I go to the YMCA for an arthritis exercise class done in the heated pool. Sometimes one of the men who used the pool or the gym will come into the locker room and parade around in full nakedness as if I would really enjoy looking at their nude and wrinkled body, which I do not. I know that some exposure will happen when people get into a confined area in which they have to shower and change clothes but there is no reason to walk to ones locker which is on the bottom and bend over while totally naked when their is a person sitting on a bench putting on his shoes.
I totally understand that such behavior is offensive and can be avoided. But that is not the kind of offensive practices I am referring to. I am talking about intellectual intrusion where my thoughts or ideas are deemed offensive to you yet you feel that your thoughts and ideas are enlightened and
should be accepted by me. I'm sorry about that but I have already been down the road where I questioned my beliefs, studied the alternatives, and applied them to my life and am sure of the results. It is your right to disagree with me but not to call me names and bring hurt to me in one or more ways because my belief system is different.
