I don't think you're being viewed that way, Sharon. I do believe in the sincerity of the progressive thinking and acceptance exhibited on this site. But it would seem that this same motivation to encourage each other has not fully spilled over into the "real" world. I don't mean to be condemning or accusatory by saying this. Just pointing out what I see as a discrepancy in what is a very positive effort being put forth here at TFP. Acceptance, tolerance, understanding...for who you are, warts and all.
Plus, I just take exception to women calling each other sluts.
