Male Chauvinism‏

I sat down with a group of friends this week. There were about 7 of us total, but only 2 were women.

 

The conversation gravitated towards the taste the men have in women. I personally tried avoiding talking about physical traits for two reasons: first is that it doesn’t matter how hot a woman is to me – if she isn’t smart I’m not going to remain interested in her. Second reason was that every OTHER guy there was going to cover my interests and I don’t like conversational circle-jerks.

Gentle reader, if you are curious what I am interested in, you’ll have to ask me specifically. I’m not answering that here. Someone mentioned breasts, someone mentioned Asians and/or blondes, I think one person had it bad for women with large asses. Again, I refrained from talking about my interests.

The two women in the group? To be blunt, they were mostly flat, weren’t Asian or blonde. I’m not going to publicly admit if I saw their asses or not.

After the last guy finished talking, someone tried to change the subject. I immediately had to stop them right the fuck there. We pretty much just talked about women as if two weren’t sitting right there!

Chalk it up to school bullying or something, but I don’t like that.

Though none of us stood up, pointed a finger at the two women and said “WE DECLARE YOU UGLY” that was the message they were given. Now the two women in question declined to chime in with men they find attractive.

So what am I getting at? There are simple, almost stupid things men do that could easily NOT be stupid.

In this case, giving women a chance to be chauvinist. Remember that a chauvinist is merely one who is showing or relating to such excessive or prejudiced support or loyalty. Anyone can be a chauvinist.

Give women a chance to be just as chauvinist as you. It’s actually just as fun. In my opinion, it’s perfectly fine to talk about people when they’re right in front of you – because the opposite is behind their back, and where I grew up (America, thank you very much) that’s pretty rude.

The only thing more rude in this context is to talk about people as if they aren’t there – unless there’s some new dom/sub relationship dynamic happening that I’m COMPLETELY unaware of. 

So the next time you’re talking boobs in front of a women you are/aren’t married to, ask her what she likes in a dude. It’s one less step in being an asshole.
