“All Men Are Just The Same”

“Men are terrible searchers. All men are just the same. The bacon is right here.”

“Where did you find it?”, I say.

“In the meat drawer, where it always is”, she says.

“I looked in the meat drawer. I didn’t see it”, I say.

“All men are just the same.”

I scratch my head, incredulous that the bacon was in the meat drawer. I’m sure it must have been hidden someplace else. “Your comments are sexist”, I say. “I thought you just finished taking a class in sexism and gender identity stuff. You should be more inclusive”, I say.

“I’m being very inclusive,” she replies. “I said, ‘All men are just the same.’ You are all included”, she says.

“You are perpetuating gender myths”, I say.

“It’s not a myth if it’s true”, she says.

There is no chance to win this argument. Men are a disadvantaged minority. Perhaps, all men are just the same.
