Today on "Get To Know a Subculture":I genuinely think there's no better demonstration of sexism in our society than the fact that we talk about cat ladies but not sword guys (and I do not mean to disparage either). This is despite the fact that the transition into the sword-guy lifestyle is swifter: A woman has to have, let's say, more than three cats before her cat ownership becomes a lifestyle statement and people deem her a "cat lady." But if a guy just mounts a single katana on his wall he is saying, "That's it, this is me now." Yet we never talk about sword guys?
Previously, previously, previously, previously.
Brilliant.
AWKWARD CALL OUT
What about cat guys? I have a couple.
Actually less cats than katanas in my house come to think of it. They're not mounted on the wall. (Neither the cats or the swords.)
Wait, so taking about frightened old gunboys suddenly isn't a thing? I have to stop?
To be unsnarky, we don't talk about cat guys, and yet, I know more crazy cat guys than I do cat ladies (2:1 ratio, now I think of it)
I am distraught at the notion that the "studied the blade, mastered the blockchain" guy may, in fact, be getting more action than I am...
Last night there was a long, thin box in the lobby with an unmistakable illustration on the front.
That's right. One of my neighbors is a Sword Guy.
Do I qualify as a Sword Guy if my wife is the one who actually owns the sword?
