"Not everyone's a fan of pink cupcakes and special breakfasts full of women who are a little bit crying-on-the-inside from having to get it together even earlier than usual.

"Some ladies contain themselves to the quiet ritual of doing one and a half times as much housework as their husband, just like every other day.

"Does the Trump ascendancy formally liberate the C-suite cavemen who were hiding under their desks this whole time?

"Or are these urgent new corporate hobbies (mixed martial arts, belchin', fartin', scratchin', hog-shootin') just the best roll of the dice for a broligarch all too whimperingly aware that his day job right now is to abase himself completely among the cheeseburger wrappers at the feet of a 78-year-old reality TV star?"
