You think I really believe women are the "weaker" sex? This is what I've
heard my entire life; I've heard it from my parents almost daily. To me, it
doesn't cut butter. The validity of the whole "weaker sex" idea amounts to
what I did first when I got out of bed today (remember that awful dinner I
had?). I'm not stating my own "twisted definition" there, it's my
paraphrasing of what I've observed to be a popular attitude. I always write
from experiences more than anything else (nobody knows my experiences better
than I do). This is my experience, and if it isn't yours, then I bow my head
in shame. You've lived a nicer life.
Besides, what's the crime in being a "self-professed" non-sexist? I need
someone to tell me I'm not a sexist? If I was out for mob approval, I'd be a
much more popular guy, a "cool" guy, as they say. It's juvenile,
teeny-bopper rubbish. It's not as though I don't have reason to think I'm a
non-sexist; I'm certain that my good friend Esther thinks so, and that's
pretty much all the approval I need.
