| "Because I say so" is actually the best reason of all, I've found. |

| I've heard that 'smelly feet' is actually one of the flavours in those Harry Potter jelly beans, but you have to eat a lot of raspberry and cherry and other such pointless flavours while looking for one. |

| She hasn't even got that right: that helmet's definitely from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Do you think I should tell her? |

| Surely you wouldn't sacrifice your deeply held commitment to the principles of men's lib, just to get into a relationship with a pretty woman? Because that would be shallow and demeaning. Wouldn't it? |
If she says "Because I say so", well, usually it's too late for me.
ReplyDeleteOh, don't give up, Michael. It's never too late, with a sufficiently determined disciplinarian. Sounds like she hasn't given up on you.

Caption 5: I think there are many reasons for a male to sacrifice his mis informed belief in men's lib. He has NO legal protection without the firm guidance of a woman. She seems nice, so I don't know what he's so afraid of.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ding. I think men's lib is fine, as long as it doesn't go too far. We just need some clearly-defined boundaries (and someone to set them). I'm sure Nata can tell the difference between, on the one hand, an honestly-held view that males can sometimes take on valuable and responsible roles in society and, on the other, impertinence.
