It was a gorgeous, but cold almost-Spring-day. I took two friends I wanted to thank for a favor out for a delicious lunch. I was feeling quite satisfied.
On the way home, I decided to take my uncommonly dirty (as in filthy) car to the car wash.
There is something very satisfying about having a clean car. Once in its parking space, I walked all around it, marveling at its beauty.
Note to self: Don’t wait so long next time!
To continue with my remarks, I attribute this situation as one related especially to our generation, which formerly had the man working out in the world, while his wife was at home, raising children, doing laundry, shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc. When socializing with others, what man wanted to listen to such things? They’re considered uninteresting. Add to that, possible favoritism on the part of the man’s mother, encouraging that male to have a successful life in the world. Hence, what he had to say was “more important” than any female. Sexism laid bare. Hopefully, we are moving away from this scenario. To men: listen more; to women: speak up!
