I have to say from the standpoint of a male that we get it too. I have run across numerous females that think that just because I am male I am fine with them walking up and touching me or sending me constant advertisements for their nude pictures on line. I can't count the times I have experienced women walking up and just starting to touch my hair without asking.
I'm noy trying to minimize the fact that this happens to women but I did find the characterization that men think that it is ok to say anything to you a bit general. Not all men feel this way and act this way. Many women also act this way toward men they just are less likely to do from across the street and more likely to wakk up to you and just assume that you are ok with being touched.

This is why I don't hang out with many straights. Every, and I do mean every, straight 'friend' I've ever had has been misogynistic and homophobic. They all think that women are flirting with THEM constantly. More than that "Oh dude, she was totally into me" comment after passing a group. Like every woman on the street is just itching to jump their bones. Their female bosses are hitting one them, they take classes because the teacher is hot, it goes on and on.

I would fight with them constantly because of their misogyny and they would defend themselves by telling me that I was a feminist because I thought it would get me in the woman's pants. Then when I came out it was because I didn't understand 'how a woman works'.

I'm starting to hate straight men.

After having to live with it for most of my life, I understand the pull and "insanity" that testosterone inflicts on males. The happiest day of my life was finally getting rid of those little "T" facotries down between my legs.

Add into the mix the cultural expectations and imperitives that are put on them, and I am surprised men can still function with any degree of "normalcy" sometimes.

I have run into the "you just haven't met the right guy/you will turn straight if I f**k you" mentality of some guys, and it really just makes me laugh, after I get over being disgusted. I have noticed that, no matter how many times you say "No men" in however many different ways you put it, some guy is going to answer. they seem to have this never ending optimism that they will be able to change a woman's mind if they are persistent enough.

Yeah, I get those too - especially since the blog took off. I get the gay guy solicitations where they advertise their "good qualities" like being able to suck a bowling ball through a garden hose. It's stupid and I delete them.

But in person I tend to get the crude, "I'm straight, but I'd like to fuck you just once." I think I've been hit on by more "straight" men in my life than gay men.

Absolutely.
