"They bleed -- if not from vaginas then from their sensitive souls."
Metaphor in Context
My husband thinks that talking about himself a lot makes him a feminist. He heard somewhere that men should talk about their feelings more. I suspect he's just trying to out-lady me, which isn't hard, since I'm callous. All this fucking 'male sensitivity'. Men are becoming so feminised. Some people say it's because their jobs are disappearing. Have you noticed how their voices are getting all high-pitched and whiny? They bleed -- if not from vaginas then from their sensitive souls.
