The spirited discussion in the dating thread reminded me of the following true story.
Once my colleagues and I ordered some pizza, had some drinks, and were talking about life. Then a male colleague from Peru decided to share his bit of sexual wisdom.
“You have to recognize,” he said, “that women are passive both in sex and in life. So how can you expect any equality in terms of rights? In bed, for instance, women just lie there, they rarely even move at all.”
We all laughed so hard that the walls shook.
At the end of the collective laughing bout, the Peruvian colleague asked in a small, hopeful voice, “So. . . are you saying there are women who are not like that?”
We had to reassure him that there are a few women here and there who have been known to move and even make sounds in bed.
The really sad part was that the Peruvian colleague was 43 years old at that time and had an adult son.
For at least a year after that, people greeted this poor guy with an invariable, “So has she moved yet? Make sure she is still alive there, man!”
