I think Shakespeare spells it out pretty clearly. He wrote it as a mans world but it applies to every human that's ever lived.
EVERY ONE!
I think our "Male-Centric" society needs a major revision of attitude. Equality means a very specific thing.
I am an actor and have done several hundred stage plays and a couple movies and TV shows. I've been paid for it and I've given it away but I loved every one and I am very good at it. I try very hard to confine my "Acting" to the stage and offer the real me to the world. Usually I succeed but I have really screwed it up a couple of times. We all have an ego and it is a ravenous beast until you learn to control it. Most of us eventually grow up but some don't.
What you see is me!
What you read that I've written is me!
If I state it that's what I believe!
I truly believe the bitterest truths are orders of magnitude better than the sweetest lies! This plays literal hell with me if I have to let someone down gently because I also live my life to not hurt others.
Learn to live with it because it has the potential to destroy you if you don't. Just bitching about it only hurts you. Try for understanding rather than hatred and strife. I saw a cartoon that showed ANGER as a flame cooking IGNORANCE in a retort that distilled into HATE. I'll have to find that again and post it.
Shakespeare defined it several hundred years ago. To bad most don't read and understand history, we'd have a LOT fewer wars.
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
William Shakespeare
This is MY opinion. If yours differs, great! If it doesn't, that's great too! Each is based on knowledge, acceptance and understanding. If you decide to fight with me about it then that little still I described above is where your understanding is.
It harkens back to an old internet adage: Welcome to the internet, where men are men, women are men, and little kids are FBI agents. But, some of the men are actually women.
Not completely applicable anymore.
Just keep wallowing in your own chaotic insecure delusions.

Is that actually a male or female lol .. I cant tell!
I suppose that worry is moot if the person in question is bisexual.

I'm really me. I think that's the take away here. lol
Anything is better than:
Red and whites (groans)
That's why I mentioned using Google-Image search on my profile. I've found a lot of hot girls here who are just using pics from the net. I don't care as long as you admit it! But please don't think you are fooling me.
I really don't care if the picture or what the person I'm talking to says is real or not. What I'm connecting with is the mind behind the words, the emotion behind the pics. It's the friendship and communication that really matters, not what grouping of pixels I'm looking at. I'm bisexual so even the thought that a guy is pretending to be a woman doesn't turn me off. It's that what rocks their boat, than so be it.
To me, this ongoing worry that someone is lying on the internet is worse than foolish. It's the web, and we all lie here. (Says the 19 year old cheerleader pretending to be a 50 year old guy)
I'm an old man and I'm trying very hard not to be critical, but honest to Pete! (That was my Aunt Edna's favorite comment. I don't understand why. Frankly, I don't believe Edna ever knew anyone named Pete) Anyway, this might be one of the shallowest discussions I've ever encountered. The beauty of a site like this one is that people are actually judged by the merit of what they write. That's really the only factual criteria we have to evaluate each other. I'm not talking about stories, I'm talking about the comments and discussions we have with each other.
In the short time I've been visiting this site I've met some people that I very much enjoy. Everyone designates their gender and many make claims about their age and sexual appeal. While some may be more honest than others, so what? In the world of anonymous cyber communication, everyone's appeal will eventually be measured by what they have to say.
If you come to a site like this one seeking fantasy sex, then you should probably be content with a fantasy partner. If you're not, I suggest you try the old fashioned method. Go out in the real world and find a real partner.
