Things I am tired of hearing

[curgoth]

[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?

I get some of that crap too (as does tocityguy) but in a different way inmy case related to supposedly "male" oriented things or unfeminine things like lifting boxes. Because having boobs means you are incapable of even a smidge of physical labour.

BTW What generation are these folks? I use the excuse that the majority of folks at my workplace are older...oh and suburban.

What if I think you'd make a good wife without ever having seen you do dishes?

Hrrrmmm...I'm not sure what to say to that.

Let's see, how about you pick one.
a) Thanks
b) Kiss my a**
