And yet tonight I had another round of a conversation I've been having a lot with female friends lately, that basically goes like this:
"Why are so many men so horrid?" "I don't know! I want to like them! But they keep treating me so badly."
Maybe this is just an example of your bit about people being societally broken. But why do I keep meeting so many great women who've done a brilliant job of throwing off that conditioning, and so many awful men who've bought in without a second thought? My Kinsey score keeps going up in self-defense.
I still try very hard not to prejudge people on the basis of visible sex characteristics. I just can't escape the mounting statistics about the people I already know.
