		<description>I am surprised, Mr. Neva, that you would use the offensive term &quot;mangina&quot;.  While there are men playing female avatars solely for the &quot;Lesbian&quot; sex, there are RL transgendered folks who have female avatars in SL.  I&#039;m one of them, as anyone who reads my profile finds out.

Granted alot of the Female avatars on SL do not dress the part of respectable girls\women you would meet at the library or starbucks. Rather they dress the part of a street walker trying to make a few hundred dollars for the night. When the large majority of female avatars start to dress respectable, not in thigh boots and fishnet halter tops, maybe they will get treated with the respect all women deserve. What really makes it hard for &quot;REAL WOMEN&quot; on SL is that so many female avatars are in reality controlled by men. These &quot;Digital Crossdressers&quot; have no clue what it is to be a lady, so why expect them to dress or be treated by one.

I&#039;m all about dressing &quot;mostly&quot; respectably, except when it comes to discussing skin. :-)

What are you retarded? I never called the Isle of Lesbos a Whorehouse. You people don&#039;t pay for each other. I called the Bimbo Ranch a whorehouse. Now &#039;Jane&#039; since you wanted to be a little blond moron you are going to be next on my little tours to see what I can uncover about you. I&#039;ll bet I find out you are really a guy. Lonely and depressed in your mothers house locked up on a little laptop and having dinner served to him so he doesn&#039;t have to come downstairs.

Then again I could find out instead that you really are a lesbian woman and are just blond and dumb as a box of rocks and run slippery slutfests for the same types of males as above. I got a story for you.

Years ago when I was in a MUCK (That&#039;s Multi User Chat Kingdom) and I was chatting with this one guy. He was telling me that he is absolutely straight as an arrow. Wouldn&#039;t touch a dick ever and thought that gay people were disgusting. I gave him a well known statistic. Over 80% of all &#039;Females&#039; on the internet are male in real life. And I bet him that the other people in the cafe environment that we were in were males. I reminded the crowd, that had all turned to listen, that there really is no fear in coming out and stating your real gender. In fact the only ones that care are the homophobes anyway.

A chat started to form until one was brave and stepped forward announcing that she was a trap girl. Slowly but surely and one by one, EVERY person in the group of about 30 with half of them all female ... said they were male.

I turned to him and told him that I would bet his internet girlfriend was a guy IRL too. She happened to be online. I offered her to come with us and explained the situation reminding her that this guy is litterallly falling in love with her. If there is something she needs to tell him ... Now is the time.

She was a guy too.

So since you are so dead set at being a lesbian, how do you feel about licking another man&#039;s pussy? Make you feel nice and warm inside? Cause if it does, that&#039;s a cock they are fucking you with. Enjoy.

Damn right I&#039;ve been to the Isle of Lesbos, but as a card-carrying male proudly wearing an erect prim cock. Of course I got ejected.  But if an avatar named Arnold Schwarzenegger walked in a dress and heels, wore some long prim hair and put some cleavage on with the appearance slider, he would get a pass.  It&#039;s all about hypocrisy on your sim.

You know why all you SL &quot;lesbians&quot; squawk like stuck pigs when you sight a male avi in one of your clubs????

The analogy is this:  You know you&#039;re at the game, having a few brews with your buds, and then the urge hits you, you gotta pee.  So off you go to the men&#039;s restroom.  And omg, it&#039;s a big freaking metal trough-like urinal with the men lined up side to side doing their business!  So you squeeze in to the next available space, looking forward, whistling maybe.  And god forbid that you catch of glimpse of the penises of the guys on either side of you.  And it would be a disaster if he turned and actually touches you somehow.  The horror!

I see women in men&#039;s bathrooms all the time.  They have no issue with seeing the male anatomy.  The only people who do are the straight guys (who make up the majority of the population, male or female in SL).

		<description>&quot;And gross, coarse behaviour *works*. Why? Well, most likely because the person that they&#039;ve gotten such vulgar chat to work on is in fact not a female, but a mangina -- transgendered as female in SL, usually without telling anyone. So they deserve each other.&quot;

Terrific. Stereotyping is alive and well in SL too. Yes...I&#039;m transgendered. Yes...I&#039;m upfront about it in SL too. No...I don&#039;t accept crassness....nor do I &quot;deserve it&quot;.

		<description>Machine, spoken like a teenager.  Which in your case makes sense.

Mooty, I know who you are and what you&#039;ve been doing all this time.  Not a fan.  However, your logic is impeccable.

Welcome to the intertoobs, where men are men, most women are men (pro-tip: half the self-proclaimed lesbians are really guys too - is there a such thing as a transgendered lesbian?), and the rest are I don&#039;t know what - and probably they don&#039;t even know what themselves.

		<description>I have encountered this first hand at my own sim. But I have a strict &quot;keep it in your pants unless you know them&quot; policy, which to put it simply: If you don&#039;t know them, don&#039;t hit on them.

Some people like chance encounters. 90% of my friends Don&#039;t.

The SL Males who still behave like this really need to mature. As stated previously, most who act like this are probably under age, an if they are of a legal consenting age, they should know better and try to get to know someone before they start to hit on someone.

However, a lot of these types of issues can be resolved with the &quot;mute&quot; feature in secondlife. I understand how some people don&#039;t want to fill up their mute list, or dislike having to &#039;ignore&#039; anyone, but this is the easiest way to squash the fly. If they come back with an alt to carry on or wont give up, tell the sim staff/ owner or anyone who is a point authority on the land/ sim to see if they can step in and be the adult in the situation.

Don&#039;t allow anyone to bully you or sexually harras you. Mute them and move on.

		<description>&quot;And to those who immediately attack this guy because he says he&#039;s a public servant in RL, shame on the lot of you.&quot;

No, that&#039;s great, but it doesn&#039;t mean anything on the internet. Also, every other part of his post made him out to be a pseudorighteous idiot.

		<description>I guess Steve01 could have gone for gold in writing the shortest article ever for the Herald simply by writing &quot;Be most excellent to one another&quot; or even &quot;play nice.&quot; In SL as in RL, some guys are reasonably decent, a few are complete morons, and I think every woman I know is more than able to handle the schoolboy comments of the sexually stunted. Suggesting that they need &quot;protecting&quot; may actually be as offensive as &quot;fancy a shag, darlin&#039;.&quot;

Of course, if you are a dear, sweet lady who needs the advice of a gentleman, muting, orbiting, or small tactical nukes tossed into the offending guys happy sack should do the trick.
