I mean, I’m vegan, I don’t want her to eat fish tacos. But she was telling me the other day that her friend ordered some and she thought for a moment about trying it, but in the end she was afraid they would be too spicy. I told her they’re not, but she has it in her head that fish tacos are some strange foreign food that will fuck up her taste buds or something. A grown ass adult afraid to try fish tacos.
Then you have my dad. He is surprisingly cool with me being vegan, doesn’t really care. He’s never criticized or made fun. But he will never eat any vegan meal I prepare. Why? Because he won’t eat any entree that doesn’t have meat in it. He just refuses. Like an adult baby. My mom has asked him to just try eating a salad but he won’t. Absolutely zero interest in trying anything new that he thinks he won’t like.
Old white people are weird.
I knew an early gen X dude who absolutely refused to cook his own meals.
The few times he had to cook, he would purposely sabotage his own cooking by straight up dumping entire shakers of salt on the food and then complain about it.
I wonder how the fuck he managed to live.
generally, by being a big enough baby that the people around him probably felt the need to pick up the slack
Men won't recognize the labor that they put onto women because then they'd have to reckon with what big loser babies they are.
