heterosexism Options

[eunie03]

I don't know where this belongs. I don't think it's humor, because it wouldn't be if it was about homosexuals. Feel free to move as you wish, or scold if it's been posted.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

1) What do you think caused your hereosexuality? Instincts, Society.

2) When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?Not quite sure of an exact date, but I think around 6th grade because I felt an attraction to girls but none to any guys.

3) Is it possible our heterosexuality stems from your neurotic fear of others of the same sex?It is a high possibility

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?Yes, teachers and society have an infuence on you, doesnt make decisions for you though, you do.

5) With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate continues to spiral. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?I dont think its more of "Heterosexual" thing as much as a Love thing. I just personally think that people are rushing love.

6) Considering the menace of over-population, how can the human race survive if everyone was heterosexual like you?It wouldnt, it is inevitable, I would think about it more, but by then I'd already be dead so I dont really care.

7) How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality and fail to develop your natural, healthy homosexual potential? You might as well say that my life isn't whole because I limit myself to just being a male. I believe that to be a "whole" person is just to live up to you own expectations.

I'm dumb. What the hell is a hereosexual?

[gelionie]

I'm dumb.   What the hell is a hereosexual? 

Heterosexual (adj): sexually attracted to members of the opposite sex

[racoons > you]

I'm dumb.   What the hell is a hereosexual? 

a straight person.

oh honestly.

[*disco infiltrator*]

I really like this.

I'll fill it out later when I have more time, but this is good.

[*mzkandi*]

1) What do you think caused your hereosexuality?
Dont know....my influences. They people who I grew up with that taught me was right (or what they deemed as right) man with a woman, etc. My religion.

2) When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
I didnt decide, I just became.

3) Is it possible our heterosexuality stems from your neurotic fear of others of the same sex? Possible, but dont think that is the case for me. I have to fear of the same sex. If I was lesbian I wouldnt deny the fact that I was but I'm not.

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?
I think we all take a risk of exposing our children to anyone

5) With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate continues to spiral. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?
There numerous reasons but I wont go in depth with it. I think the most prominent in my eyes is the sacredness of marriage. It like, couples simply dont try to make their marriages work, the littlest things will lead them to divorce. I personally dont think it a heterosexual issue.

6) Considering the menace of over-population, how can the human race survive if everyone was heterosexual like you?
Hmmmm..good question but I think overpopulation is dealt with in more natural ways; natural disaster, famine, etc.

7) How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality and fail to develop your natural, healthy homosexual potential?
Because I no attraction to the opposite sex, there is nothing there to develop

[*[Filp]Essence*]

ok i know now. gosh, why do people have to make it hard to understand, just say straight.

[Olive]

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?

Oh my, I never realised such dangers in the hetrosexual world. I will be sure to look out for the obvious signs.

2) When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
I didnt decide, I just became.

Thats a concept hard to understand in the "Are people born gay?" thread of the Debate section. Maybe you could visit and explain your experience of simply "becoming".

Thanks for sharing.

[*incoherent*]

I'm dumb.   What the hell is a hereosexual? 

in lamest terms, a straigt person.

1) What do you think caused your hereosexuality?
Being born that way?

2) When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
I didn't. I was just attracted to girls.

3) Is it possible our heterosexuality stems from your neurotic fear of others of the same sex? As in homosexuality? Well, if so, I'm not deathly afraid of them. They're not THAT bad of people.

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?
There's no set standards for teachers, so that's really not anything of importance.

5) With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate continues to spiral. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?
People today are just unsatisfied. They never get their way or they continually fight with their spouse.

6) Considering the menace of over-population, how can the human race survive if everyone was heterosexual like you?
Well, seeing that there are plenty of people that aren't heteros, that's not a problem, but I don't see why it wouldn't be if we were all heterosexual. There are a lot of people that don't marry and repoduce.

7) How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality and fail to develop your natural, healthy homosexual potential?
Plain and simple, I'm not attracted to people of the same sex.

Well in religious countries, divorce doesn't even exist...i think that only happens in "free religion" countries like America or other "free religion" countries...

When I was in Asia, all the married heterosexuals i know loved each other .i guess it really depends on how busy you are and your morals..my mom says the reason why people divorce in this country is because

they weren't rasied religiously and never taught morals and gospels from God.  all they know is how to earn money and get other things. But love is hurried in this country... they were not taught the kindness and such

at first, i didn;t think it was true until i found that in school all the kids that have divorced parents don't even go to church but the kids who still have well-going parents go to church almost twice a week.....

[*incoherent*]

at first, i didn;t think it was true until i found that in school all the kids that have divorced parents don't even go to church but the kids who still have well-going parents go to church almost twice a week.....

you can't make that generalization about everyone. my parents have been married for 20 years and weve only gone to church when we visited my great grandma and grandpa on easter. so thats about 4 times in my life that ive been to church and my parents arent divorced.

[/off topic]
continue with the hetero thing.

[bijou]

Thanks for posting. The level of heterosexism is mind-boggling. It's interesting how she used gay and lesbian sterrotypes to turn the tables.

[*FreeStickers*]

Wow, I love this.

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?

5) With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate continues to spiral. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?

Love it. I'll answer later.

[*not_your_average*]

1) What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
I don't know, quite frankly.

2) When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
When I started liking guys.

3) Is it possible our heterosexuality stems from your neurotic fear of others of the same sex?
Of course not. I'm not "afraid" of the same sex at all. I'm simply the way I am.

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?
Love that one. I think we just need to be practical. Heterosexual teachers are the way they are, and we can't change that.

5) With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate continues to spiral. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?
I don't think it's so much because of heterosexuality, I think it's because people aren't willing to compromise and work together.

6) Considering the menace of over-population, how can the human race survive if everyone was heterosexual like you?
We'll survive. Chillax.

7) How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality and fail to develop your natural, healthy homosexual potential?
Another hilarious one. Again, you don't necessarily have to be gay to be a whole person, and vice versa.

QUESTIONNAIRE FOR HETEROSEXUALS

1) What do you think caused your hereosexuality?
-Presumedly, I was born this way,  but perhaps taboo played a role as well. It's assumed at this point that heterosexuality is accepted as normal, and thus people typically do not actually experiment before deciding their preference.

2) When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
=I suppose it was so much a realization as it was an assumption that I recognize as truth.

3) Is it possible our heterosexuality stems from your neurotic fear of others of the same sex?
-It is possible, but I don't think it particuarly likely. As far as girls go, there is the expression regarding that girls would rule the world if they didn't hate each other, but much of that hatred is caused by jealousy over guys, at least indirectly. Thus, I don't think it's particuarly true- more of that we're drawn to the opposite sex because our organs actually correspond- they come together to form a whole, often times a whole nother life.

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?
-It's only disproportionate because there's a disproportionately small amount of homosexuals.

5) With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate continues to spiral. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?
-Sex has become so casual and accepted that viriginity is not so much a common bond, and thus it often doesn't feel that much more serious to break off a marriage than it does a long relationship. (I know that made no sense, but give me a break, I'm very tired and just trying to get off the caffiene high)

6) Considering the menace of over-population, how can the human race survive if everyone was heterosexual like you?
-How could everyone survive if everyone were homosexual? You cna't stop reproduction altogether- that would cause  the human race to die off far more quickly. Plus, if everyone were heterosexual, measures taken like those in China or books where dystopian or militaristic (I'd go int otitles, but then I'd wind up providing explanations and that'd take too long) societies and limit the number of offspring that should be produced per family. You can't forget that homosexuals often times find ways to reproduce as well.

7) How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality and fail to develop your natural, healthy homosexual potential?
-Most people never even approach whole-ness anyway. If you can happily settle with a partner, that should be all that really matters. I'm open enough to trying out a relationship with a girl maybe, but i would never have sex with one.

[racoons > you]

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?
-It's only disproportionate because there's a disproportionately small amount of homosexuals.

are you aware that that doesnt make sense?

[*disco infiltrator*]

STOP SAYING PEOPLE GET DIVORCED BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT CHRISTIAN. THAT IS NOT AT ALL TRUE AND YOU KNOW IT. STOP.


1) What do you think caused your hereosexuality?
Well, I guess when I was going through puberty, my hormones got all combobulated and came out with me liking people with Y chromosomes.

2) When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
I didn't really decide, it just sort of came out to be that way. I realized it the first time I actually had an attraction to someone and it was a guy.

3) Is it possible your heterosexuality stems from your neurotic fear of others of the same sex?
I don't think so. I have no fears about other females and I wholeheartedly support homosexual couples as well.

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?
I suppose it is a risk I have to take, seeing as not many homosexual teachers are hired nowadays.

5) With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate continues to spiral. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?
People rush marriage too quickly sometimes, and also, sometimes it just doesn't work out in the long run. I'm sure if homosexuals were allowed to get married, there would be some divorces there too. You lose attraction to someone sometimes.

6) Considering the menace of over-population, how can the human race survive if everyone was heterosexual like you?
Well, not everyone has to have a baby, now do they?

7) How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality and fail to develop your natural, healthy homosexual potential?
Well, you can't really help what you're attracted to, now can you? People always experiment with these things some time or another and my time will come for that.

[iheartjohn]

1) What do you think caused your hereosexuality?

Instinct.

2) When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?

I've always been, but I confirmed it when I was 16.

3) Is it possible our heterosexuality stems from your neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

Not for me. I fully support same sex couples and am not intimidated by the same sex whatsoever.

4) A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to EXPOSE your children to heterosexual teachers?

That's like saying a mahority of rapists are men. Would you let your female friends/relatives around heterosexual men?

5) With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate continues to spiral. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?

Because people fight. Men and women are so different that sometimes their differences come between the similarities.

6) Considering the menace of over-population, how can the human race survive if everyone was heterosexual like you?

We have reproductive organs for a reason. How can the human race survive if everyone was a homosexual?

7) How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality and fail to develop your natural, healthy homosexual potential?

Then that's just asking me to be somethig I'm not. I have no homosexual tendencies and I beleive I would not take any pleasure out of it.
