40 Days of Writing, Day 14: A Quote on Men, Women, & Food

I just wanted to point out a lovely remark my darling partner made this past weekend…

I casually ask Nick why most men don’t care about what they eat.

He replied, “Men aren’t punished for showing their desire for food or their appetite. Women are punished not just for eating, but if their bodies don’t look a certain way, or even if they desire something that is considered inappropriate by society. Men aren’t punished the way women are.”

That was one of those times when I think to myself, “Damn, I really love my lifetime boyfriend.”
