'If you start a sentence declaring you’re not a misogynist, you probably are one.'
DEAR ABBY: I would like to respond to “Ready To Bail in New Jersey” , who was complaining about women being on their phones all the time. Does this man have any idea how much information and communication is shared electronically now? Work emails, school emails, group texts about various kid activities, and even grocery shopping are all done on a phone.
DEAR MICHELLE: I warned “Ready” that my readers would have a lot to say about his letter and whether he is, indeed, a misogynist. Well, you all came through -- in large numbers. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I agree with “Ready,” but it’s not just women who do this. People of both sexes are constantly on their phones and oblivious to what’s going on around them. I’m a mom of three small children, and I love organizing play dates with other parents and kids. Rarely are the other parents interested in chatting for any length of time or watching our kids play. They prefer to take photos for social media and scroll through their phones. I get it -- we’re all tired and long for rest time.
