A bisexual woman has taken to social media to reveal how she perfectly shut down her straight friends for repeatedly asking if she "misses the D".
For anybody who hasn't been on the internet for the last eight years, "the D" is a slang term for a man's penis.
Sharing her story to Reddit, the woman took to the social site's 'Am I The A**hole' page (where users share a recent grievance from their lives and the community votes on who was in the wrong), to ask if she was out of order for how she responded to her friends in a group chat.
The woman, writing under the handle 'Extension_Ingenuity7', starts her post by explaining: "My wife and I are both women and both [36-year-old females]. We have 2 kids 5 and 2.
"Since we started dating 8 years [ago], my straight friends have always made snide little jokes about how we must be missing 'D' once in a while since both my wife and I are bisexual."
She continues: "Usually I've been able to just bat back with jokes about how the D ain't worth what they put up with etc."
However, she then writes: "I've noticed these jokes crop up when they've finished complaining about their husbands and I don't have anything to say about my wife."
Then, during a rather contentious Zoom call with her friends, the poster reveals that one of her them commented on their relationship by asking: "I'm so happy everything is great for you but don't you miss the D?"
Not willing to let the comment slide, the woman reveals: "I was thinking 'here we go again', so I bantered back like I usually do and said my we had plenty of D in different shapes and sizes at home, with a shorter refractory period and that they put up with too much for the privilege of having one attached to a man."
But despite many of her friends finding the retort funny, the person who originally made the "D" jibe told her she was being "crass" and "left the call".
"The rest of us stayed on but we were subjected to a flurry of texts about how she was in a fragile place and I needed to be more empathetic because some of us are having a harder lockdown than others," she writes.
"I pointed out that she was the one that made the D joke first but my friends reached out privately and told me that my friend was at the end of her rope and to drop it because it wasn't going to go anywhere."
Despite the calls for peace, the Redditor refused to drop the issue, and told her friend that she wasn't allowed "to bring up missing D ever again if she wasn't allowed to talk about it".
In response to this comment, the poster says she was "subjected to several more paragraphs" about how she was "evangelizing lesbianism" - to which she replied: "I just typed back that we aren't lesbians and muted her chat."
After asking the Reddit community for feedback, people in the comments section were overwhelmingly on the side of the poster.
One person commented: "NTA [not the a**hole]. I think crass to her means 'you're confronting me with truth and that hurts my built reality'."
Another Redditor replied: "NTA if you can't take the heat dont dish it out [sic]".
And a third replied: "Emphatically NTA.
"Your friends sound annoying - their joking about the D might be passable once depending on your relationship with them, but bringing it up constantly is disrespectful of you and your wife's relationship."
