I seem to be having some amount of trouble handling things with grace today.
So far I have: 1) Responded to self-laugher talking politics by my desk by putting on head phones (I wasn't even listening to anything) and looking over pointedly. 2) Responded to a suggestive comment on hubby's FB page ("Gross") 3) Gotten snippy in an email with someone who doesn't understand that I am not The Decider of Things 4) Gotten snippy defending downtown Dallas to a friend (WTF I'm not even from here, nor particularly fond!)
Why can I not just let stuff go today? I am hating on me right now.
Has there ever been a supervillian called The Master of Sock-puppets or somesuch? If not, there should be.
Yes, but he went by a different name.
Bad feminist mom or Awesome mom?.......I brought mac to Hooters for dinner because it was next to our appt.

Nicely done!
I say awesome, feminist mom.
Awesome, feminist, pragmatic mom.
At mac's age, I'm not sure he'd even appreciate the, uh, goods.
Also, what Cash said.
One of the things about the alleged nonexistence of bi men is that for ones in a relationship with a woman (the majority, in my experience) there's not really much upside to publicly declaring themselves. Such a revelation exposes them to just about as much prejudice from bigots as being openly gay, can hamstring their future attempts to date women, and the gay community isn't very welcoming to them.
I suspect that one factor in the perception that "bi is just a phase" is that most people, of whatever sexual inclination, tend to settle down with one partner as they get older. Monogamy doesn't mean one has made one's final choice, but it can seem that way. I've known several men who had a number of male partners who've married women, in part because they wanted families. I wonder if widespread acceptance of same-sex marriage and adoption might eventually change the overall dynamics.
