A Gay Woman

The Gay Woman My best friend is lesbian we get along like a house on fire and her office is not cluttered with flowers and knick knacks. I do not have to kiss her when we meet, a firm handshake is enough. I live in a country where women cut you up in traffic, want you to give way because they are females. And it is tiring to always be the gentleman...and I remember a sentence from Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw: “Why can’t a woman be more like a man?”
