8. Off topic, maybe. But I always love one of the things lesbians have told me.

That their lack of interest in men means they don't feel constrained by the emotional investment hetero women have. So they can look at it more objectively, they say.

It was a revelation when I first heard that perspective and it makes perfect sense. No need to negotiate a relationship with a man.

As far as catcalling goes, my retort was to tell them to fuck off every single time. I can't imagine talking, arguing or trying to change them.

There's no reason to be polite or give them any time. That's not my job in life, since they don't know their job is to act like people. They're jerks. That's all they'll ever be.

Forget 'em.
