I'd gladly be willing to issue one of those if I got to carry the male punch card in return. I'm figuring women could earn punches for things like dirty clothing on the floor, consuming food/beverages from cartons, refusal to ask directions, the right to watch WWF programming on the big screen TV on a weekly basis, frustrating displays of machismo, complaining about inlaws...yeah, I could see this. Punches could be traded in for "eating at the Y" and household chores not involving power tools.

Yeah. What she said.

I'm kinda in the same boat, but EVERYONE does something that deserves a punchcard, if not a punch in the nose. I'm not willing to base is on gender, though. That's easy, but it's too easy to be truthful.

However, 10 punch cards each for a 3rd BF would be well worth it, except I frankly think I'd rack those up in about a month.

Ah, but the rhetoric is not.

As one commenter said: she's just well-programmed. *snert* I feel this way about gender jokes, either direction. Blaming anything on gender (one's own, or the other) is just about buying the rhetoric aimed at dividing us.

I mean, I bought the groceryies and then cooked all day Saturday and then I mowed the lawn on Sunday. I earn more money than both the boys put together. I either want the gender war to be over, or I want to grow my own dick. Because, something just isn't adding up, otherwise. I feel like the original hermaphrodite, embodying all the traits of both genders: I PMS like a fucking fiend, but I also get accused of internalizing my emotions to the point of exploding. That's just one example; there are many.

It just isn't fair.

Better a girlfriend with a punch card than a girlfriend who is a punch card.
