Luke, here are comments I have heard from the females I have been surrounded by this week:
Men go to places like Bali, to perve at the women. When I suggested that the women do the same thing to men, I got a Pffffft, as though females have never had a sexual or deviant thought about men.
Women are not given top jobs, due to a boys own club, especially in the military. When I suggested that women may not be as interested in some of these roles, A segue into how Muslim women are treated was the response, as though women aren't given equalities in the west.
When I commented that Thatcher did the same job as a man, but in a dress, that suddenly made me sexist. I suggested that a comment was made about how it was implied that women would do a better job if in top military roles would make a difference just because they are female, when Thatcher didn't make a difference as pm, just for being female. I was then told not see it as gender, as though there is no difference, when the suggestion was that they are "special".
That males need women to keep them from being self-absorbed. I asked what a female needs a man for then and got no response.
That a suggestion I made instead of doing something else that was confided in me, suddenly became about me telling her what to do. It's like walking on eggshells.
A female cries because one of her students doesn't like her that she teaches. Heck, let's just all bring on the teàrs when someone doesn't like us. It's no wonder they aren't always taken seriously.
Don't eat the whole ones! Those are for the guests. 🍪
