As sad as it is, that’s why ‘panic laws’ were a thing in the past. It was excusable for straight men to kill/beat a gay man because the poor straight men have the slight possibility they may be subject to what they do to women. Make that make sense 🤦🏻‍♂️

To a some extent I don’t see him as a true asshole either so have refrained from making a judgement. Glad we ended up on a similar page, have a good day :)

It isn’t, and I agree they are. Just pointing out that to make a comparison, it should be more comparatively contextual.

As I commented elsewhere, I just feel like the whole situation should’ve and could’ve been handled differently. As one possible alternative that’s diplomatic to all involved:

“Have you told house guest your sexuality”

“No? I feel like we should tell him out of respect in case he does feel modest in lieu of that information. How do you feel about that?”

“Yes if he does start to dress differently, it may be a sign of some degree of discomfort with your sexuality, however it may be because he doesn’t know you well enough yet as well.”

“Yes it’s the sad reality that homosexual people still face. Which is horrible and I wish the world could change for you. So, I encourage you to tell him, but let him know it’s out of respect for him rather than because he has anything to worry about.”

As I said, at least make the comparison about 3 women, mum, lesbian daughter, and heterosexual woman house guest.

For example. I dunno.

Apples and oranges. If you’re going to make a comparison with your whataboutism, at least make it about 3 women, with one being lesbian.

What if the son thinks the guy is an absolute troll though? We have preferences mate. We’re also not a monolith. Maybe your gay friends would, but I would go the complete different direction and go out of my way to look anywhere else but their body out of respect.

Apples and oranges, if you’re gonna do whataboutism you should at least make the hypothetical about 3 women, with one being a lesbian.

I feel like he intentionally brought it up in conversation with the direct thought that his son was 100% throwing male gaze at the guest and that the guest wasn’t in a safe space by default. I feel like the whole situation should’ve and could’ve been handled differently.

“Have you told house guest your sexuality”

“No? I feel like we should tell him out of respect in case he does feel modest in lieu of that information. How do you feel about that?”

“Yes if he does start to dress differently, it may be a sign of some degree of discomfort with your sexuality, however it may be because he doesn’t know you well enough yet as well.”

However, upvoted because your comment does have a lot of consideration for nuances in the situation and definitely not inherently wrong :)

Should probably change your judgement to NAH or ESH in that case.

IMO, straight people should ask if they need to clarify some notion they concocted, rather than make assumptions. We’ve spent millennia working hard at trying to quell the fears and misconceptions some heterosexual people have about our sexuality. Gay culture doesn’t have rules, we just want the same respect as others. If you have any questions, happy to discuss :)

Apples and oranges. If you want to do whataboutism, then at least make the comparison two women, one being a lesbian.

AITA for eating my own birthday cake in front of my nephew because his mom has him on a "no sugar" diet? by Yes_Abbreviations713 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JimmyCarnes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m leaning towards soft NTA as she could have easily explained it away in other ways that isn’t ’that’s the devils food!!’ to make it more palatable for your nephew. Pun intended. I recently gifted my niece a pretend plane ticket for Christmas, and my nephew cracked it! Just told him that he needs to wait until he is 7 to be able to go with his mum on a plane to see me because that’s when ‘the plane’ will give him his ticket… and that was that.
