Women love to clean; they love it so much, they wear nice clothes when scrubbing the toilet and they dance with their mops.
Only women know how to clean or use cleaning products.
The moment a man says his wedding vows, he becomes an infantilized moron with no judgment skills and incapable of the most basic decision making. Fortunately, their wives are also their mothers.

I just had a convo with a parent at my son’s school about how she has to straighten her hair to keep her job. Like her white boss actually came to her & said her kinky hair is not professional enough.
