Can I be a guy, please?

Guys don't sit around picking shit apart because it might, horror of horrors, make them look like chicks. Do they? I mean, seriously, do they?

Do guys care that Sin City basically protrays them all as psychos, rapists, murders and bent coppers?

So far, I haven't heard this complaint.

Maybe it's just a more honorable profession.

eta: I mean, c'mon. Men on my flist! Tell me! Do you sit around gasping in horror anytime a man is portrayed as a stereotype? Do you pick apart movies and whine about how your characters aren't allowed to be well-rounded?

I really wanna know (can I go sexless? Wait. I like sex. Hrm. This could be a problem. Genderless? Is there any way to be from a certain group that doesn't act batshit insane?)

Totally behind rosewildeirish on that one.

My cousin is 53 years old, and has NO idea how to pump her own gas. If she MUST go to a gas station that doesn't have full-service pumps, she will PAY another patron $10 to do it for her.

She also doesn't know how to change a tire, or put antifreeze/oil/windshield washer fluid in. On the latter, though, it may very well be that she just -won't-. When I was eight, I asked her why, and she said, "Because that's not my job".

So, yeah, Lyss. On average, women are fucking intolerable.
