3. The terms are not interchangable. I suggest not labeling yourself until you figure out who you are(Bi sexual might be closest for you).
4. The traditional role of men is the head of the family. Since this role is changing, this is what is leading to the break down of the institution of marriage. If same sex couple marry, one always assumes the dominate role. Gay couples seem to have less problems in their relationship because this is a given. Two dominates would never work, just as two submissives wouldn't.
I predict that marriage will cease to exsist in a century due to this confusion of roles caused by "Equal Rights".

1. Okay, cool. So, how does "the head of the household" fit into a 50-50 relationship? Do you think there can be an equal relationship if someone is appointed as "the head of the household"?
2. Have you lived in the Virgin Islands? Do you know about the culture of the USVI? How is the USVI culture so drastically different from US culture that you think I can't understand US culture?
3. Have you studied modern-day sexuality? Do you regularly have discourses on sexuality? Do you know what sexual fluidity is?
4. Same as #1, I suppose: how do you propose a relationship be equal if you feel that someone MUST assume the "dominant" role?
