I can’t really identify with this. I remember some girls being called either frigid or slack and sometimes both but that was the extent of it. Maybe I went to a good school after all.

Not at all where I thought that was going. I remember all of that, from the other side.

Out of interest, where did you think it was going?

Where it usually does, that the girls were so mean and aloof. All of pop culture tells us this, thinking of all the songs in that vein. Anyway, I forgot you're rather more self aware than that.

I actually thought a lot about it this weekend, I had forgotten just how mean the boys were - and unoriginal - they also called us dogs, pigs and Pogs. Girls, on the other hand were usually only mean when defending themselves.

Anyway, good writing - sure made me think.
