So, why do these misogynist jokers completely lose their sense of humor, if you turn the tables on them?

“- Why do only 10% of men make it to heaven?

– Because if they all went, it would be Hell.”

Can’t you take a joke, guys?

Since I’m new here (linked over from Cecily Kellogg’s blog), I had to read all the links…

Your story of dealing with the strange man approach outside the club reminded me of when I was very young and sheltered and new to the big city of Memphis. I completely didn’t get that I wasn’t supposed to smile and be grateful when strange men hollered at me on downtown streets. Not to mention I was very afraid of coming off like a racist white bitch if I were to ignore a non-white man. Argggh. (I had to be schooled by a wise old man I knew: “They don’t know you. Don’t even look at a motherfucker unless he says ‘hey, Chiara’”)

Anyway, it was much later that I became a Miss Manners fan (yay, Linda!) and she has a great article on this situation that I wish I could find a link to. It boils down to: Etiquette absolutely does NOT require a woman to respond to overtures from a man she is not acquainted with. We’ve somehow internalized the idea that it’s so very rude not to at least talk to him (and a lot of men certainly have), but that has actually never been the case.

Sorry to be off the main topic. Also, you are awesome. And funny.

Sadly, none of the “science” writers at many of the biggest news outlets seem to be competent at their jobs, and reported it as real.

I love the Canadian joke, but who says Canadians don’t have a sense of humor? I was just discussing with a Canadian friend of mine this week why it is that so many more good comedians are Canadian than USAan. He thought that it was possibly that they’re much more self-assured than we are (as a broad stereotype)

Being a derby girl, that’s yet another OLD JOKE that I’m sick of. I work really hard at what I do- it IS a sport, and it IS 100% real.

But POINT BEING- since I was all riled up at that point, I would have loved to dig into yet another character.

That would explain why I keep crushing beer cans on my head. And I don’t even drink beer.

Ha! I don’t have PCOS, actually — that’s FJ. So I’m still assuming I have near-zero levels of testosterone. PCOS might explain why you guys are so damn funny, though.

It’s really uncool when you want to tell someone off and they think it’s just snark. I must immediately implement a sweet, meek female charicature to make my anger contrast better.
