“What part of their bodies do men dry off first when they get out of the shower?”
“Hunh?” I reply inelegantly, thoroughly lost.
My friend explains.
“We noticed in the bathhouse this morning that when a woman gets out of the shower, the first thing she dries off is her face, so I was wondering about men.”
The observation is an interesting one, certainly. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'd never really thought about it before, but when you're wet all over, of course you dry your face first. Just what this may say about our species, I'll leave you to suss out for yourself.
But the act of “othering” inherent in her question annoyed me, not to mention the sexism. I figured that a stupid question deserves a stupid answer.
“We dry off our dicks first,” I tell her.
