They're too contrived, too obviously "about" something - an abstraction, a stereotype - and not derived from observing real people. This week's story is so far from reality I barely recognize the stereotypes he is playing into. The "leash" and "messing with boys' minds" themes, sure - usually the complaint from men whose only experience with women is in trying to score with them (and not, say, be friends or colleagues.) The rest is just bad writing in search of humor against a deadline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
