atw: Re: OT: English is such a marvelous language

Excuse me ladies but, as a guy, I take exception at your assertion that
this is "a guy thing".

In fact, just this afternoon, I paid 90 bucks to have my Bosch front
loader washer serviced (when "a girl thing" AKA a bra underwire) -
and no, not from an underwear of mine, thank you! - lodged between
its inner and outer drums, as if in some clandestine female plot to
prevent me from washing the fresh towels that I put out every day.

I dunno.  Males in today's society are the target for every sexist
joke and advertisement.

How come women can get away with this stuff in an open forum and on
air but men are seen as being politically incorrect if we dare to respond.

I could call you "Female chauvinist sows" but I know you better than
that, right?

Hygiene is not sexually selective.

I'm offended!

Sheesh, recently I've even been overlooked for key tech writing roles,
despite being the recommended candidate, because the female middle
management in question refused to interview any men.

That's prejudice.

What? Have we got a "glass floor" now?

I'm all for equal opportunity, but men are getting a rough deal at the
moment in many areas (including being universally vilified in federal
government anti-domestic violence campaigns - apparently there is no
such creature as a violent woman - just ask Bodicea).

How did all guys suddenly become either bad or stupid?

What is going on!

Excellent bit of gum shoe, Janice! You went thru the back door of a site that was not all there yet to get that strip - good showing!

A number of ladies contacted me privately with similar stories and commenting that it indeed appears to be a guy thing. So ladies thanx to Janice - here's the strip that you requested.
Guys out there take note
the only thing worse than a stinky guy
is a 2 minute man (however if he's a stinky 2 minute man then two minutes is an eternity).
