Why Do Women Hate Electricity?
I know what you're thinking. "I don't hate electricity! I couldn't get through my day without it!"
Yes, I know you couldn't. Which makes your hatred of it all that more confusing.
It just hit me recently when I was planning some romantic time for my wife and I. And I can prove it's true!
Here's my premise. Romance is primarily something women want and men provide (or don't, depending on your situation). And everything romantic is anti-electicity. Hence, women hate electricity.
Some examples:
Romantic Way of Getting Around - Car ride? No. Four wheeler? No. A nice walk on the beach. And if there is a vehicle involved, what is it? That's right! A horse-drawn carraige.
Romantic Source of Light - 2,000,000 candle-power spotlight? No. Halogen lamps with wonderful, warm tones and even light casting? No. Lit candles placed everywhere around the house / room. I'm beginning to think that women are firebugs, too.
Romantic Boat Ride - 6-engine Speedboat? No. 150' yaght? No. Either a small, white rowboat (and guess who ain't rowing!) OR a sailboat.
Romantic Heating Source - This is for those of you who don't live in the blast furnace of Texas. Propane-powered portable heat lamp? No. Central heat? No. A roaring fire.
There are many more examples, but I think you get the idea.
For some reason, women equate the Middle Ages with romance and so carry an ongoing hatred of electricity wherever they go.
What I want to know is WHY!

That's why women are afraid of electricity, we're afraid of what that bright light will reveal, and we're afraid that if we're talking while moving fast we'll crash.
