‘Don,
can I ask you something?’
‘One
question.’
‘Do
you find me attractive?’
Gene
told me the next day that I got it wrong? But he was not in a taxi, after an evening
of total sensory overload, with the most beautiful woman in the world. I
believed I did well. I detected the trick question. I wanted Rosie to like me,
and I remembered her passionate statement about men treating women as objects.
She was testing to see if I saw her as an object or as a person. Obviously the
correct answer was the latter.
‘I
haven’t really noticed,’ I told the most beautiful woman in the world.
