There was a guy on the bus yesterday that freaked out because when I mentioned the song I’m Not A Man, he thought that I was trying to make him feel bad. He shouted at me and told me to stop talking to him, but he went on talking at me telling me that people like me are on the way out and people like him are positive. He said “Have a good day. See, I’m positive!”, and another man spoke to him, telling him that he had told me to shut up but that he kept talking at me. They nearly physically fought. When my stop was approaching I got up and gave a Morrissey sticky note to the man who spoke up for me, and said “I was only telling him that I like Morrissey’s song I’m Not A Man.”, and then I pointed to my Morrissey t-shirt and he gave me the hand signal for rock and roll. I gave it back to him just before I exited and I could see by the body language that the two men were still engaged in arguing. At one point the nutcase yelled to the chill guy “You’re gay!”, and he answered “I’m gay?” At another point the madman said that he could see it in my eyes that I was insulting him. His body language as he was seated beside me was very disrespectfully aggressive. Some men are such cowards, going around taking their frustrations out on women like that. The technician that shoved some toxin into my chest is an extreme example I guess.
