Scully,
I hope you gave that man a peice of your mind.
A few days ago I was having lunch with my BF and we were having a disagreement on where our son should go to preschool. We were not fighting or anything like that. It was simply a disagreement. There was a muslim couple sitting across from us. The woman was covered from head to toe and she looked so sad. Almost the whole time she was looking down at the table and not making eye contact with anyone. The male was dying to saying something. I saw the look of disgust on his face and he was staring daggers at me. Like how dare I disagree with a man. I decided to really piss him off by changing the subject and I brought up how far the US had come by electing Obama. I pointed out it was only a matter of time before there would be a woman president and it was bound to happen in other countries. I very smugly said this world would probably be a much more peaceful place of the world was ran by women. That statement made him so upset he said something in his native language and they left the restaurant before their food even arrived. I mean god forbid a women becomes president one day.
I have no doubt if I had been by myself having that kind of conversation on my cell he would have confronted me. The only thing that stopped him was my BF being there. I was hoping he would confront me. I could tell him to f*** off and go to hell w/o any reprecussions from him. His wife would have been able to see that women had some rights in this country.
