How did the subject of what colour your shirt is come up?

[curgoth]

Not my shirt. $GUY walked by his coworkers wearing a purplish shirt. $COWORKER said "Oh, mister purple today!" $GUY replied "Plum!", giving rise to the confusing wife comment.

[neeuqdrazil]

Wait... you do your dishes at work?

*GDR*

[poeticalpanther]

LOL!

And curgoth, indeed, sometimes the world is a very, very frustrating place for a progressive. Bravo to you anyway, for noticing; a lot of men wouldn't.

[kettunainen]

you have the best icons. i swear!

[witchicist]

Love, love, LOVE the icon!

[trias_cube]

Those are very sexist and offensive comments. I feel for you and the other guy for having to face such comments.

[marev]

Oh that's all right! Apparently I'll never find a husband since I don't cook meat!

The above was a comment I received when I was still vegetarian.

Well, you know how it goes. One day a guy washes his own dishes in the kitchen, the next day he's sucking cock in the company bathroom, and then the entire place turns into a corporate version of Church & Wellesley. ;) Seriously though, I think anyone who makes comments like that is probably terrified of anything they see as feminine, because feminine = gay, and we can't have Teh Gay around here! And so they make snarky comments to try to scare the male back into his societal-gender-appropriate role.

[kettunainen]

yes, oh so very yes.
