I've had a lot of experiences with women hitting on me inappropriately, but then I have a freakish talent for attracting some of the more...unstable...individuals who latch on to the idea of a gay man as this "safe" ideal man and get fixated enough to start to ignore the "gay" part, and can get pretty brazen and pushy with highly inappropriate and unwelcome sexual advances. But this is generally something that happens over the long term, and I'm just naive and stupidly hopeful enough to ignore the warning signs in the friendship and hope it doesn't happen again. It's not something that happens instantly with random strangers, but it still makes it a little easier for me to believe that women are capable of that level of inappropriate attention. I'm not sure if gender makes a difference there, though, as I've only known one woman who was sexually aggressive to the point of being inappropriate to other women, and she was my best friend in college. o.O;; Made our weekends a little interesting...
However--in LKH's case, I wouldn't be surprised if the women she's supposedly having to ward off are actually women seeking to have a conversation with her about their own experiences or curiosities, hoping to find support and friendly acceptance from a like-minded individual. It's entirely possible that she's operating on the same principle Anita operates on: to her talking to her about the topic is a blatant implication that the other woman wants to sleep with her, while the person in question is probably just looking for solidarity and relieved to be able to talk to someone about a topic other people reject--and they're probably entirely dismayed by her misinterpretation of their intentions.
Completely OT, but I keep meaning to say this to you every time I end up in a discussion with you on this comm or just see you in passing: icon love. So much adoration for Fang. For me she's half the replay value in FFXIII.
(Shutting up now. Why are my comments always so long? Oh right, because I overexplain...)
