Quote--DW: Considering the relative fragility of men, it's clearly counterintuitive for us to urge them, from boyhood on, to cope bravely with adversity, to ignore discomfort, to persevere in spite of pain and to accept without question the most dangerous jobs and tasks we have to offer.


I have been watching Hell's Kitchen (I know, I know--but its summer and nothing else is on, plus Gordon Ramsey amuses me) and something on there reminded me of this statement. Last week, a woman chef burned her hand and was immediately iced down and rushed to the hospital. This week, a male chef burned his hand, and he was yelled at for being too slow and acting wimpy.

I thought this was terribly unfair.
