Sissy, effeminate, etc. are words frequently used today to disparage gay men (safer than using the F word). To accept it as socially acceptable in some circles is not something I can do. Sorry, just goes against my grain and everything I believe in.

I have never disparaged gay men with the word "sissy". I sure have heard it plenty of times with half a smile to me when I would hold back doing a lot of things because I was and am a big sissy. I am not generally a risk taker. I am a tiny bit of a coward and another word for that is sissy. I am not the one who says "Here. Hold my beer". I am a sissy. This is a perfect example of political correctness ****ing me off.

Gracie aka a sissy. BUT the pen is mightier than the sword and computer keys are pretty good too.
