Things I do that girls don’t do, or so we’re led to believe

I got this courtesy of Smitten.

1. I'm with Smitten on the laundry thing. I could care less about some strange guy fondling my panties. If he has the time, and cleans them afterwards, he is welcome to have fun with everything but the La Perla.

2.I'm not friends with other women. I tend to get a long with men better.

3. When a bunch of chicks get together and suddenly start talking for half an hour about their shoes, I feel like I am on the set of the remake of the Stepford Wives.

4.I love comic books even Vampirella.

5. I like a lot of "angry male" writers particular those accused of misogyny including Philip Roth, August Strindberg, Don Dellilo, John Updike, Nicholson Baker, Will Self, and Saul Bellow.

6. I hate traditional "female" writers esp. victorian ones like Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. ( Honestly I'm not fond of anything from the Victorian era, although Lady Audley's Secret by Elizabeth Braddon is a riot.)

7. I have no problem talking frankly about sex with men. In fact, I prefer it to women and their "romanticization" of a biological imperative.

8.I often cringe when I see children.

9.There are days I love lolling around my apartment in my pjs and not showering.

10.I hate cleaning, and I am not good at it.

11.I hate weddings. All of them.

12. I've never done the "let's get together and have facials" night.

13. I watch porn ( and enjoy it).

14. I hate "chick flicks" and never watch them. ( no Boys on the Side, Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Waiting to Exhale, Fried Green Tomatoes-the closest I get is Thelma and Louise)

I'm sure there are more, particularly concerning my attitude towards sex, but this seems to be a decent list. Actually I expected it to be longer. I'm curious how many of these are gender role "myths" so feel free to play along and post yours in the comments box or post on your blog.
