Hmmm... I dunno if CannabisHappiness is still around... I noticed she hasn't posted anything since the original post back in July but I think I'll still throw my two cents in because after reading everyone's responses, I'm still of a slightly differing opinion than everyone else, though I think thecreator is pretty damn close to my stance. I like what he said, he seems a person I would like to know.

To CannabisHappiness, I get similar vibes often too, the 'this would be different if I had a dick' thing, and I've doubted myself so often... thought I was just being supersensitive, overly antagonistical, etc... but I've learned to trust my instincts. It really is the old 'help the helpless flower' thing as thecreator put it that puts my defenses up. Two guys can each hold a door for me, and I'll accept it as a friendly and courteous gesture similar to how I'd hold a door for a girlfriend from one, and from the other I'd take it as a condescending, old-fashioned (in a bad sense) gesture stemming from the belief that women need to be taken care of and coddled and so forth.

So the short answer would be a resounding yes, sometimes I do get the feeling that it would be different if I were a guy, and you know what, it's not just a feeling. There are men out there who do treat women with less than equal respect. So to CannabisHappiness if she's still floating out there: Trust yourself. Some men will never realize that you're not some shrinking wallflower and what's more, it's not a man thing. There will be women in life that don't respect you either. Us women have a responsibility to be more equality based too and try to refrain from passing off a male asshole as just 'another dick'; if we generalize patronizing men as being representative of their entire sex than we are being no better than men who generalize all women by one fluffy-brained, golden-haired female. All things in moderation though: there are genderless assholes but there are also men who truly disrespect women, and such men I personally have zero respect, tolerance, or time for.
SaanenGoats Reviewed by SaanenGoats on . Don't think it would be like this if I were a guy. Not sure if this is the right place but... Do any other females feel like they're getting ripped off, (in more than one way & in more of a social sense), because they're female? Let me explain. I've gotten comments like "Let me pack it for you" or "Let me light it for you". My instinct is to be offended. Now, I'd be offended whether it was a male or female that made the comment, but it's males (in my stoner life) who have been saying it, and I don't know really, but it's the vibe I get Rating: 5
