I bet there are just as many men out there who could say just the
opposite.

I know more than a few of them myself.


I can't imagine doing everything around here myself. I guess I got real
lucky, cause my husband is also a great cook!

I have an iron, I think. It's around here somewhere.

How about an ironing board?

I have both, but the iron has never been out of the box it came in and
the ironing board is holding up the wall behind a door. At one point I
thought I would save money by ironing my own shirts, but (a) I live two
doors from a cleaner and (b) work is business casual anyway.

But I'm set if I ever feel like a wrinkle-free grilled cheese sandwich!

I was not trying to be insulting using that word, and **** you
very much for saying otherwise.

Where did you learn what it means?


From my mother. As in: "A lady doesn't interrupt", "A lady waits her turn",
"A lady doesn't yell in the house"... etc... She used it to teach us
manners and how to be polite. A lady was something to strive for, someone
nice to be around, and able to handle herself in social situations. I've
never in my life considered it any other way. Nor used it as anything else,
despite Shelley's assertion that she knew in advance that I would use it to
insult her. I've never used the word "lady" to insult, and am flabbergasted
that it can be used as one at all. You must travel in much rougher circles
than I do.

I suppose I can look forward to you insulting my mother now.

Would she have taught a brother to be a lady?

Growing up, I was taught that it had specific meanings
around aristocracy and social class. And as I got older I
saw how it was used to denigrate women who were violating
social norms.

than I do.

Maybe. My friends work, too.

No, asshole, she taught him to be a gentleman. What the **** is wrong with
you?

Oh, for ****'s sake, Melinda, lighten up... It was kind of amusing, and
dog apropos.

I can't believe I stirred up such a hornet's nest. Here's my friend in
India who married a dog who was a real bitch:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21768663/

Such a sad world we live in, where a goofy comment can't just be accepted
for its humor. But those who have taken such offense are probably very
insecure and bitter, and feel disenfranchised or afraid of the great male
dominance cabal, and have become ultra-sensitive to the point of allowing
themselves to be offended and hurt by playful words. And they become
misanthropes.

And if one were to call them bitches would be a slur against sweet female
dogs.

What's this iRon thing? A new Apple device?

Hang up cotton pants directly out of the drier: no wrinkles.
Slightly damp is even better. Got wrinkles? Press them between
mattress and box springs. On the road? Hang them in the motel
bathroom, turn on the shower, and steam those wrinkles out.

work is business casual anyway.

My business casual is about as casual as one can get without
being arrested.

DH can have any iron he wants. He's the one

My sister's husband is ex-military. He does all of the
household ironing, is good at it, and actually enjoys it.
