"Yesterday, Sofia was modeling jeans for me in Bloomingdale&amp;amp;#8217;s. I told Sofia that her butt looked good. Next, we went upstairs and giggled over the $1,000 shoes, then down to the first floor where we sprayed each other with perfume. Afterwards, I took her to Serendipity. I was excited to take her to a place she&amp;amp;#8217;d never been before, and to share a frozen hot chocolate with her. In the sorority, we used to call this kind of bond &amp;amp;#8220;sisterhood,&amp;amp;#8221; but hey, I think this could be a womance. But seriously. We have a great friendship. We&amp;#x27;re lucky to be close and to be able to appreciate each other in a way that only girls can, I think. All this to say&amp;amp;#133;I&amp;#x27;ve been wondering: Why do men have a special word for friendship (&amp;quot;bromance&amp;quot;)? Why do they go out on &amp;amp;#8220;man-dates&amp;amp;#8221; instead of just hanging out somewhere that&amp;amp;#8217;s not at home? Why do they get to have a masculinized tantrum (&amp;amp;#8220;mantrum&amp;amp;#8221;)? &amp;amp;#8220;Mantrum&amp;amp;#8221; makes tantrums cool because it&amp;amp;#8217;s supposedly funny. If a woman threw a fit, though, people would say she was psycho. They wouldn&amp;#x27;t give her tantrum a funny name to make light of it. I think &amp;amp;#8220;mantrum&amp;amp;#8221; might also puff men up&amp;amp;#8212;like, it&amp;amp;#8217;s a tantrum that only a MAN could throw. Or, we&amp;#x27;re saying that real men don&amp;#x27;t have tantrums. Anyway, just food for thought on this Thursday afternoon! Tell me who you&amp;#x27;re having a womance with. Mwah!
