I wouldnt have took offence, id have put it down to him being male, and alot of males Are competative.
He sounds like an arse though.
Oh yea, looking back on it, disagreeing with you was often times misunderstood as offense towards you.
I agree, i hate generalisations, and just because you disagreed with him and suggested that your needs may be equal or even higher than his own, he goes off sulking. Its a pride thing, i think, him thinking he;s the most sexual being on the planet and nobosy can supercede (is that the right word?) him.
If that makes any sense.. lol
That's just as closeminded a opinion as the one we're discussing. Only men don't care if it's a one night stand because we have no responsibilites when it comes to sex?
What about STD's? And whilst pregnancy may not be as much of a resonsbility for a man it still is something most of us don't take lightly, because if any of us were to father a child we would be expected to pay for it for the next 18 years.
I realised a long time ago that being sexist is seen as being fine by society, and often encouraged and declared funny. I agree that more often than not it is wrong, adn can be offensive to those on the recieving end.
If I made a mistake at work and a woman said "typical man, always getting things wrong" people would laugh. But if I maid a mistake and she said "typical black people, always getting things wrong", she'd be fired. Surely you can't help being male as much as you can't help being black and neither of these things should be cited for my mistakes?
Not sure why society's view is like this, but it is...
Sounds like a right arse. You're better off not talking to him, you're worth more than that!
