You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: I think you are male.
Stranger: Are you male or female
You: Knew it. I am the best guesser.
Stranger: Congratulations
You: The best guesser, You just congratulated me, Do you not even care?
You: I can’t believe you. You are horrible
Stranger: I’m going to guess you are female
You: You don’t even try to see things from a different perspective. Why would you assume that? That is sexist.
Stranger: Why would you assume I am male?
Stranger: Wouldn’t the same rhetoric imply that you’re sexist as well?
You: All males speak like you do. You are only here for thing and – and it is not for jokes.
Stranger: Jokes are hilarious
Stranger: But if you told a joke, it wasn’t obvious
Stranger: And don’t paint all men into the same category. trust me – I know most guys have terrible motives on here
You: My jokes are doing funnies. I think you have terrible motives.
Stranger: How do you know your motives?
Stranger: I know nothing about you
Stranger: You know I am male, thats it
You: This isn’t about you. Why do you keep talking about yourelf?
Stranger: My elf lives in a closet under the stairs
You: Your elf doesn;t even visit you at Christmas because be is busy working for Santa because he loves Santa like you because he is gay.
Stranger: But your homophobic comments are hilarious
You: I am not even homophobic. A homophobe can do whatever they want where nobody normal can see it, but if they start bringing it into public where normal people can see what they are doing, they should be stopped.
Stranger: If talking to someone random on the internet isn’t public, what is it?
Stranger: Now what gender are you, where are you from, how old are you, whats your personality?
You: Random? That is private and just between you and me. Public? Nobody else would see this. Why do you want to know? Gender? I am not just here to slot into your chauvanistic slots of whore and bitch.
Stranger: You don’t me: for one, I respect women. To call a women a “whore” or “bitch” is obviously insulting and archaic. Rather, I how women to a high regard. So don’t call me chauvinist because I ask of your gender. I merely want to know.
You: If you respected women, and and as a member of humankind itself without being a macabre comination of oppresive penises and fannyholes, you could talk to me without enquiring about gender.
Stranger: How to you get to know someone without understanding who they are? Gender, personality, age, and location shapes who someone is – a shared collection of experiences. To really understand where you are coming from with your ideas, I need to understand those based defining characteristic.
You: Exactly; it is about ideas. Ideas are moulded by what we experience which is moulded by our upbringing (a.k.a. childhood/banana) and so if you really wanted to know about me, you would derive your biased ideas about gender and race once you knew who I truly am.
Stranger: How I act towards you is based upon what gender you are
Stranger: I know that it not ”new age” thinking and is conservative, but it is who I am
You: Then you are a sexist. I understand your prejudices are probably true, but even just thinking that truth means you are committing a crime in my book.
Stranger: I’m not a sexist:
Stranger: I would act less polite and kind to a man than a woman
Stranger: Why? Because that is chivalrous
You: Well actually you have fallen into my trap. Chivalrous is the very act of acting more politely towards a female (e.g. a human woman) Why is a women more deserving of respect than a man?
Stranger: Because I am innately attracted to women: of course I would act better towards the gender who I am attracted to than my own gender
Stranger: That’s not sexism
Stranger: That is biology; in many other species, males act better towards women
You: Males act better towards females (women) because they are just chemically programmed using HTML and a bit of CSS to do so. I thought you were supposed to be more than animals?
Stranger: At the end of the day, although are minds are capable of advanced thought and metaphysical understanding, we are still bound by our innate desire to attract the opposite sex
Stranger: Welcome to nautre
You: “The non-opposite sex” as I am sure you and your “non-opposite sex” would think, obviously thinks like that. “The opposite thinks” is more focussed on the things that matter – like shoes and Bradnon Pitts.
You: “The opposite sex”. Sorry.
Stranger: Can we have a normal conversation?
Stranger: Not trying to one up each other on societal gender theory
Stranger: You are interesting to talk to, but if you don’t tell me your gender, I’m going to move on
You: If you can tell me just one reason why that would matter – and I’m not talking about how you would act if you were a caveman from a hundred years ago or if you were solely driven by the desire to spunk up un a fannyhold – I would tell you what pre-defined gender I was.
Stranger: Because if I was in a coffee shop having a conversation with you, I would know your gender
Stranger: On the ‘inter webs’ that is impossible
Stranger: So in order for me to better understand you and picture who I am talking to, I would like to know
You: As I have previously stated which you would know if you actually listened to the important and seriously sincere thoughts I guessed, you would understand that gender is just a small part of what makes us who and what we are. I could be a young man from England and I could still think the way I do. It is not about gender.
Stranger: So you are a British young man
You: I am. We all are. I am glad you have finally seen through this façade of a character you have been portraying to see the truth.
Stranger has disconnected.
