I actually find the terms 'female' and 'male' to be mildly offensive (no offense taken). I believe that the designation of male and female are for animals while people are men and women.

that is interesting. As I see it that women aren't necessarily female... nor are men necessarily male-- if you know what I mean-- genetically speaking. (in this day and age one can change the outside package and be regarded as a woman when they were born male or a man when they were born female) so I use male/female more in this modern time to show that I mean the ones born with the xy or the xx chromosome. but I can use "men" and "women" if that seems less offensive to you.

They ARE of little worth to me; perhaps even none. People with whom I don't associate have no value to me.

Wow! that is NOT how I look at people AT ALL! I see such value in every single being... such a treasure to the earth. I don't wish for anyone to feel sad, worthless or scared.(regardless if I know them or not) If I could I would hug every hurting soul on this planet. Every person has a story and EVERY story is such a treasure.
Riding the bus I look over at the woman in her nurse uniform and wonder how she became a nurse. Did she overcome huge obstacles- like a death of a parent when she was a child or did her parents encourage her to go to school and pay for it. And the elderly man reading the paper through thick glasses-- did he get his eyes injured.. maybe he was in a war..... does he have any family. The young mom with her two little babies..... what kind of housing do they live in, how did she come to have kids at such a young age, will she teach her children compassion towards humans, how hard it must be to travel daily by bus with two babies.......

I called three gay friends and asked them if they check out guys. Two are involved in a relationship, one a very serious six year relationship and one is a monogamous dating relationship - the last is single. Each of them replied at least 'yes' though there was an 'Well yeah, of course!' and even a 'Yes, who doesn't?'. I actually got five respnoses in total because two of them had their boyfriends in tow when I called.

Ah, as I suspected-- as far as men go-- one has to go out of the heterosexual realm to find guys that are comfortable with "sizing up" men's bodies ....in general they are more open minded and balanced than straight men.(IMO--sorry not meaning to offend anyone, just my opinion) Women are expected to size each other up no matter their sexual preference and have been expected to for generations.
I still stand on the notion that men in general(the majority- heterosexuals)-- believe they are above objectification and will not allow it to occur around them....their sexual attractiveness is to NEVER be questioned, nor is their humaness ever to be degraded by equating him or regarding him as an object. He will NOT be owned or controlled as "she" will be.
maybe men feel threatened????
maybe they have the most fragile egos of all humans????
sounds like your daughter is strong(within herself) and knows what she wants. I wish her much happiness
I'm sorry I've not been able to post "my scenario".... I'm having a bit of a struggle at the moment...... I will post as soon as I"m able.
best to all
