I look forward to seeing how this thread spins out.. I truely hope that it is read as I intend and not as a bash or a rehash of other topics.

Thank you,

1. I think it depends where One is. On a personal level, no. But I also think just because One claims a male ID, it doesn't mean society is going to accept that fact. I think at some point, One DOES have to move out of women's space, otherwise, it's just kind of disrespectful.

2. Give it to them? I don't quite understand the question. If you're speaking in a general sense, like...say...if it's a women-only event, I really have no purpose being there. If you're speaking in a different sense, like Mahhh Woman is going out for Femme Night or somesuch, I don't think she intends for me to be there, and I don't attend.

3. Yes...while difficult at first...it was really bittersweet


Good Thread Idea,
Dylan
