Things I could do without
Self-congratulatory, seemingly pro-feminist straight men.
“Look at me! I’m understanding women! And yet — I’m male!”
“Look at me! I’m condescending to sympathize with you! And yet — a penis!”
“Look at me! I’m listening to you with an only slightly patronizing air. And then –Â telling you how you really feel!”
Not speaking about anyone in this household but perhaps speaking of virtual people I might happen to come across now and then.
I used to date guys like that and then wonder what was wrong with me that I couldn’t get my point across. I mean, they seemed so reasonable with their caring head tilts, their concerned nods, their love of Tom Robbins novels. (Heh.)
This? made me laugh:
I’m condescending to sympathize with you! And yet — a penis!”
HAHAHAHA!! A quotable quote if I’ve ever heard one!!
Next time we hook up we can say it to each other and snort knowingly!
I was married to a guy like that.
