I woke up this afternoon feeling so strange. It’s not my room, it’s not my bed, and nothing feels familiar. My family isn’t here, and suddenly there’s a man, my husband, sharing my personal space for the first time. I don’t even know how to explain it, but I feel like an impostor just walking around and doing things in this place.

      No, I said this situation sounds less like growing up and more like being a pet.

      That’s called simile, a figure of speech that directly compares two different things to highlight a shared quality.

        It’s easier to argue with me than to have some introspection on the type of language you choose when talking about women.

          I don’t understand why you’re projecting that on me.

          I’ve explained my position and I stand behind it and that’s all I can do.

          Like I said, I think she’s a victim, and I’m sorry for her situation. My wife considers me a feminist and that’s all the validation I need. You can choose to believe what you want.

            Waking the walk and talking the talk are two separate things.

            Maybe resist comparing women to animals in the future, Mr. Feminist.
