Gratuitous sexism of the day
Feb. 14th, 2010 03:48 amA lovely bumper sticker saying "Driver carries no cash - he's married".
Other than being so vile on more than one level, I was flabbergasted at the fact there was actually a woman sitting in the passenger seat of that car. Not that I really want to deny the ability of people to make willing life choices, but I really don't get women who would want to spend life with someone who thinks that sticker is funny. Or, god forbid, thinks it's funny herself.
Not that plenty of people don't get my life choices either, but still....
ETA: And somewhat unrelated, "never say never" has become a bit of a motto of mine, due to the number of occasions I've needed to backpedal on various notions over the years. I would like to say, however, I feel quite certain I would never ever want to be in a relationship with anyone who would be tempted to call me her wife. For at least two reasons. (Apropos of a post in SUID where a woman described her butch partner as such.)
