Things like: 1. I don't think men are supposed to support me financially
Neither do I nor any of the other women I know. Second of all, don’t denigrate the amount of free labor done by women.
2. I don't make emotionally based decisions...I make them based on data. How I feel is always secondary.
Uh huh... sure you do. I’d say writing this screed right here was a pretty emotionally-based decision.
Men absolutely make emotionally-based decisions and women absolutely make data-based decisions. All genders do both.
3. I communicate very clearly. If something is bothering me, I just mention it with as few words as possible. (I find women just talk too damn much).
Lots of people know how to communicate clearly. This has nothing to do with gender whatsoever.
4. I hate the phone and try to avoid it. I have ZERO interest in talking for hours to anyone except maybe my husband.
I don’t like the phone either and I know lots of men who love the phone. It has nothing to do with gender.
[quote5. I HATE gossip. I find it nasty to not mind your own business and to delve into other people's personal lives. I certainly don't have the right to judge anyone.
Men absolutely gossip. Don’t act like it’s something only women do. Some of the worst gossips I’ve ever know have been men.
6. I don't spend money on crap like manicures, pedicures, etc. I can give myself a manicure and pedicure at home...its way cheaper to buy the stuff yourself and I hate wasting money. (and no, I'm not poor...I do pretty well actually).
Some people like being pampered that way. Men go to the spa too. It’s not a gender thing. Also, do you do cut your own hair? Make your own clothes? All of those are cheaper too.
7. I'm always happy and almost never moody. I find moodiness annoying
I’m sorry you’re so out of touch with your emotions, dearly.
8. I hate to shop. I only do it when I need something and try to make it efficient because shopping sucks. 9. I don't need to ask 50 people to fix a problem.
So do I. My ex loved to shop. Has nothing to do with gender.
All of these bullshit ideas are based on dangerous old stereotypes that need to go the fuck away.
I doubt most women are able to tolerate you either.
