Things I am tired of hearing

[On seeing me washing my lunch dishes at work]
"You're going to make someone a good wife some day!" (from a male executive. my ex-uncle once made the same comment on seeing me cook.)

[On a guy knowing what colour his shirt is]
"Oh, your wife has you really well trained!"

Because washing dishes, cooking, and fashion sense are all "women's work". What century is this again?

LOL!

And [livejournal.com profile] curgoth, indeed, sometimes the world is a very, very frustrating place for a progressive. Bravo to you anyway, for noticing; a lot of men wouldn't.
