Or people who belong to a certain group, (i.e homosexuals) that are constantly expected to be weak and fairy like. And while this does add a sense of pride to the fights you win at the bar, it gets annoying, and it propagates from people who see stereotyping as a good thing.
And what's wrong with not liking labels? If you expect me to roll over and let you piss on my lawn then you have another thing coming.
Stereotyping is done for a certain reason: because enough people of the aforementioned group are like that to make it seem like a running theme. Of course it's going to be inaccurate; all blanket statements are. However, it's usually often enough true that it still holds some validity.
As far as homosexuals go, why would they be into men if they wern't womanly, to begin with? That's the one things that gets me, there. If they were masculine, they would only want to penitrate, and therefore would do best with women. The only reason i could think of for a guy to want only guys is some kind of trauma with women, in which case he's a wuss and needs to deal with it.
What's wrong is that it still applies. If you don't like being called something, then change yourself so that it doesn't apply. Otherwise, your label still fits and, therefore, you should have no qualms about being called what you are. If there's any indignity and irritation to be had, it should be with yourself, and not with what you're classified as.
