Men Sick Of Women's Fairytale Fantasies
Believing that one day you'll find your prince sets everyone up for disappointment.
If I read the phrase "You've got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince" on this site one more motherspelunking time, I'm going to spontaneously barf.

Maybe there really is a patriarchy, and I've just never been invited to their annual meet-up. It's a testosterone-jacked cabal of dudes smoking cigars, and wearing penis hats, sitting around an oblong table in a secret silo on a peninsula plotting how to reinforce absurd, medieval wish fulfillment fantasies in women.
