This is part of my plan to better understand women. I am expanding my horizons bit by bit. After all, pussycats cannot live by T. S. Eliot alone. Even male felines are in search of the answer to the Freudian question "What do women want?"* In the course of trying to understand that mystery I have come to the inevitable realization that they are men's (and pussycat's) superiors in every respect. Hence, the best answer to any provocative situation posed by a woman is a non-committal "yes, dear". Anything else betrays our ignorance and boorishness. James Thurber once said that he hated women because they always know where things are. Could there be a better reason for male obeisance? So men pretend to have a variety of feminine-approved habits, like taking joy in killing spiders, understanding the point behind closing the lid on a toilet, or believing natural law dictates that men get to have less than 5% of the space in a medicine cabinet. I myself am currently grappling with a suitably PC correct way to pretend that I like rock music. That way, when I ask for the location of my socks I can be sure that I will get something profound back like, "have you checked your socks drawer?" *Freud actually wrote that line! TTFN, CTC
