Why do I wish I were gay?
As a white heterosexal male I am the last demographic left who doesn't have a pressure group.
It's impossible (politically) for me to be the subject of racism, sexism, or sexalism.
Nobody cares (politically) about my views, and nobody defends me (politically). I can't be politically incorrected.
If I were to start a group championing White Heterosexal Male's rights, I would be called a nazi.

As for a pressure group for us for us white, straight males. I must admit it is a thought that has crossed my mind then I remembered we have all the power already so why bother.

Why? If I come across so obviously in my posts as being gay, maybe I am...
Incidentally Warrior Tortoise assumed I was gay until she checked my bathroom and found that I did not own any Jean Paul Gaultier shower gel. Apparently thats the defining factor. That and the fact that my wife's stuff is in there too.

You can't be the subject of Racism, Sexism or Sexualism. You can be the subject of Political Correctness, though.
What's good about P.C is that it's so poorly defined. Don't agree with a newspaper article/book/film/law etc. Then it's Politically Correct, an attack on our White Hetero Male way of life.
So be Politically Incorrect. Anyone who opposes you is Politically Correct and must be stopped.
Now, I'm a White Hetero Male Liberal. Who do I claim is discriminating against me?

I couldn't agree more.
For instance did you know:
Young White Straight Males (YWSM):
- Statistically earn less than women and people from ethnic minorities!
- Are more likely to be stopped and searched ny the police!
- Are more likely than any other group to be the subject of a racist attack!
- Make up a disproportionate numeber of prisoners relative to other ethnic groups!
- Will have to suffer the pain of 'coming out' as heterosexual to family and friends who may not be sympathetic, and a wider world is often not!
- Are more likely to die in police custody than other ethnic groups!
- Are less likely to make up (or be on their way to making up) the establishment than women, persons from ethinc minortities etc! Clearly, Something Must Be Done.

I think show tunes existed before shower gel... however, maybe before there were either, then just washing was enough to prove you were gay?
You're right, this is confusing.

Well... either gay or not English.
Maybe you don't want to be gay, you just want to be French... there's not much difference between the two. The French men all kiss each other and carry little handbags... and probably use Jean Paul Wotsisface gel de douche (hey - it even sounds French).
How about it - why not give up trying to be gay and just be French?

I am far better at co-ordinating colours than my wife is. We have arguments about paint which I usually win, and I'm usually right. I do, however, have little or no interest in soft furnishings.

Yes I am that guy, but I said that more for the purposes of exciting narative than for any real reason. The size of my penis is quite inconsequential to my political viability.
If there were a pressure group campaigning for equal rights for small-penissed people then it might become an issue. But there isn't. Oh woe.

Inner gay man? As in 'Do you have any gay in you? would you like some?' ?
My left side is quite feminine, but it's not highly developed. It's kind of a closet femininity. I always choose paints with my left eye, but pick up the tins with my right hand.

Look guys, much as I appreciate the constant references to my anatomy (and I do, I really do) I made an off-the-cuff comment to Erin after she equated the size of a guys nob to his driving ability.
From that small seed appears to have grown an entire cult. The cult of the small nob.
Now I don't want everyone to think that every thread I start must eventually come round to talking about my genitalia. This was a politically motivated thread, not a confessional one.
And anyway, my wife reads these things and I don't want to upset her

Literacy has nothing to do with travel.
I was making a pun based on the word 'Itinerate' which means 'travelling around' and 'Illiterate' which means 'Unable to read'
It was an oxymoron, you see I claimed not to be illiterate siting as evidence my extensive travel. Which showed I had misread 'illiterate' as 'itinerate' and therfore confirmed that I was, in fact, illiterate.
It's very complicated I know. But very very funny in my head.

But it's much more fun to keep refering to you lack of a penis. It seems to annoy you, which is plus points.
Besides. If we actually talked about what you wanted to, then Nightlamp would close the thread. The tangents are more fun.
CM has his eye on you, you might want to watch your back.
