No kidding, it was intended a joke, not an insult. I think ''missbossypants'' has serious control issues and hates when ''her'' threads don't go the way she wants them to.

Stop crying ''missbossypants'', you're a big girl now.

Please stay on topic.

The thread topic is sexual comments in the work place.

Some of the males in this thread need to check their male privilege - http://www.amptoons.com/blog/the-mal...ege-checklist/.

5. I am far less likely to face sexual harassment at work than my female co-workers are.

Unless, you work with me.

10. If I have children but do not provide primary care for them, my masculinity will not be called into question.

Where I come from, your whole value as a human will be under question. And the answer won't be favourable.

45. On average, I am not interrupted by women as often as women are interrupted by men.

On what planet?

The rest are pretty accurate

To be very on topic, I believe men learn like puppies. They understand repeating, firmness and example. I am also a dedicate fan of Mosaic Law (an eye for an eye). If their sexism annoys, strike back by exemplifying what they do. They will not understand an analysis; they can't.
But do to them what they do to you and they will think twice next time.

Out.

Not meaning to derail, but this post made my day.

This is a serious post.
I'm wondering what your thoughts on this joke are. I find it hilarious, despite my inner feminist screaming in agony. I came across it on this bizarre and evil twin sister of Wikipedia, and it surprised me because I had such a mixed reaction to it.

How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb? Just kidding, feminists can't change shit.

None.
They will have men to change it.

The today's "date" ended as a disappointment for both of us - I expected more wit and intelligence from his side and he felt uncomfortable noticing it.

It makes him sound stupid, but i think people just are under the impression that if you are using a large vocabulary when you could otherwise make the same point with laymens terms that you are doing it to look smart, or belittle others to get attention.

But for some strange odd reason they feel the need to 'make it work' even to the point of them ending up being subject to my scrutiny, or apathy, yet trying to 'accept' me. WHY? Do men do this to you? is this a byproduct of being a boring INTJ? I don't think I am boring, not in the light of others who prefer to have fun objectively applying explicated subjective matters. In this way I can become what is perceived as sexist, though I would never say something so stupid that would include boobs unless I was highly acquainted with the person or they were already on the ball with that sort of talk to me and I am playing out the social games.

if an ISFJ takes the time to get into a relationship with you, regardless of how "boring"they find you they will try to make it work because there was something that initially got them interested and they will keep falling back to that.
