“Just for the record, men can’t have husbands.”
Exactly. To be a “husband,” you need a “wife.” These terms exist in a relationship of complementarity, like “lid” and “pot.” If you have two lids, it’s absurd to pretend that one of them is a pot. And it’s equally absurd to think that two lids constitute a functional pair in terms of what they were designed for.
I have a file where I keep profound statements and “sayins”. Your post just got added to it. ☺
