Last time I checked men were definitely real. Taking up space that can't be occupied by another solid object at the same time and everything.

Never met one that wasn't real yet. Or a surreal one for that matter.

No, I want my man to iron, change nappies, do childcare, do housework and cook and I want to be able to earn money.
I prefer it when he's decisive and masterful rather than vague and helpless though.
I dislike the sort of "real women" who are over made up, screechy and giggly. You can keep them too.
Androgeny rules!
