It starts with the line "Feminists don't have a sense of humor" and goes from there (with a chorus of male voices interjecting lines like "Lighten up, ladies!"). It's hilarious. (Here's a link to a video of her performing it: <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/nellie_mckay_sings_feminists_and_if_i_had_you.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/nellie_mckay_sings_feminists_and_if_i_had_you.html</a>)Amandahttp://householdopera.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-56408800599457054062009-12-08T11:08:48.900-08:002009-12-08T11:08:48.900-08:00My chin is still on the floor after just reading F...My chin is still on the floor after just reading FemaleScienceProfessor's "he must be joking" post. My chin *shouldn't be* on the floor because similar stuff happens to me on a regular basis and it's not a shock to my system anymore. <br /><br />My boss was emailed to fill out a reference form for something I applied for. My boss forwarded me the email saying "are you serious?"<br /><br />NO, I'M TOTES NOT SERIOUS. I'm a silly school girl. HARDEEHARRHARR. <br />I wanted to throttle him. I wrote him a lengthy reply about asking women "if they are serious" so he can firmly know that I'm SERIOUSLY a hysterical whiny feminist bitch!<br />IBTP<br />jcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-73270826349092326872009-12-08T09:22:37.611-08:002009-12-08T09:22:37.611-08:00Yeah, ladies, can't you take a joke?

You women just take everything so personally. Sheesh, relax a little. You'd have a better sense of humor if you just got laid more often.</i><br /><br />Sorry, just had to vent. Because I've heard all of those. Thanks for articulating it better than I could.<br /><br />(And by the way, whenever a guy says that "all you women" take everything personally, I've learned to calmly reply, "that's because it IS personal." Drives them crazy.) :)Terminal Degreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523014953046778630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-20555440455302257852009-12-08T01:28:28.841-08:002009-12-08T01:28:28.841-08:00Absolutely. And I would add that the corollary to ...Absolutely. And I would add that the corollary to that law is that any display of reasoned anger or argumentation from a woman is likely to be met with the rejoinders, 'Calm down!' and/or 'Don't get hysterical.'<br />Twisty always makes it better, though (or at least a bit easier to bear).Bavardesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737120234578385755noreply@blogger.com
