Re: insensitive friend question (sort of long and involved!)From: anon (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 31 May 2001 15:03:43 -0500 (CDT)
I am pretty sure that if I was having lunch with someone that I considered a friend... And I recalled seeing a guy ...say with no shirt on... That had boobs right there on his chest... I might mention it. I don't think that I am an insensitive person. But we have been raised in a culture that says it is out of the norm for a women to have facial hair. I'm so paranoid myself that yesterday at work I say a stray hair under my chin, nearly freaked out cause I can't find my tweezers and spent ten minutes trying ( and finally did) to pluck it out with my chubby little fingers. That is part of the culture. Now don't get me wrong. A medical condition that causes "abnormalities" such as this (or boobs on a man) are cruel twists of fate in the world we live in. I sincerely hope your friend wasn't trying to insult you in anyway. But if you think he is capable of being that mean to you then he doesn't sound like much of a friend. Think about his actions - it's one thing to bring it up, talk about it - even to say they make creams for that. But if you noticed cruelty, or him taking perverse pleasure in her pain then he might not be a good person to even be around. I think most people tend to talk about the unusual. Maybe because we are afraid of it, or in awe of it, or just curious and assume others feel the same way.
