I'd like to look at him and say, "You have an absolute inability to think past your selfish motivations and desired outcomes!"
And then, I playfully tap myself on the forehead and giggle to myself. Surely that can apply to ALL men?
Chagrinned over my sexist prejudice, I can allow that both men and women suffer from this state of selfishness- an absolute selfishness where no other thoughts can even materialize. And I certainly am not suggesting that I don't have "selfish motivations and desired outcomes;" but at least I can think through and prepare for other outcomes as well. A little step in mental preparation so that I can handle other outcomes with grace and ease and acceptance without drama (without a tantrum).
Children are forgiven for their tantrums- they are still growing up, learning that there is an ebb and flow to selfishness and selflessness. Adults, whether they be male or female, should have already learned this lesson; and since we're all in this dreadful existence called "life" together, should be prepared and ready to "play nice and take turns."
