Overheard at the physical therapy office: the therapist telling a patient about how his teenaged daughter is learning to cook. The patient says, “Aren’t they born with it?” Some more back-and-forth between the therapist, the patient (whom we’ll call Douchebag 1) and another patient (Douchebag 2), resulting in Douchebag 1 saying, “All women are born knowing how to cook.” Cue teehees from the others in the office. And then Douchebag 2 chimes in with, “Except blondes. They’re born knowing other things.” Douchebag 1 laughs and says, “Yeah, they’re born knowing how to use credit cards.”
Ha! Wow, wasn’t that an awesome slice of life! I am so glad that I got to overhear a couple of dudez telling us what’s what about the chicks. That was AWESOME.
And this is why I laugh and laugh when people try to tell me there’s no sexism anymore. Suuure there isn’t. Uh huh.
Anyone who thinks sexism doesn’t exist should have a chat with my father-in-law.
