Boyfriends are uncool

This is discussed as though it is an inevitability. They may love these men but in some ways they feel that love is a burden. This forms the backbone of female bonding about men’s perceived uselessness and it makes me feel strange, almost alien. As though there’s some aspect of womanhood I’m missing out on because I married someone (a woman no less) where we try and do everything 50-50.

To assuage the awkwardness, I have a throwaway punch line: “Listen lads, you should have married a woman”. Because from the way straight women talk about it, it certainly seems that their partner’s maleness, specifically, is the problem.
