I think the operative word here would be "unreasonably". I seems like a real
double standard to me to feel it reasonable that two members of the OPPOSITE sex
can discuss the possibility of a sexual liaison, but if two members of the same
sex have a similar conversation, one might be liable to receive a busted nose.

I have no desire to have sex with a man, but I wouldn't attack anyone for asking
me if I'd be interested.... so long as it was done in an appropriate way and in
appropriate surroundings.

By this I mean.... for example.... few women would appreciate me propositioning
them at a funeral! So long as normal guidelines are observed by all parties I
think I'd be more flattered than annoyed to think someone found me attractive
enough to ask!! <g>
