I think men are getting the short end of the best friend stick. After all, if girls get diamonds as Marilyn Monroe claims, it doesn’t seem fair for men to get dogs. I know what girls will say: (use condescending tone) “but men are like dogs in so many ways–both are smelly, easily distracted by simple games and can’t put the toilet seat down.” But my complaint is about the genre: if it is an animal for men–dog may be fine–then it should be an animal for girls. I vote for cats–like girls they are proud, self-absorbed and mean (my wife punched me after reading that). If the genre is showy, expensive things that you don’t really need (like diamonds), then I think men should get HD TVs. Regardless of whether you agree with me or agree with Marilyn,
