Today, I was telling my dad about how I emasculated my guy friends because I can drive a stick shift while they can't. He said, "And you wonder why people think you're a lesbian." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom tried to convince my dad that I was a lesbian. Why? Because she was bored. FML
Today, my dad has “accepted” that I’m a lesbian, but can’t seem to understand why I can’t just ignore that part of myself, marry a man and have kids, and never talk about the "lesbian thing" ever again. FML
Today, I admitted to my wife that I'd really like to get a Prius, but I was worried that if I did, everyone would question my sexuality. She told me, "I don't know why you care, everyone already thinks you're gay." FML
Today, I found out that my parents have thought I'm lesbian for at least a year. I now understand why my dad has been trying to get me to "hang out" with his co-worker's daughter. FML
Today, I came out of the closet. Now whenever I'm getting ready to go somewhere with my dad he says, "Lesgo, lesbo." FML
Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. FML
Today, one of my dad's work friends came over. As he was leaving, he complimented my dad on having three "strapping young boys." I informed him that I'm a girl, and I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have a lot of hair and a deep voice. I guess my dress didn't give him a clue. FML
Today, my entire family thinks I'm a lesbian. I'm straight. I'm embarrassed and don't know how to tell them that I've been single for so long because I can't get a guy. FML
Today, I went for a drive with my boyfriend and his dad. His dad was kind enough to point out at every opportunity girls "that would be better for him than me." FML

Women that can drive a stick is a plus. Was that dirty?

I'd think a girl who knows how to work a stick would be less of a lesbian...?

What does driving stick have to do with being a lesbian? I've been driving stick since I was thirteen (I grew up on a farm) and I'm married with a baby. I do understand how guys that can't drive stick can feel emasculated by it though. I taught my first 3 boyfriends how to drive stick, and once any of their friends found out I taught them, they gave him hell. secretly that always made me laugh. :)

OP, YDI for a) Implying that women can't do "male" things. There's nothing about being female that would prevent you from driving stick-shift, and you're not special for doing so. b) Shaming your male friends for not having every little ability that our culture deems "masculine". Whether or not you drive stick shift has absolutely nothing to do with being a man, there was nothing "emasculating" about that situation. You're sexist OP. Although honestly I'm not surprised you're so ignorant if your dad thinks that driving stick-shift makes you a lesbian, and thinks that calling someone a lesbian is an insult.

obviously your dad thinks you're a lesbian because you were bragging about emasculation...which means "to remove both the penis & testicles" therefore making a man, into a woman...I'd think the same if my girl was bragging about de-genitalization of her "guy" friends... you need more "girl" friends who can teach you to be a "lady" rather than acting like a "man hating" dike. sorry but YDI.

Her father's point is, she takes joy in "emasculating" her male friends. If people are wondering about her sexuality, perhaps her attitude might be one reason why. And I ought to know: I'm the father who made the comment.
