I'm going to pretend that you didn't read the part where I said I was cruised, not mugged. I have a limited experience being mugged, but informed persons tell me the process is usually not kicked off by an offer of oral. If it were, Sidd would be vacationing in Detroit instead of Vegas.
The second half of this is such a collossal misdirection, it's easy to be distracted from the wrongness of the first half. I don't hang out with paranoid chicks. I do, however, know several women who have been subjected to some kind of incohate sexual assault. In most cases it began as a consensual encounter where she decided the line was one place and the guy decided it was another. In the cases I have in mind, the guy got fought off, but not without leaving the woman feeling violated anyway. While this is not the kind of rape that underlies homosexual panic, when it happens it is a chilling and unbelievably common reminder to women that sexual contact can wind up out of their control. When men experience that kind of reminder, it's completely irrational, but just as sincere.
Yeah, that's a real coherent reason why guys like TO often literally back away from people they're told are gay. It's because you don't want to be physically proximate to something that is the opposite of everything manhood encompasses.
You are a jackass.

You are effectively saying that women are always cognizant of, or to a certain degree, afraid of, being assaulted or pressured during any sexual or flirtatious encounter. I say rubbish, poppycock, balderdash... whatever the sort of mind that would conjur such a Rube Goldberg explanation as the one you've offered for TO's much more easily explained behavior would harrumph.
Its all about the fragile male ego. People like TO are so tied to their perceived masculinity and the stereotypes for what proves such masculinity that they can't deal with the reverse shoved in their face. Its just like when your crotchety old uncle gripes that Will & Grace sucks because its "full of queers." I believe Freud was on the mark - people get very chaffed when you challenge their sexual identities or their notions of the proper sexual identities of those around them.
To suggest that someone like TO is somehow physically threatened by homosexuals on some primordial level is comical. I don't need to explain why. The man clearly isn't threatened by anything physical.
Stated otherwise, your theory is, in a nutshell, that gays make people like TO feel like women. If you really believe that, you're nuts.
