On Men Asking You Out if you work behind the counter of Neiman Marcus or Saks: “𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴. 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴. 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴. 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘤𝘬. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰.

Steve Martin tries to do serious by not being overly serious as he was in his novella, but what he thinks is sensitivity is actually female objectification and male righteousness. Avoid at all costs.
