I dislike groups, labels, stereotypes, demarcations, in general.
So, naturally, I do have a measure of sympathy for your desire not to be 'pigeon-holed' into an identity if you feel that it doesn't adequately define you. Particularly being defined by your sexual activity - that which most people are allowed to keep private (if they so choose). The whole idea of it runs counter to my sense of fairness and, since it is of no consequence to anyone else, a person should be able to define his or her self and have it be accepted. Granted, that is not the world we live in. Best case scenario, a man who has sex with both men and women but considers himself for the better part 'straight' is defined as 'straight with bisexual tendencies.' Or, perhaps 'pansexual,' depending on the nature of his activities.
That said, I'm a little lost as to what 'feminists' have to do with this issue. Then again, if it's true you are not responding to women on this thread, then that makes it pretty clear.
