Well going through a Catholic Public School, I was once asked if I actually planned on shooting everyone based on the fact that I identified as a Gamer at the time.
ALL WOMEN ARE WOMEN!! Try countering me now! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!Vault101 said:
Gender and sex are not the same thing, therefore some women identify as men.Ninjamedic said:

OT: Girlfriend says I don't emote very much. Don't see it myself.
Also apparently I'm quiet, but that's only with people I'm not friends with, I'm kind of loud among friends.
I laughed hard at that because the same thing happens to me and I reply in my deep voice with "why thank you sir".Phasmal said:
Overall I think I've got hit on by more men thinking I'm a woman that I have by actual vagina having girls.
(I added that last part because there has also been some grey areas)
It was a sad day for my hetrosexualism when I realised this.
I quietly believe there is a god - specifically Christianity's take on it, therefore I am opposed to scientific progress, homosexuals, video games and new media, am a bible-bashing fundamentalist and probably have a boring, uneventful life.
I get that there will always be a vocal section of religious people who's ways of thinking are just backwards; same with people of political parties and agnostics, atheists, and human beings in general. And for that, I apologise on behalf of them, sincerely I do. But it feels like the whole world resents you for unobtrusively believing something they don't.

One of my former friends said that I only did weed once at a party ?to look cool?, when it was actually because I didn?t want to make a fool of myself and piss, like, 7 times in one night after getting drunk on alcohol. And yes, weed is less harmful than alcohol. I could?ve easily turned it around him by saying that the only reason he drinks alcohol is to fit in, but I don?t like talking to him anyway because he?s a prick.
Apparently I?m poor because I don?t wear designer clothes. Or maybe I just don?t care that much about fashion and wear whatever?s functional.
Also, my friends say that I have high standards for women because I don?t find plastic boring dolls like Kim Kardashian and Cheryl Cole attractive.
My mum thinks that, because I?m Atheist, I?ll lose my way in life and I can't be sure of my beliefs until I?m 18. Which is bullshit, and I probably know more about religion than even she does, especially since she comes from a sheltered background of conservative values.

I have been open to huge amounts of public idiocy due to the fact that I was in the Candian forces.
Story 1 - Hanging out at a bar with some friends, talking to some women when the subject comes up, what do you do for a living? my answer, I'm in the army. Her reply "Oh, so you kill babies." word for word. I was stunned, and just left. Had I stayed, I may have hit her in the face.
Story 2 - Again hanging out with some friends, talking to a girl I just met. She has no clue I am in the army but the subject of afghanistan comes up (my friends like to troll me and bring it up because they know how bad some people are informed about it) Her thoughts, "No one in the army even wants to go there and we are all afraid for our lives" I replied "Well, I happen to have heard that many people are eager to go overseas and help, and are not in much fear at all" She asks where I heard that, I tell her I am in the army, she shuts up.
Story 3 - Thankfully I was not there for this one, I was overseas at the time. Knowing that makes the random idiot here seem even more douchy. My grandmother was in a drug store shopping wearing a "support the troops" t-shirt. Some coward hippie douchebag decides that an 80 year old women was the perfect target for his triade of yelling and complaining that the fight overseas is unjust and stupid and the troops should not be there. If you feel that passionate about it, good for you. Write a letter, talk to your MP, stage a protest, I don't care. The soldiers do not choose where we go, or the reason for it. Do not yell at an old lady in the drug store because you can't get the balls to send your message anywhere else.
Anyways. Yea... I can write 1 and 2 off people being uninformed or idiots, but number 3 will always bother me, and so help me god I may have gone to jail if I was there.

In Finland, assburger is the new gay of general-purpose insults. Everyone hears it literally daily.
"You just choose to be depressed."
"You are selfish because you were the only child."
One of the saddest is being called gay for saying I'm not. What, would it convince you otherwise if I said I was?

Yes,you can define what it means to you. What you don't get to decide is what it means to others, particularly when you're in the minority. I also never said "everyone agrees" with the agendas. I specifically mentioned the loud, effective groups, in fact. There is an established presence and an established impression of that presence, same as there are for the aforementioned political parties. If you're not "in line" with that presence, good for you, but you're not a special, unique snowflake that people should assume you disagree with the ones who give "feminism" it's (subjectively) negative image with no action from you. You take the name, it's no one else's fault that they assume that you run from the same playbook.Phasmal said:
Exactly. That sort of crap is no way implied by the label, as opposed to the political labels above.Suki_ said:

I guess I'm lucky because I've fallen in with a group of friends who don't judge me for anything that I do and I don't judge them in return. Being a metalhead? They're cool with that. Being a brony? They're cool with that. Being an agnostic? They're cool with that. Hell, they're cool with pretty much anything. If I told them tomorrow that I burned down a church / crashed my parent's car on purpose / starred in a sex tape they'd probably be cool with that to. Though I would never do any of those things.
But I have been accused of being suicidal / Satan worshiping / etc for liking metal by some other people in my graduating class from high school. By people who only listen to club music and the Top 40 radio and don't have a bloody clue what they're talking about when it comes to the music I listen to.
I'm sure people have accused me of other things behind my back but I don't really care about those people as they aren't my friends anyways.

I'm not sure they understand that just because I don't want a girlfriend right now it doesn't mean I want a boyfriend. Its worse right now because formals coming up so a lot of people are getting haircuts.Petromir said:
Hooray highschool.
Think you're missing the point of this thread.targren said:
I don't care why people make dumbfuck assmuptions. It's just annoying that they do. This is what the thread's about, not about who is responsible for the assumptions (hint- it's the person not using their brain and falling back on stereotypes).
And anyway, as I said before, you can think what you like. I disagree, but thats perfectly okay. We're both adults.
