Secrets of the Patriarchy, Revealed!

Today S told us that whenever a guy sees a woman in a dress, the rule is he's supposed to complement her.

Love,

Half sick of blogging

This daily posting thing has gotten tiresome. I've been planning on sticking it out to 1000 posts and closing up shop, but that's another five months. I'm not sure I want to keep slogging on just because of a culturally dictated fetish for base 10, you know?

RSN.
