Exactly!

Especially when I get up in the middle of the night. Turning on the light just hurts my eyes.

i think this guy has some issues he is trying to justify. i feel manly and
1. i can feel sad. i can shed tears at emotional evants like a military service for a fallen comrade. i don’t bawl and i don’t let it control my life but everyone has blue moods. my friend just lost his wife and he feels sad as do i and we have cried talking about it.
2. i will hug a close male friend when i first meet him or when saying goodbye or pat a guy on the shoulder for doing a good job without feeling feminine
3. i carry a tote bag all the time because i usually have a notebook and a book to read. no different than carrying a map case in the military. it’s not pink and fru-fru-ie.
4. if a guy looks nice, he looks nice. doesn’t mean i want to have sex with him. tom selleck as magnum pi comes to mind.
5. i will sometimes sit down to pee because i am reading a book or doing a puzzle but that is strictly in my house and not anywhere else.

This is satire, right?

The problem is all those little angry feminist bimbo’s feel that if little Buffy can do it, so can they.

I had a woman in a checkout line loudly accuse me of peeking at her pin number, which of course I wasn't doing, and even if I knew her pin number I wouldn't know what to do with it. She was also a bit nuts, maybe a bit challenged. But I do confess that - if I have a choice - I often stand in line behind the best available female butt.

In theatres, I always go to matinees and try to sit apart from other people, men or women (except my girlfriend), because I like my space.

That’s part of it. The other part is I have a dog and two cats that follow me into the bathroom, and are very interested in what I’m doing. It’s a little bit crowded, I don’t want to pee on them, and it’s too much trouble to shoo them away at 3:00 a.m.

Someone like Boggey needs to smack some sense into him.

I’ll stick with saw palmetto and maintain my dignity and self respect, thank you.

This was not at all what I expected to read. I was thinking more along the lines of cooking or cleaning if it was necessary, or changing a diaper in a pinch. Or doing the laundry or dishes if needed. When I read the headline my mind flashed to a picture of my dad with an apron on. Of course he grew up with 9 sisters so I guess he didn’t have a choice! I certainly would be disconcerted by a guy who wanted to raid my jewelry box!!

I think I’ve touched a purse twice in my life. I hope to never do it again.

Last week I went with Mrs. Chandler to Jo Ann's fabric store. She asked me to carry her purse, which I did. Later she asked me to retrieve a sewing box from the top shelf, which I did. Unfortunately, after I handed her the sewing box, I forgot to pick up her purse, which I had set down to perform the assigned task. We realized it was missing a few minutes later, and a search turned up no purse. Fortunately, a clerk had found it and locked it up safely, so she was able to get it back.

She said she isn't going to have me carry her purse in the future. Darn.

-— Just don’t ever, under any circumstance, look inside and ask; “Whaaa. . .what’s THAT?!” -—

Thankfully, it’s never gotten that far. It’s like my wife put a hot coal in my hand. “Get it offa me!”

“I can’t count the times I’ve heard a man defiantly declare “All men are ugly to me!” in response to being asked whether he thought another man was attractive. Liar.” This guy is the liar. No one brings this up in conversation. I’ve never heard a man say this.

Same work, more pay.

Not in the IT field, blacks and women move to the top faster than males. They make the same or more than men. There just aren't that many women in IT.

Recently had a woman in the checkout at the grocery accuse me (loudly) of standing too close behind her.

A great comeback would't been, "But your hair smells so nice."
