I Hate Double Standards

I don't have time this morning, so somebody PLEASE remind me to rant about this article later:

Article Here

In the first paragraph, the article talks about "Closet Space."

"It's okay to stash emergency tampons in your man's medicine cabinet. But if you start staking out his closet, he'll feel like it's a full-scale space invasion. Take it from Reggie, 29: 'The commute to my girl's office is easier for her from my apartment, so she started staying over during the week," he explains. "The arrangement was cool until she began to keep more and more stuff at my place. Before I knew it, her dry cleaning was taking up half my closet. I said she could leave a few things, not move in!' "

Now, that, I am OK with. This is a common courtesy thing that everyone needs to respect. It's like if I go to TS's house every once in a while, but start going so often that I decide to keep my bird, fish, and computer (the latter, she probably wouldn't mind) at her house. Then, I started leaving all of my school outfits there and underwear and the like got mixed up.

Yuck. Next subject.

For a while, I didn't really think too much on the second one. Then, I got around to actually digesting it, and realized how much it pissed me off:

"I dated a girl who straightened my apartment every time she came over," he says. "The day she headed toward my bedroom with a vacuum and dust rag, I had flashbacks of my mother pulling my porn stash from underneath my unmade bed when I was 15. Not a good visual!"

Seriously?! Your girlfriend is fucking cleaning up after you and all you can think about is your mom?! There's another comment in parenthesis about a French maid costume which I won't post here. You're lucky she's cleaning up and not nagging you 24/7 about your fucking pig sty. What a load of bull.

And besides, if you're stupid enough to hide pornography in a place so obvious as under the bed, you deserve to have someone come in and find it. For that matter, you're lucky your mom even cleaned up after you, you dumb swine.

The third one is disgusting. Who the fuck would ever want to use their boyfriend's toothbrush? An icky person. Bleh. No further comments.

The last one (about the remote) really just kind of baffles me. Men can't share the TV every once in a while because if we rule the TV, we start to take over everything? That's pretty sad. If you can take over the television on Super Bowl Sunday, then I at least deserve a day of "Top Model" should a marathon be running that day.

Edit: TS here. I have to quote this to get the full effect across:
"Guys are more than willing to hand over the reins when it comes to many things. For instance, feel free to take control in the sack."

Oh. My. God. OK, so it's fine for a girl to be in control only when it's sexy for the guy. Screw that.

This is why I should be president.
