To be clear - we’re not all bad sure there's a lot to ask forgiveness for on some very primal levels before we can even knock on splitting the difference let alone the bill sure we lost some credibility with chauvinism over time by degrees or default sure sometimes we'll leave .50 caliber tracer rounds on the living room floor to claim eminent domain sure we let the kids play with fire during red flag warnings to see if one of 'ems got a bright future sure you'd like most of us to be Casanovas at heart but some of us carry burdens small enough you can wipe away with a smile while some require a colossal archaic armament for suppression
Touche. You are not all bad, not by any stretch. There are unseen forces at play and the world has placed expectations and responsibilities on men that have cause alienation and unspoken pain.
A few little mistakes... Growing pains actually. We didn't ask to be here. And we are certainly not all playing with a full deck.
So, circumstances being what they are (as they always are) I believe we are on solid footing to split the check with the powers that be.
Although I may still decide to foot the whole bill just to be weird...
