Men Can Never Win
This may have been intended as a joke but some of these will ring true for most every man in our American culture:
- If you work too hard, you're not spending enough time with her. If you don't work hard enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.
- If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it's exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your butt and find something better.
- If you get a promotion ahead of her, it's favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.
- If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.
- If you cry, you're a wimp. If you don't, you're insensitive.
- If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.
- If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination. If she asks you, it's a favor.
- If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain. If you don't, you re a slob.
- If you buy her flowers, you're after something. If you don't, you're not thoughtful.
- If you're proud of your achievements, you're an egotist. If you're not, you're not ambitious.
- If you look at other women, you're an insensitive jerk. If she does everything she can to get other men to look at her, she's just trying to look her best.
- If you don't want to jump into a relationship, you're afraid of commitment. If she doesn't she's being wise.
