Gender Issues

HOLY CRAP!!!!

Today walking to the market I saw a person walking towards me. Bravo Furry a person walking towards you in Paris. But this person was different. It was an old woman with her coat on, scarf around her head, big sac full of things, and her full facial beard. WHAT??? Yes you heard me a full facial beard with mustache and all. I didn't even have to pay the $5 to get into the freak show. (I know I am going to hell already, so might as well say it). I mean this wasn't your old lady's fuzz this was long strands of ugliness on her face. After my brain processed that this indeed was a woman, I nearly barfed on the street, seriously. I know it is shallow, but it was hideous. After 5 minutes I started laughing to myself about it (I know already I am a horrible person), but the laughing caused me to think about it again, which nearly caused me to barf again. I mean don't you at some point have to shave it? What is the ruling on facial hair for old women?

Speaking of mixed up genders....

Western Europe uses the Euro (I know some countries don't, but just go with me here) this is a coin based monetary unit for the most part. That means the majority of products or services are paid for with coins, which in turns means you have to carry a lot of coins. This leads to men with coin purses. Now I am not as open to my sexuality as say Arbusto, but am not nearly as closed as Brandon or the human garbage disposal. But, I do have a some weird problem with my masuclinity about carrying around a coin purse. I think I would be caught carrying a murse before a coin purse. Yet all of the men do it here. All. It is a very weird thing for me, and I don't think I will be converted.

Weird difference between two countries:

In the US we use a "." as a decimal point and a "," to seperate between thousands and millions etc. In France it is completely the opposite and fucks up my head. Here in France they use "," as a decimal and a "." between the thousand mark and million mark.

Weird irony between two countries:

In a country that does not use the metric system (i.e. USA) we have 2 liter bottles of pop. Yet in a country that does have the metric system (i.e. France) they only have 1,5 liter bottles of pop. ??? (notice how I used the "," too)
