Convert me if you dare

With every passing day I feel an overwhelming sense of comfort in my sexuality and coming out to people. I don't feel the need to shout it from the highest point - I just feel comfortable enough within myself to say it's ok to be who I am. As my luck would have it, the people I elect to come out to sometimes tend to push the envelope. Push the needle too far if. Enough is enough.

What is it with men and their mindset when it comes to lesbians? Why do they automatically assume that two women will want a man to partake in their most private of moments? Why do they feel that women need an extra hand? Is it because their manhood has been threatened? Is it because they truly believe that women need that extra hand? Whatever it is, it is a bunch of crap. Two women are more than capable of satisfying each other - fully, I might add. Suck it up boys and realize we don't need you.

When I have confronted some of these men on their mindset, they instantly become defensive. They insist they were only joking, that it was all in good fun. Yep, sure - keep telling yourself that, I say to them. They instantly retract with, 'I'm serious. But can I watch?' Really boys? If you were trying to lure me back to your "team" - this certainly isn't the way. I don't foresee it happening anytime soon. And with your actions, your time isn't coming at all. So go cry yourself into a corner and find some serenity - because in the words of P!nk, it's just you and your hand tonight.

Of course then one deals with the reaction that is almost expected when you identify yourself as gay. It's similar to, 'you must need a hand in the bedroom.' or, 'if you won't let me assist you ladies, where might I be able to sit and record this moment in time.' It's mixed in with the male attitude of 'well, you just haven't fully experienced all that a man can offer you, so you can't truly, officially be a lesbian.' I wish I could say I am joking with all these interactions; but sadly as I have grown older and come out to more people, especially men - these are the thoughts running through their heads and to be blunt, their genitals.

I can see it now - these poor pathetic men, sitting quietly (some not so quietly) staring a porno most likely, where it's driven by the male fantasy and male hormonal mindset and parts - thinking that all these women need is a little spice. Sorry boys, we don't need you. We're women, we're creative, we're sassy, we're classy - we're capable. So close your mouths, shut off your dirty porno mind, quit your whining - it's not going to happen.
