In this thread, self-admitted bull dagger DUmmy Neecy is curious about whether her more normal sisters, the collection of terminally homely and weird females who inhabit the DUmp, experience the same insults she receives on a daily basis.

A question for heterosexual DU women
Have you ever been called an anti-gay slur because someone assumed you were gay? Were you ever threatened with violence for the same reason? Is it common for you to have coffee with a female friend and have some cretin assume you were partners, and threaten you?
I've had a few people in the last couple of days insist that this is common for straight women - for example, if you turn a guy down, or a group of lowlifes sitting in a truck - but in my experience, none of my straight friends have ever been targeted for anti-gay slurs or violence.
I'm just curious here, because I didn't think it was all that common. But I'm told that it is...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6104133The near unanimous report from DUmpettes is that men very frequently refer to them as lesbos or dykes. Now, for anyone who has scanned through DUmp picture threads, this is not surprising. But one must keep in mind that DUmmies lie, all the time. If you stop to consider, even with the abysmal hygiene and personal grooming of most DUmp women, it's unlikely they actually come into frequent contact with men so boorish as to point out these obvious shortcomings.

22. Take a number -
the fragile little egos of some males just make some of us "must be dykes" just want to make love to them until they're dehydrated.
Right, ladies?

34. That's what I used to do!
My gay buddies - I was Queen Of The Fag Hags with those guys - and I used to go to some fabulous clubs in SW DC - they're all gone now, alas - the clubs and the guys.
I had the most wonderful times, just partied and whooped and enjoyed myself. And I've never felt so protected.
One evening, taking a break, sitting at a bar, a straight guy - yeah, there were some - starts hitting on me, but he was doing it because he thought I was a lesbian, and he was hoping to see some hot girl-on-girl action. He just needed to find two lesbians.
I told him that trying to find lesbians in a club that was all gay men wasn't a very good cover for him...............
Considering the age of DUmmy Tangerine LaBamba, she is recounting an imaginary episode at a queer speakeasy, during Prohibition.

11. I sometimes wonder why some guys' heads don't explode from the contradictions within
They'll call you an "ugly man-hating dyke" if you reject their advances or stand up to them. I'm always like, if I were a lesbian why would you think I'd be concerned about you finding me attractive? Hell, I'm NOT a lesbian and I don't care if some jerk doesn't want me.
DUmmy Hello_Kitty is an ugly man-hating dyke.

7. I've never had that happen...
But I don't go out much...
There's no doubt that DUmmy CaliforniaPeggy doesn't go out much, except to football games. Based on the frequent photos she posts, we've discovered that she's on TV very often, better known under her real name, Coach Lou Holtz.

50. I have been shaving my head for the last 14 years.
I have no intention of letting it grow out. I did let it grow momentarily a couple of years ago but couldn't stand it. I have had people ask me if I was gay because of it. In fact, a cousin of mine "assumed" I was gay because of it and because he never heard I had been married once. I don't even try to convince anyone one way or the other. I really don't give a shit what people think. I do know who I am and that is what's important.
DUmmy Jazzgirl is every man's dream.

19. Most definitely.
And if you are smart, self confident and in charge, this happens a lot.
I NEVER correct them.
