I think everyone should be who they are and not worry about the other guy.

It does not refer to failure to do proper obeisance and render right reverence to self-described "androphiles."

I never said that was part of it.

But men can have all different kinds of boundaries.

Everyones is valid..... to them.

And then there are generally-accepted boundaries.

Depends.

I think for the most part, straights can be straight the way they want to be, and gays can be
gay they want to be.

I think people really don't spend that much time worrying about how straight or gay
a person acts, other then the Mormons.  LOL.

They are probably worried about jobs, food, shelter.

If you spend a lot of time worrying about what someone thinks, or trying to change them,
you wouldn't have much time to enjoy life.

It would be a waste of time, as only you know what you think.

Take time to smell the roses.

Not really. There are indeed generally-accepted boundaries for masculine behavior in our culture. Not all men fit within them, but mostly they know where the boundaries are.

Well, we will just agree to disagree.

I have family member that wonder about my private life, because I really don't discuss it.

Some probably think I am gay because of some of the whispered comments I've overheard.

I laugh and go on.

Got better things to think on.
I could really give a fig what they think.

I know.

I do too!  Which, of course, is what androphile really means.

I love men to pieces!  :)  I'm all about the mens!  :laugh:  Seriously!!!  :laugh:

But I'm wondering why it is that men get to define all the terms.  If they get to define masculinity, why shouldn't women get to define femininity? 

*wild guess*

...Because their definition of Masculinity comes close to "(Real Manly) Master of the Universe" - and so of course master of every definition, by definition?   :P
