Nah, only these particular males. They stayed outside all day and slept in the dog house.

[@kairo9084]

XD question. Ever XD

[@abouttimeforarevolution241]

I would assume males would have had to be present when women wrote or read anything.... a woman shouldn’t be left to use her literacy skills without supervision or they could start forming opinions. These suitors all seemed to lack the motor skills of cognitive ability to enter the room.

Yes, the Brits would say "dyook" instead of "dook", but how is it wrong? It's the way we say it. Usage is everything. If saying dook is wrong, then the way Brits say "marquis" is wrong. It is french, and should be pronounced "mar-KEE".
