when you're not a snowflake
We all want to see ourselves as unique and in some respects we are. Then there are those times when we're not. Sometimes we walk smack-dab in to the middle of a stereotype. Just last week I saw a woman (ahem) at the grocery store with a box of tampons in one hand and a chocolate bar in the other. Haven't we all been there? Well, maybe not exactly there for my male readers, but somewhere close to there.

Did you read this article???
Tuna fish on a rice cake???
During PMS???
Who wrote this???
Can you tell I'm incredulous by all the question marks???
ha ha ha. i only read the first 4 paragraphs when i was looking for an amusing link... but now that i've read the whole article i think it is even funnier. yeah, like the last thing i want to do when i feel like crap is take the time to open that can of tuna fish, find my rice cakes (considering i have none on hand) and curb that craving. screw that... i'll reach for my chocolate stash.
eyun, thanks for the nice cougar imagery. thanks for falling in to a stereotype by saying you never do ;)
Really, the thought of tuna fish when I really want chocolate is pretty revolting. When I want chocolate, I want chocolate. Last time I had tuna fish it did not taste like chocolate nor did it remotely smell like chocolate. Jeez, it comes around every 28 days, why can't I splurge on a whole chocolate bar when it does?
When the women in my family all went on a 3 day rafting trip, my aunt really took to the outdoors and was turned into a cougar. We had to post cougar patrols around our river guides to keep them safe.
yes, we have all been there.
i would certainly be willing to go to the store and procure said items.
i've also always looked forward to the time when my my wife is having some crazy-ass pregnant-cravings and wakes me up in the middle of the night to get pickles and neopolitan ice cream, and vegemite.
she'll probably make some cute snuggly face and i'll pretend like its no big deal.
but on the inside i'll feel like i'm the world's best husband.
*end chivalrous fantasy
***Glory*** ***Joy*** ***Amen***
So this is all you had to post on International Women's Day? I was expectig something different. Well I guess it's still relevant
vegemite is sick sick sick. lucky lady that gets you pulsipher.
medial, that was a classic laugh out loud zing. thanks. sorry, nothing serious since my brain is fried. i'm leaving this town for the weekend. maybe i'll get all feminista when i get back.
it's posts like these that make me come back again and again. I should start commenting more.
thanks life, i appreciate it. comment away...
