Member-only story
I came up with this about a week ago. Like any not-really-developed theory, it has a lot of holes in it and is based largely on stereotypes. For these things, I do apologize upfront. I do think there’s a bit of validity on it, though, or else I wouldn’t even put down some thoughts.
First things first: I used to have this joke back in my 20s. I usually said it to girls and a lot of times it was a way to try and get somewhere romantically (sexually?) with them. The whole crux of it was, “Well, men are so limited.” I could usually make this work because I’m pretty overtly masculine — large, off-task man — but I can talk about things like romantic comedies, Beyonce, female backstabbing, travel, and the like (so essentially I can resonate with females). I would sometimes extend the joke to “Sometimes in the morning, I weep for being a man.” That part probably sounds a little over-dramatic. You know what? It is. But 20-something males aren’t the greatest people on Earth.
And now we come to the point.
Second things second: I hate the word “pussy” in the female anatomy context, but I used it here for alliterative purposes.
The idea: many men (and remember, I said this borrows from stereotypes) to chase pussy (romantic connections or sexual flings) and then profit (bigger, better, higher-paying jobs)…
