Double Standards

I know things are changing with male nurses and female...uh...well stuff like that. There are just some jobs that I haven't seen the opposite gender fill.

I've seen many of both. But it's not surprising you haven't. Those are two jobs that one specific gender will usually excel at. Women are known to be a lot more friendly and talkative. Therefore, they're perfect secretaries. Men aren't afraid to get dirty and are usually a lot stronger. They're basically built for physical labour.

Of course, that's a generalisation, but a fairly true one. Women have been raised to do and believe certain things, just like men have. Those specific jobs suit one specific gender.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I gotta agree with this. I know of a couple cases where the dad was a pretty upstanding guy who held a well paying job, the mother was a drug addict who didn't even have a job. When they went to court to decide who would get custody, the mother was handed full-custody over the children, as long as she went into rehab. She didn't, she still kept the kids who were never allowed to speak to their father again. Stuff like that is pretty sickening.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not sure about that. It might depend on whether joint custody had all ready been turned down or not. But yeah, i think it was a case I studied back in highschool for law. It might also be different between Canada and America.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
