I love listening to women talk, unfettered by demands for attention from men - whether husbands, sons, brothers, friends or whatever.
Old women like Beryl Bainbridge and younger women like Miranda Hart - they are all wonderful.
They make me envious when they come together, but that is the whole point.
One day I hope I will be reincarnated as a woman, just for the intelligent fellowship.
I mean, the humour is so much better than men's for a start.
ReplyDeleteLike men they talk a lot of shit too
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but it's not the same old shit.
DeleteAnyway, you're being brave again. It's only a matter of days since you said old people were stupid. (Me? Stir it up? Noooo)
DeleteWomen never waste their time talking shit. It is all weighed up, clever and to the point.
DeleteAnd they do when there are no men around to hear it.
DeleteIt's true. I do talk a lot of shit.
ReplyDeleteWe all do. Men don't have a monopoly over arse holes.
DeleteBut it's important shite. And everyone of us can pick up any conversation where we left it off with any woman, no matter how many years later. Women simply are better friends than men.
ReplyDeleteOnce they leave school and stop the spitefullness.
DeleteI could make a case here for all girls' schools, but I can't face the opposition. All I know is that my daughters are still best friends with the girls they went to school with at their single sex school.
DeleteYes, women talking together is very special. As soon as a man appears it all changes, not necessarily for the worse, but it changes.
ReplyDeleteYes. Same with men's conversation except I prefer women's from eavesdropping.
DeleteI just love Ursula Le Guin!
ReplyDeleteThe old female writers are the best - with the exception of Barbara Cartland.
DeleteYou ought to come to our Chatty Crafty group, it's mayhem, everyone talking at the same time. There is a lot of humour though, we have fun.
ReplyDeleteI would change the dynamics.
DeleteGuess that is why nearly all book clubs are populated by women only.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to one. I'm too opinionated.
DeleteI was asked to shut up. I didn't last long
DeleteMe either.
DeleteI hate the idea of book clubs. Reading is a solitary thing, like writing.
DeleteI completely agree.
DeleteYou’re welcome 😇 XXXX
ReplyDeleteWho's the bloke in the hat? I'll kill 'im.
DeleteIt is nice to be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI bet you say that to all the boys.
DeleteInteresting Tom. That is more or less what I would write about mens' talk albeit about golf, football or women. At least, on the whole, women don't talk about men - well not in a sexy way. But then maybe that's because men are not particularly sexy.
ReplyDeleteAren't they? Ask John about Russell Crowe.
DeleteIt's official. I have crush on you.
ReplyDeleteAw shucks. Now I am really worried.
DeleteSo you like women Tom....now in all honesty would you say that women like you? I bet they do
ReplyDeleteUp to a point.
DeleteFunny ladies who have made it... Lady Trumpington, sadly dead at a goodly age. And then the first female speaker of the House of Commons - Betty Boothroyd (a Yorkshire lass).
ReplyDeleteYes, Lady Trumpington sounded like a good laugh. Compare Betty Boothroyd to the current speaker!
DeleteBetty Boothroyd was fantastic and knew exactly how to do the job.
DeleteI agree. Best Speaker for years. She used to be a Tiller Girl!
