This week has been really bizarre. Particularly Thursday.
Probably not quite bizarre enough to publish in a blog… (I have bracketed the bollocks.)
[It’s not often that one has a viola exam, a talk with a Holocaust survivor and a leg waxing appointment on the same day. But I did.
The viola exam went ok. Foolishly, I hadn’t practised for it. That was an error.
The talk with the Holocaust survivor was fascinating. I was expecting it to be a thoroughy depressing experience, but he was very optimistic. One got the impression he was grateful to be alive. His grandparents were killed in a gas chamber, and his parents both died from an epedemic of TB in the concentration camp. Yet he and his brother survived, and they had moved on from what had happened to them.
Sometimes it’s a good thing when your school presumes you are so easily influenced that when someone (the president of Israel, in this case) announces that the Holocaust never occured, they feel the need to get a genuine survivor of the event to talk to us about it.
As I am sure you can imagine, the leg waxing hurt.]
Ok… I’m glad I got that out of my system.
As this is a MABTW blog, I feel obliged to mention something of relevance.
I like that fact that men believe women are less capable than them. It makes life so much easier. A good example of this occured today;
I attented a school trip with five others. All were male. We caught the train that stopped nearest to the conference centre (where we were having a talk on Oxbridge colleges) and I presumed we intended to walk the rest of the way. Yet because I am female, my teacher felt obliged to call a taxi. Just for me. Because it was raining. Understandably, I refused (it was probably only about 1/4 of a mile to walk), and so three people offered me their umbrella. I like it when things like that happen.
Male chivalry is good.
When females are considered the weaker sex, it’s most probably because they are.

So let me get this straight. You are a strong woman, but you prefer to promote the concept of women as a “weaker” sex and act accordingly, because you are lazy and want men to do things for you. Like you said, male chivalry is good. Women like you are the epitome of what a bitch is. You betray both sexes.

Thanks for the comment, fem.
I don’t recall saying I was a strong woman. And I am not lazy.
I would be interested to hear how I betray both sexes.
Are you always so angry?
