Ladies, we can’t win.

I have had this discussion with so many people lately, men and women, and in general, the men begin thinking I’m crazy but in the end agree with me, whereas the women, they just know where I’m coming from. Ladies, we can’t ever seem to win. Let me explain. You may remember from this post,
