Because of course, *I* did not have a meat tenderiser. I had an oddly-specificly-designed thing that pokes holes.

Given that I am unlikely to use a meat tenderiser due to #arthritis being incompatible with handling cold meat, the reasonable thing to do is pop that gadget in one of the #decluttering boxes and #donate it to charity.

But I had had *some* successes using it purely as a pre-patterned hole-making device, so I said, "It's small, so I will keep it for now."

To be clear, this sort of logic is not very helpful in decluttering generally. It would be perfectly fair to talk me into getting rid of it sooner than later, as there are doubtless many objects in my care that are still here for no better reason.

Just because one might someday have a purpose for an object is a risky thought pattern for people with #HoardingDisorder, imo.

The problem is, however, that too many #men also see #women as #things.

And as Pratchett said, if you treat people as things --> evil.

++ I know, I know. We don't go there anymore - if you can help me get my friends and aunts off of it, be my guest.
