Westerners are close-minded

Part of the interesting interactions in Skypeland are associated with the "clash of cultures" or civilizations that one witnesses on a daily basis. A lesbian friend was talking to a Muslim man from Pakistan living in New York who asked her, "As a gay woman, if you were raped by a man, would you enjoy it? " She said she would not. He claimed she was lying and became irate about her answer. She asked why. He said he had read a study that said that many women who were raped experienced orgasms. My lesbian friend pointed out that enjoying the rape and having an orgasm are two different things. He flew into a rage at this, and said that all westerners are close-minded because they did not answer his question honestly and because some are offended when he asks it. Ah...I see...
