what??

I know not everyone on my friends list agrees with me on everything, and that's fun and frequently eye-opening.

But how is it that this morning's f-list perusal gifted me with at least 3, and possibly 5 or more, stereotypical and frustrating jokes about gender?

Just because a joke is at the expense of straight men doesn't mean it isn't sexist, people. Er, and yes I am being a bit of a wimp by not individually calling people on this. I don't know y'all well enough to chasten you for your sense of humor.

while i have refrained from posting here ever since my verbal battering (not undue of course) i figure that in the spirit of competition, i can make this slightly more offensive.

And I hereby declare that no one, especially Russell, is allowed to be a boneheaded sexist for the rest of the weekend. :P
