Ah, patriarchy in language.


On my OkCupid home page today, a profile edit that lists among the things this profile author enjoys "being wined and dined".  
Because enjoying an alcoholic beverage (for those who engage in such intake) and consuming a late day meal is something that is done to a person.  The deconstructionist in me is having a field day, but I want to hear what others have to say.  Case of self-objectification?  Unexamined adoption of passivity?
