The greatest suffering I’m experiencing as I sit in the dental chair is not even contemplating the bill that awaits me at the end. It’s the horrible TV show that plays on the screen right in front of me. The number of gender-essentialist idiocies its 5 chatty and toothy female hosts have regaled the viewers with in just ten minues is horrible.
It turns out that men are primitive and incapable of expressing even the most basic thoughts and women are hypocrites because they never say what they mean. And it’s important for women to know how to manipulate men well because otherwise they will never take out the garbage.
Then the show informed me that men cheat because they want approval and women cheat because they want attention. The possibility that people might have sex because they want sex is obviously too complex for the show’s creators. Acording to the show’s logic, this must mean they are all men. But I shouldn’t say this so directly because that would mean I’m not a woman. And then nobody will be willing to be manipulated by me into taking out the garbage. And then I will just have to cheat to get attention from potential garbage removers. Who will cheat to get approval for their garbage removing services.
God, I’m glad I don’t have cable.
