What was interesting: after this nearly every married woman in the room became defensive of her husband talking to me. There was an air of "If that guy will flirt with you, then maybe my husband finds you attractive too."
And though I had done no wrong, I was soon painted a danger. An awkward dinner from which I excused myself at the first given opportunity.

Loved that experience! Its so typical of a patriarchal world we live in. However wife number 1 was extraordinary non patriarchal. Maybe she was a feminist ? She released her aggressions at her husband and not at you. That is indeed progress :-).
Usually wives (the patriarchal dependent ones) behave like the other ones. Instead of sticking together with the women they underline the "holy virgin/whore " dilemma created by patriarchy (solve et coagula) which means that women work against each other and are always protective of the one that REALLY deserves the rage, which is the man.
Ever known a mistress or a wife of a married man? No wife ever will state that her husband loves the mistress (no he is only with her because of sex and she is a whore) and no wife will ever divorce. No mistress will ever state that the husband loves his wife (no he is only with her because she needs him - and he is a saint ...;-)..but she - the mistress is what he REALLY needs.)
Its the typical portrayal of dependent women. Women who NEED men for whatever reasons. Be it for jobs, self esteem or money. I think - for that matter - we as escorts have it easier. We also are available for money and under circumstances support patriarchy, but we also exploit said patriarchy and lead it to an absurd joke. That is interesting indeed :-)
I heard a cynical feminist once say that why women are not in power is because they are busy working against each other and betraying each other and supporting patriarchal norms that way. What do you think?
PM me any suggestions!
interesting to know hate retains rationality .... how relieving :-)
