Well, no one ever said you had to be super mature or non-sexist to be a dad of a daughter, the universe reminded me once again. If an exchange lasted for a minute, I got paid 30 cents for overhearing it.
Elder Dad of Daughter laughed with Younger Dad of Daughter about how he knew it was sexist but he couldn't believe B. Clinton was the President of the United States and couldn't do any better than M. Lewinsky and Younger Dad added to their mirth by saying Arnold Schwarzenegger was even worse for having a kid with his maid.
Tip: In the next life, it might not sound so funny. Might just sound like they're being sort of sexist and dehumanizing. Dads.
Bonus: Some patience was required before any of that unfolded when another dad who wanted to ask for help but was also partially embarrassed about asking for it kept throwing around terms relating to his occupation, like "aerospace" "millions" "margins" and also "I respect what you do, but I don't need this shit" (well not to make $$$, technically, but if he wants a degree I guess he does...) Yet at the end, he said "Thank you" and behaved nicely and did not join in with the other two (although he might have overheard them too? Who knows). Progress?
