Ah, the French…

Through an email from Champs-Elysees (French learning CDs), I came across this gem from an American living in France. I came across this quote, which I love so much that I’m putting it here.
Le pessimiste pense que toutes les femmes sont des garces. L’optimiste l’espère bien.
A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. An optimist is one who hopes they are. –Chauncey Depew
How many of you know men like that or are men like that?

Why could not the same thing be said about men, hmm…?

Don’t all men hope women are “bad.”

Literally….a pessimist thinks all women are bitches…an optimist hopes they are. (Finally, my seven years acquiring rude French have come in useful). The French are, naturally, misogynists….(I know, I was married to one).
