content: "Well, that's how men are." What do you do when you hear someone say this phrase? My mother in law is constantly saying this. Any hint of a male individual doing something rude, mean, or even just slightly inconvenient, she says it. How do you react? I've just chalked it up to being from an older generation, and this just being the female version of "tsk, women am I right?" I honestly don't know any other way to react to it. It bothers me, but she's in her 60s, so what can I do, you know?
