masculine condescension aka "is he for real?"
me (trying to make small talk): you're from montreal? a friend of mine from there says everyone's really well-dressed there.
guy: yeah! especially the women. even when it's 30 degrees outside, they're wearing mini-skirts. waiting in line for clubs, i really feel for them.
me: damn, that's dedication.
guy: i mean, i appreciate it, since they're doing it for us.
me: oh, really? for you men?
guy: totally, i mean, it's not like they're doing it for themselves.
me: maybe they're doing it for other girls, like girls they're dating for instance.
guy: yeah whatever. i'm cool with that lesbian stuff, but if a guy is gay, that's just wrong.

Well, they're probably doing it for other women who'll judge them and compete with them for men, jobs and status, thereby perpetuating male supremacy, but way to rep the feminist perspective, I guess : P
P.S. Wearing miniskirts outside clubs, even in the winter? How very unique to Montreal . . .
Well, you realize men wear long pants in the summer, and we get all hot and sweaty. It's really gross. The things we go through to look good...
Seriously, though, I think he was joking :) Clearly lesbianism is also wrong.
Luke, I question your assessment of the suffering involved in long pants based on the number of men who have derived great glee from informing me, in the summer, that they were freeballing.
Do guys really actually do that? I personally like to have an extra layer between Mr. Happy and the metal-toothed zipper.
(just to be clear, previous post was all in sarcasm)
"Cause i'm freeeeeee, freeeeeballllling."
HAHA, i really feel for you luke, and the sufferings of your gender. maybe you should ask amnesty to take up your cause.
and kate, i'm sure you're right about the female competition thing, but i think that would have been a little too much for this montrealean dude to handle at a party. also, clearly the dude has not been to boston.
luke...you know you want to freeball someday
wait, luke, did you just say Mr. Happy? wow.
i guess it's better than "Mr. Apathetic" or "Mr. Flaccid" or "Mr. Sadness"
heh. "Mr. Congeniality"
i LOVE "mr. congeniality." perhaps "mr. rogers" might be kinda disturbing...yet so apt.
