Women, however, actually utilize their brains when dealing with men. I know, it’s absurd. When a woman looks at a man she sees who he is, who he was, and who he could be. When a man sees a woman, he doesn’t see who she is, he sees what she is: a talking pair of tits. (Men don’t like talking asses). ↗

You know you’re in love when you reach out to hold your woman’s hand, without remembering that her hands are full because you insisted she carry all the groceries out to the car. ↗

The proposition that we should encourage wickedness and violence by exposing one side of the face to blows because we have been beaten on the other is too great an absurdity. ↗
