Don't think we've met face to face for many, many years; sadly we're on different coasts these days. I do recall that when I was younger, I tended to treat men rather like a stereotypical man treats a woman. Courting them, buying them pretty things to wear, and generally being the dominant aggressor. Actually that hasn't really changed; I've just figured out less subtle ways to communicate and express these dynamics in a healthy, safe, sane and consensual manner.
It's enlightening and perhaps a bit humbling to realize that I really didn't manage to get the message across, back then. I hope I do a better job now.
