Unfortunately to him its not a joke. Still I sent this to a friend who

really is involved in the male support group industry from another country.
His reply was along the lines of what a tosser, if he came to us for funds
for his support group/personal vendetta we would recommend a psychologist.
My personal belief, get over it penis envy died with Freud

Sadly, he is for real. It's a personal tragedy for him, and actually rather
scary. There's no knowing what someone so out of touch with reality might
do.

Well written Peter


Those who disagree with what you have written obviously have never been on
the receiving end of FemiNazi behaviour.

If they had been on the receiving end of FemiNazi behaviour they would be
agreeing with you.



I know all too well the cough you are talking about too, it is the cough of
the female saying I am here and you preferentially let me through. If it
were just someone clearing their throat then how come men never do it that
way. ("Nit-pickers" who want to jump in here, don't waste your time).


Very unprofessional for a nurse to put herself in that situation too, yes it
is entrapment. Would a male doctor take a female patient's hand and put it
on his leg close to his genitals ..... I hope not, it would make the
patient feel very uncomfortable and is unprofessional. I would be as
offended and receive the same mixed messages as you did if it happened to
me. (Of course being a single young normal male, I live in the hope
everyday that there will be an attractive single female out there who will
want me to put my hands on her breasts).


I'm guessing that maybe the males who responded to what you wrote don't have
those same feelings because they are attracted to other males, so it isn't
a problem for them.


You're doing a good job Peter, and those who try to say otherwise obviously
don't have the insight to see what is happening, they are blinded until it
happens to them ..... or of course maybe they don't value honesty and
freedom and the chance for people to be treated with dignity and respect
irrespective of their race or gender or colour of skin.
