My wife thinks anyone's crazy who has more than one KB. So now that I have several of them, she considers me several times crazier than normal. Any excuse to avoid me, I guess.
How many pairs of shoes has she?
I hate this argument. Not all women have multiple closets full of shoes. Or handbags, or piles of makeup. If you were to use this style of argument to justify purchases, it should be to ask the wife how she considered her hobby, whatever that may be. Maybe she collects pottery, or baseball cards. Maybe she builds computers, or likes antiquing. It isn't always about frigging shoes. We are not all mindless automatons out searching for the next pair of Louis Vuitton's, cursing our husbands for wasting our shoe money on his stupid keyboards.
Why do you hate this argument? Ofc its wrong to presume that ALL women collect shoes, it was a simple question which in most cases are totally true, if you ask a guy if he likes cars, he is not going to be all: "OOHHAA why do you presume i like cars, why did you not ask me if i like pink barbie dolls instead" What you are doing is calling rowdy Misogynistic pig
No, if I were calling Rowdy (whom I like) a misogynistic pig I would use those words. What I'm saying is that it happens time and time again around here that guys will justify their purchases by saying "how many shoes does she own". See, the trouble is that Rowdy (in this case) doesn't know the wife. He is making a generalization. Which I find annoying af, because this one in particular isn't any truer for men then it is for women. You don't have to look far, even on this very site, to see men who spend some serious money on shoes.
Stereotypes exist for a reason, sure. My point wasn't that women don't like shoes, it was these comments are unnecessary. You could make the exact same argument and not assume someone does a "typical" female thing.
Surely you can understand why painting an entire group of people with a very broad stroke can be annoying. And, as person that was painted with that broad stroke I felt it well within my right to say why that could be handled a better way. Should we all just be quite when we think things can be improved? I'd rather have a voice than never say a word.
