A male doesn't have male friends and this is femenism's fault?

> But after high school, I preferred to hang around straight people, and a straight guy won't get too close--because it might be gay?

Sounds like you have some serious insecurities... One of my best friends is gay, I don't think anyone ever thought I'm gay because I hang out with him, but if they did I just don't care. My mate is more important to me than some random prick's opinion.

Also plenty of activities considered manly and not gay are done in groups. Team sports are often perceived as manly not gay activities, things like hunting or fishing are also done in groups commonly and society percieves them as totally not gay, even after Broke Back Mountain. Men hanging out with other men are usually not perceived as gay.

I'm not saying that you are, but this sounds like a repressed gay man would be insecure of. And there's nothing wrong with being openly gay, but being repressed fucks people's mental health.

> I was subjected to decades of gender-based emotional abuse and so my relationships with women are also poor. This is a direct result of feminists and feminism.

Honestly pretty much everyone is influenced by the society, feminists and feminism are everywhere. If it was something provoked by a social movement as large as feminism it would hapen affect everyone. It would affect me, your coworkers, your cousin, the butcher, etc. Now I agree that social interactions in general have changed, but most people still manage to have functional relationships.

Sounds to me that you have some internal issues to deal with... Perhaps professional wouldn't hurt.

I worked with a man I'm pretty sure was gay, does that make me a prick?

Maybe ease up on the judgement there.

That's not what I meant. Obviously thinking someone is gay is not being a prick. I meant in the context where someone is being a prick about it.
Did you read his point correctly?
Did you?

Just the other day I had someone assume I was the husband of a woman I was helping out, I certainly didn't think that was enough to make judgements, nor did I feel the need to correct them.

If someone making an innocuous assumption is enough to for you to determine they're a prick, maybe you're the prick?

He clearly said that IF someone is a dick about it / a prick he just ignores them.

They very clearly did not say that.

I read it that the implication someone makes about him potentially being gay would only be an issue if that person implies that in a negative way and not just as an neutral observation which then would make it totally valid to say they are pricks.
