Quote:I'm not sure he was talking about you. I think maybe he thinks I am stereotyping with using wife and husband? To me, it's acceptable as any other male term - Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Sir, etc.

 

I just went back and re-read the exchange.  I'm certain that he was talking about me, and "kind of" agreeing with you.  His comment referred to me asking if a "masculine" woman in a lesbian relationship was considered a "husband".  That is very much a "stereotype" on my part, and he does bring up a valid point (and here I open up another can of worms).

 

Does the definition of "husband" and "wife" need to be changed?  I ask this question in jest, but the "logical" side of me wonders about it.

 

No big deal, I learned a bit between yesterday and today.
