In Praise of Male Friends

Male-bashing is not my thing. I love men, and I sympathize with them and appreciate the challenges they face (even if it's only on an intellectual level, since I am a girl, after all). There's more than enough B.S. out there about how sucky men are. I don't want to contribute to the propaganda.

However, stories of men behaving badly are just too juicy to pass up! So, for this category, Heroes/Men Behaving Badly, I'm creating the rule (Queens can do that) that any story about a man behaving badly will be balanced by a story of a hero.

I'll start:

My friend, Chuck, had this to say when I told him the details of my last breakup:

Well THAT sucks.  Jeez, why do guys go and do stuff that makes the rest of us look like jerks...  Oh well, good luck to [him] on scoring another smart, artsy, yoga-babe who can put up with shit...

And when I mentioned I wanted to quote him on my blog, he added:

Feel free to work "and general douche-baggery" into my post if you like.

I just love my guy friends.
