dare to even express my viewpoints, they claim that I'm somehow discriminating against them and impeding their freedom of religion.

I guess I didn't express myself well there. Sorry.

I hear you. I am both a chubby, middle-aged woman and a non-Jew for non-Jesus. She was perhaps taken in by the fact that you are conversational, and cordial, and not uppity or angry. Therefore, you must like her! In fact, you must BE like her! I think this is a learned response among people who mostly only hang around with people like themselves, and shake their heads at the TV when they see "other ways of living." I find white people assume I share their views on other races, women assume i share their views, men assume I don't share their views, and so on. We would all do better to ask questions before making assumptions, but that takes a certain level of sophistication. Not gonna happen if we only hang out with people like us ( ... )
