>He was sensible and practical, liked making his bed in the morning and watching sport and investing his money for a rainy day. >He was stoic and emotionally reserved. I like how she makes these naturally masculine characteristics sound so dreadful. You know, the characteristics that shelter her from the real world and allow her to "leave a trail of clothes from the front door to the sofa every afternoon when I came home from work and spent stupid amounts of money on useless things like decorative cushions and truffle oil I’d forget to ever use." I would unironically spank my wife if she acted this childishly and she knows it.
