During my entire career I have always been labeled as Napoleon with any group I worked with. It was probably my aggressive approach and the need to succeed. My colleagues just never got the concept and would just sit back and talk about geek stuff all the time.
When people ask me what I do for work, I always ask them what do you think I do? I always get the stereotypical answer. You must be an electrician, contractor, etc. Guess again! I am exactly the 
opposite, I am a technology enthusiast and I work in Information Technology. Some people would ask me what is that and I would give them my stock answer just to have fun with them. Information Technology helps people find porn sites that have no malicious data.
You don’t need to wear glasses or have a pocket protector to be a geek. In fact, some of the smartest people I worked with were some of the coolest I met. The stereotype of a geek is way behind the times.
Anyone can be whatever they want without trying to fit in the stereotypical labeling. It’s just like if someone is being flamboyant, doesn’t make them gay. It’s the same with any group that seems to be stereotyped, it just doesn’t make sense.
Yes I am a bull living in a geek world!
You sound kinda like a tool living in the real world
I stumbled this post despite really hating the following sentence..It’s just like being gay, you don’t need to be flamboyant, we get it, we really do. It’s the same with any group that seems to be stereotyped, it just doesn’t make sense.
There is no specific was of acting male. The idea that one must perform their gender is construtionist and limiting. It is further homophobic to assume that “acting flamboyant” makes one gay. A persons sexual choices cannot be determined by behavior.
It was not a knock against being gay just an example of the stereotype.
I am not a homophobic, I lived in NY where there are many lifestyles.
Deg,
I got your attention, and anyone can talk strong over a wire, right?
Thanks for the visit :)
See immediate defensive…I didn’t say that you were homophobic I said that your commentary was there is a difference. Living in N.Y is no guarantee that exist with gender progressive ideas. Rather than seeing it as oh she said I was homophobic why not just admit that the commentary was heterosexist and move on. No one is perfect and even allies make mistakes but it certainly gets compounded when we refuse to acknowledge that.
BTW I don’t just talk tough, I blog it and live it.
Renee,
That tough statement was for another commenter unless you were two people. I am not defensive, but worded it wrong and have corrected the statement accordingly.
Thank you
Frank,
I appreciate it the change that you made. Many would have left it alone or refused to publish my commentary and your actions speak loudly of your ideals.
You have to always admit when you’re wrong and I did misrepresented what I was trying to convey.
Thank you for keeping me honest.
Stumbled here and I will cast my vote. The guy is a total tool. “Hi, I am blogging on how manly I am, even though I do computer stuff.”
What an arse.
Yep, you are a bull alright. As soon as I read your post, I knew you were full of bull.
You strike me as the type of guy who expresses hyper “male” traits to conceal the fact that on every third Saturday of the month, you pop the “It’s Raining Men” mix CD in your oversizd lifted pick-up, don a pink chiffon dress and some cheap drug store lipstick to go park near highway truck stops waiting for your Mack Truck Cowboy to arrive and feed you your monthly dose of trouser beef.
Ok my little friend you don’t know who I am and if you did you would know I am the coolest of them all…..
Thank you for the support!
I think I missed something….I found the post to be well, Frankish to be exact, to the point and worth reading
Did you expect it any other way? Tell Buck we will be having a blast!!
We are going to make Macaroni salad.
