Item #1,013: ram it through thick people's skulls about the realities of sexuality versus the myths.

This is what I received in my inbox from Okcupid tonight:

But if you're bi-sexual, you have to say "seeing _2_ someones", right? ;-)

My reply:

"Um, WRONG. Bisexual means that you don't people based on gender. You date PEOPLE. It doesn't mean I am dating two people at the same time. Whisky tango foxtrot."

I really despise the following bullshit in regards to bisexuality/pansexuality:

1) We are non-monogamous.
2) We will cheat.
3) If we're dating someone of one gender, we will "need" the other gender.

I don't date genders and genitalia. I date people. And I'm monogamous to boot. How hard is this for people to comprehend, and why precisely?
