Re: Response to Joan - week 6

Joan,

You're right -- when people see two women having lunch together, no one does a "double take" and whether consciously or subconsciously I feel that some people do when they see two men "out and about" together. Is it that we stereotype men unless their in a group and having a "business meeting", that's okay, but just two men privately having a lunch appointment, some people automatically think that they are gay. It's a mindset that people need to make an effort to either say, if they are it's okay and if they aren't and just wanting "male bond", that's okay, too! Don't you think?
