I'm curious, what makes you so curious?

There is no such thing as a dumb question, I beg to differ.  The appeal of two women being together is marvelling and difficult to understand for some. Each time questions emerge about how is it possible, the explanation becomes almost like explaining a science project on presentation day. Everything has to be expounded perfectly so there are no misconceptions from the beginning to end.  Don’t get me wrong, there are a few genuine questions but some are out-and-out stupid and rude. 

I have compiled a few that comes across as irritating. 

1.     Would you be offended if I asked you something?

The moment that question is asked there is already a sense of uneasiness. If you have to ask most likely I may be offended but go ahead and ask your question.

2.     So you like girls?

Well technically I don’t, I’m interested in woman. What’s the difference? Everything; the level of maturity, life vision, communication and there’s a clear goal.

3.     How come you’re a lesbian?

The line to Men Land was way too long so I decided to take a shortcut and here I am. It’s not a question of how and why.

4.     Which one of you are the man and which one of you are the woman?

Is this a trick question? Wait a minute let’s flip a coin… head for man, tail for woman. That sounds so wrong and kind of sexist. One female is more dominant than the other but clearly its two female.

5.     Do you hate men?

No, I just don’t want to date them; however I do have some really great male friends. 

6    How do you know you are a lesbian, if you have never been with a man?

 Have you ever had sex with a man/woman, so how do you know that you are straight? Yea that confused expression on your face is the same look on mine when you posted your question.

7.     Can I change your mind?

How does this works? I wanted chocolate ice-cream but you persuaded me into trying the strawberry instead because you think it tastes better. No.

8.     Can I watch?

It’s not like baking a cake; and the last time I checked this is not a television program. Google is more useful, just search, click and watch.

Then the one female friend who decides to turn years of friendship into a completely awkward scenario.

9.     How come you don’t like me? Am I not nice enough or something?

To not hurt her feelings, you say something absolutely profound, you know you could be my sister. There’s no precise response; saying no is an insult and saying yes certainly makes everything uncomfortable. Laugh it off because honestly you don’t see her that way and also, you respect your friendship.

10.                      Do you want children?

Yes, when the time comes. There are options. If you meant without a man being involved directly…there are options. The thought of children requires in depth planning by both partners.

11.                      Is it easier to be with a woman?

Put two equally hormonal individuals in a relationship and it’s a recipe for destruction once every month.  Endless crying, endless fighting, endless bitching and days of the silent treatment, it’s oh so petty. No we don’t understand each other fully. Hell, women are complicated creatures but like everything else it takes time and patience. The gender in a relationship does not change the share of trials and frustration.

The list can go on and on and the questions will become more ludicrous to mention.

This post was done for amusement, however some of the answers were genuine from the interviewee perspective.
