Re: Aging parents.

I'm older, and I have a lot of experience being suuuuuper diplomatic and gentle when it comes to talking to men. It's second nature, tbh, and I didn't think twice about it until recently and I realized just how tiring it is to have to do this stupid song and dance just so a man will pay attention. Meanwhile they just get to state their opinions and be listened to ASAP just because they're men. No sugarcoating, or gently massaging an idea into someone else's brain so subtly that they don't get angry that you have an opinion of your own. No mental gymnastics to make your "no" not sound acceptable to someone.

It's gotten so much worse as my dad gets older. Before, he'd be really stubborn about it, but if you insist that he listen to your reasoning, he might grudgingly accept it. Now? Nooooooooo you're just wrong and how dare you offend him like this by not immediately agreeing to whatever he says.
