This is a question Sexism

Freddie Woo tells us: Despite being a well rounded modern man I think women are best off getting married and having a few kids else they'll be absolutely miserable come middle age.

What views do you have that are probably sexist that you believe are true?

I'm with ya!
We have a whole drawer devoted to tea towels. There is one permamently hung on the oven.

If I spill something on the surface, I am prone to wipe it with the tea towel. "Don't do that, it's a tea towel".

If she spills something, she may shout "Quick pass me a cloth".. I pass her the tea towel.. "Not THAT! A CLOTH not a TEA TOWEL".

I don't get it.. it's clothy and absorbent. When it's dirty, I put it in the laundry and get a new one. It's not like I have a rancid one hanging round for ever.

Best bit is... she IRONS them and folds them in the drawer!!!

She'd go nuts if she finds out I have seconded two for my own use:

1. I use one to rub proofhide into a leather saddle.
2. I dry my bicycle with one after I have washed it.

ah a kindred spirit then :-)
Glad im not the only one puzzled by the tea towel situation.

We also have a dedicated drawer, but im pleased with this as its closer than the little hooks theyre supposed to live on. means i can get a clean one instead of making the trek to get a hangy up one :-)

^ this infuriates the missus. i dont understand why they persevere though, just accept that its JUST a tea towel and we have plenty!
