Today, I was telling my dad about how I emasculated my guy friends because I can drive a stick shift while they can't. He said, "And you wonder why people think you're a lesbian." FML

Denial

Today, my dad has “accepted” that I’m a lesbian, but can’t seem to understand why I can’t just ignore that part of myself, marry a man and have kids, and never talk about the "lesbian thing" ever again. FML

Today, I admitted to my wife that I'd really like to get a Prius, but I was worried that if I did, everyone would question my sexuality. She told me, "I don't know why you care, everyone already thinks you're gay." FML

Today, I found out that my parents have thought I'm lesbian for at least a year. I now understand why my dad has been trying to get me to "hang out" with his co-worker's daughter. FML

Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML

Keeping up

Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. FML

Today, one of my dad's work friends came over. As he was leaving, he complimented my dad on having three "strapping young boys." I informed him that I'm a girl, and I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have a lot of hair and a deep voice. I guess my dress didn't give him a clue. FML

Today, my entire family thinks I'm a lesbian. I'm straight. I'm embarrassed and don't know how to tell them that I've been single for so long because I can't get a guy. FML

Women that can drive a stick is a plus. Was that dirty?

Manual is great for driving, auto is great for boring commutes. I don't get people who can't be stuffed learning a manual, but I like to drive not just get from A to B.

Good for you! I'm a female electrical student so I'm used to odd comments but for your DAD to take a shot at you is really low. I've always been the girl playing bloody knuckles, making dirty jokes, and just being one of the guys.. there's nothing lesbian about enjoying or being good at a "guy" thing.

I don't drive at all. I live in a city so I have public transportation + my bicycle. A car is expensive and those expenses carry on forever. If I were to drive though, it would definitely be an automatic drive. Why go through all of the trouble with a stick shift? I wouldn't feel comfortable drive it.

It's really no wonder your father thinks that. Your online handle is one of the Furies.

He's right op... Generally women don't thrive on being manly... There's really nothing wrong with it but don't whine when people make assumptions as to why you're manly. Also, for the record, being able to drive a stick isn't manly so your story was stupid anyway.

115, it's great you got to speak but next time stick to the topic. My point wasn't that you have to be manly to be a lesbian and the existence of cases where each exists without the other doesn't prove anything.. Besides, it's a general stereotype they rarely apply to every case..
