"I'll have some of that!"

Post Reply New Topic

Is what the middle aged drag queen & self proclaimed "BC Fairy from BC Ferries" parade float loudly said to me for many to hear as he pointed while he walked passed along a path at the top of Sunset beach yesterday after Vancouver's Pride Parade. (500,000 or so people in attendance.)

I wasn't interested, and my reaction was to just smile and say "whoa.." but I wasn't offended or insulted by the compliment, either. Actually, it felt pretty good to be complimented like that.

Just thought I'd share seeing as there seem to be so many here who fear public compliments for the illogical assumption that a compliment from a stranger somehow means you're about to get raped. For the record, I didn't get raped by him or anyone else yesterday even though there were MANY people complimenting one another or mostly just blatantly checking each other out. In fact, even though there were half a million+ people there, and many glances & compliments were exchanged, I haven't heard a report of a single rape. Strange, eh? You'd think with all those looks & compliments that there would have been all kinds of forced sex going on.* *If things in real life actually happened how some posters here think they do; but, they don't.

Happy random compliments from strangers, everyone.

When I started reading your post, my reaction was "Wow, what a fun day the poster had at that parade, and how cute!"

Then you started rantingly attacking people who had conversed with you on a thread more than a month or two ago, displaying a complete and bizarre misunderstanding of what those people were actually saying.

Your interpretation of the comments on a thread that took place quite some time ago is so exaggeratedly distorted, and such a 100% misinterpretation of what the women in that thread were saying, that it's impossible to take anything you say seriously. You are being utterly RIDICULOUS by extrapolating such bizarre distortions.

NOT ONE PERSON said they thought they were going to get raped following a random compliment from a stranger. That is not in fact what people were talking about at all.

You clearly still have ZERO understanding of anything at all women on that thread had to offer by way of more interesting information about how they REALLY feel.

You took all of their responses in an extremely rigid, black-and-white-thinking manner.

And if you're still so clearly upset, worked up and angered by that thread that you come back here to post this angry, weird, distorted attack on people for THINGS THEY NEVER EVEN SAID......then I can dismiss you right now as a complete idiot.

Have a nice life. You're not bright enough to do anything but have knee jerk reactions and a complete failure to understand the nuances, varying situations, and deeper subtleties people on that thread were trying to point out to....a moron.

I did have a fun day at the parade, thanks.

I didn't personally attack anyone.. unlike your post rudely calling me names.

I merely posted a counter thread to the many threads equating compliments from random strangers with illogical fears of being raped.

That comment would be funny during a parade,everyone is full of good spirits,it's all out in the open.But if you were alone on a dark street and a random stranger on a street corner made that comment,it could be perceived as threatening.
It all depends on the situation.
