Oh, and I'm not going to take hyrdo's list personally, because there are a lot of things on there that I'd say belong on the other foot, but I think that we're going to have to agree to disagree on that.
On the other hand, as a woman, I can say the following:
1. I don't want a female president. I suppose for a number of reasons but a couple of em are that:
a) No matter what anyone tells you, there's only 2 things you can call a woman that you don't know (this doesn't include for instance a husband calling his wife the 'C' word because that's a different scenerio) that will actually 100% piss her off, and that's fat or ugly. And once those words get thrown around there's really no telling what can happen and seeing as how most of the middle east hates women anyway.....
b) A women president would spend her entire term trying to prove that she is just as competent as a man (which is possible, but proving such a thing would most certainly get in the way of effective governing). This means that even if something IS the right decision to make, a fear of coming off 'too soft' or something like that, would keep her from doing it...even if a man WOULD do the exact same thing. I certainly don't want those 4 years to be spent on anything other than effectively governing our country and protecting it's citizens.
2. Sure we read deeply into things, and it works both for and against you men...for instance, if you happen to remember that say our sister's birthday is on October 26, we think, 'OMG, how cute is he that remembered my sister's birthday!!! I'm so rewarding him with a threesome tonight!' When in reality, the only reason you remember it is because that was the day your beloved White Sox won the world series and you weren't there to witness it because you were out to dinner to celebrate her sister's birthday and missed the end of the game by 2 minutes... These are things you should keep to yourself and go with it because you'll end up looking like a hero and you'll get sex and stuff, and if you tell her why you ACTUALLY remembered it, 'Yeah, I remember cause you guys made me miss like the best moment in my sports fan career', well, not only will you not get sex, but most likely this will lead to an argument where she is going to accuse you of being an asshole and not caring about her sister and only caring about himself, yada yada yada....so you see, sometimes we read deeply, but it benefits you too.
and that concludes today's lessons on love from Lauren
P.S. I'm heading to Vegas in 12 hours. Not that that has any relevance to this post or thread, but I'm excited and felt the need to share
