Pretty Lady on the absent virtues of the equalitarian male:
Women, girls, self-described ‘feminists’ all: listen to the voice of experience. Check-paying has nothing to do with equality between the genders, good sex, or feminism. Check-paying is the simplest, most accurate method of ascertaining whether you are on a date with a man, or with a bizarre specimen of animated pond slime. Heed this warning at your extreme peril.
I’m not sure why the Lady’s languid manner amuses me so much, but it works for her. Like – and almost completely unlike – Bane, she has style. Furthermore, she’s right, any woman foolish enough to spend her time with a man who refuses to play the man’s role is asking for heartbreak and trouble, not necessarily in that order.
