haha. waitrose 'essential' brand is great.

yeah, kind of curious about that mask/net face thing too.

"'Apparently Jamie is great at being soft and hard at the same time. Which is hard to do for an actor! He's going to get an Oscar!'"

"You're a Muslim, aren't you?" she asks.

OK.

Yes. It would not be my fault if I wanted to rape children (as it's out of my control) but it would still be wrong.

Yeah, that's probably true. Additionally, I suspect many interviewers are using it to create controversy and meaning feminism incorrectly and synonymously with man-hating.

"The guy is 33. He's closer to 40 than he is to Hutcherson's age."

You might be better off following the exchange I had with Zokajo where the same misunderstanding occurs (which given it's happened twice, is probably not me being clear enough).

From what I read in your response, you were quoting NAMBLA (the North American Man Boy Love Association)? And what they believe philosophically (that children can consent?)

Good point. I haven't come across many brown trainers I guess.

Hm. That it's subjective does not make it untrue, I think.

Cheers for the links and sources for further reading.

To my mind, you haven't come across as insensitive or insulting. This is precisely the crux of what I was trying to convey in a nutshell:

A fair point.

Homosexuality, bisexuality and heterosexuality are all sexual orientations. So I'm confused how you are not making a comparison to those by saying 'sexual orientation'.
