[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^or girl dinner. Whatever. The way we always eat and never thought to brag? share?[/quote]

I rarely eat like that. [/quote]

Eat like what? Wtf is girl dinner supposed to mean?[/quote]

It's when you're alone and want a dinner that is easy, usually doesn't involve cooking or cleanup, and wouldn't be considered a "real meal" by a lot of people. So like, a glass of wine and some cheese/charcuterie with a hunk of baguette.

I absolutely hate this. It's so regressive. Like a woman alone does not merit a full home cooked meal. I get being tired and not wanting to cook, but OTOH it's implying women should subsist on air and a few handfuls of popcorn, and actual meals are just for men/families. I am single and enjoy cooking healthy hot meals. I can save the leftovers for tomorrow and/or know how to make quick meals in less than 10 minutes. I deserve a home cooked meal at the end of the workday as much as anyone else! [/quote]

And I’m single and don’t give a shit about having a hot meal. I’ve apparently been “girl eating” my whole life. It’s not a comment on how much I value myself, I promise. [/quote]

I’m married and don’t give a damn about this cooking a “hot meal” stuff. And when my husband wants one, he can make it himself.

He often chooses crackers and peanut butter and cereal. I guess that is “boy dinner”?

We are both lawyers and don’t have any time for any of this stuff. And it’s fine.[/quote]

Its fine for you but some other people might want a different pace of life where they enjoy timely healthy meals and do give a damn about spending time together. They can hire someone or cut down work hours or whatever else works for them.[/quote]
