Dear Tax-chick,

“Doesn't this sound like ‘you,’ our modern young American man, really want ANOTHER GUY, not one of those *shudder* women?”

That's one of the themes of Updike's The Rumor.

I used to have a photograph of two devices sitting next to each other. One had an on-off switch. It was labeled, “man.” The other had many switches, dials and controls. It was labeled, “woman.”

Men ARE easier.

But this man thinks the ladies are infinitely more fun.

Everything I think of, someone already did ...

I've seen that picture. It's always seemed to me to imply that the "Man" version is right and the "Woman" version is wrong, but that could just be my midlife crisis speaking. (That's also why I'm listening to the hard rock station on the radio ... some weird hormonal thing that makes me like the same music as a 16-year-old boy.)
