I was checking MSN.com and saw this page, the title for which was "The Wife's Bill of Rights."

I mostly disagree with this list, mostly because rather than saying something new or at least amusing, it just cashes in on some easy stereotypes of female behavior: We Reserve the Right to PMS! We Reserve the Right to Foreplay! Jesus. It's like that email that went around in High School, about the differences between women and men. "GUYS LOVE BOOBS. GIRLS LOVE SHOES."

Does Kyle love boobs? Yes.

Do I love shoes? DOUBLE YES!

But neither of these preferences define us. I wish I could explain my irritation with all this in a more succinct way, but alas...I've been on the internet for three hours now and my brain appears to be mush. Now that I think about it though, maybe I'm feeling particularly stupid and irrational right now because my period's next week. UH OHHH! PMS WINS AGAIN!
