In elementary we don’t say I love you. We say “EUGLASSIA WATSONIA”, which translates to “Joan and Sherlock bee buddies 5ever”. And I think that’s beautiful.

"Negative stereotypes about men, for example, can make them uncomfortable and hurt their feelings. This seems to be the most common cause for men’s complaint and a major reason for women’s reluctance even to talk about sexism when men are around. But antimale stereotypes come primarily from women, a subordinate, culturally devalued group that lacks authority in a male-identified, male-dominated, male-centered society. In other words, if the source is a woman, the damage stereotypes can do is pretty much confined to personal hurt (as in making men feel foolish in bed), with little if any effect in the larger world. This is because antimale stereotypes aren’t rooted in a culture that regards maleness itself as inherently dangerous, inferior, ridiculous, disgusting, or undesirable. Such stereotypes can therefore be written off as the bitter ravings of a group beneath being taken seriously.

Antimale stereotypes also can’t be used to keep men down as a group, to lock them into an inferior and disadvantaged status, to justify abuse and violence against them, or to deprive them of fair treatment.” When women refer to men as jerks, for example, they aren’t expressing a general cultural view of men as jerks. If our culture really regarded men as jerks, the population would be clamoring for female presidents, senators, and CEOs. Instead, we routinely look to men for leadership and expertise in every area of social life, whether philosophy, government, business, law, religion, art, science, cooking, or child care."
