I’m not sure the bees and the flowers are good metaphor at all. Watch bumblebees collecting pollen and nectar — no sensitivity, no foreplay, just Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am.

Of course, sometimes I think that it IS a good metaphor, and that women are just unreasonable.

I’m going to have to look up the public health stats for this: what’s the rate of death or serious injury from reckless mis-handling of metaphors in American households? Of course we’d expect Europe to have stricter regulation of rhetorical devices.

i’m totally going to steal alpha from you some day when you aren’t looking. something irresistible about a woman who knows which way to point her metaphor.
