A ha ha that's too good. If only the critical theorists were right.
Posted by: Gavin Beeker at October 31, 2014 9:57 PMYou could make another kind of good video: a guy walking around town, endlessly subjected to NYT articles denigrating men, flyers stereotyping men as clueless and/or violent and/or exploitive, advertising that assumes men are nothing but cash machines and sperm banks, snotty women expecting doors to be held and then tittering behind men's backs instead of being thankful and polite. And we could make a video of women in the Muslim world - the world of rapes, stonings, clitorectomies, slavery. But of course none of that compares to the sheer brutality of being whistled at. Priorities, hey?

Posted by: GoneWithTheWind at November 1, 2014 7:58 AMI was out running errands, standing in the line at Walmart for meds. Behind me comes this guy, looked like he was on a Polack bowling team.
Mid-forties, wouldn't know matching colors if they bit him in the butt.
"Whassatcha got?" He asks, pointing to the cafe curtain rod I'm holding.
I spoke not a word, showed him.
"Oh" he sez, "thought it was one a them canes. My buddy has one with four feet".
"Yes, when we get older we lose equilibrium." I said (my mistake).
"Oh" he sez, "I lost my equilibrium when I had that aneurism, back in '97."
"You're lucky to be alive" sez I.
"I dunno, I'm waiting for them to come get me. Y'know, go up into space".
"I'm five foot ten." I said with finality, "you won't need any money up there."
He nodded sagely and I saw behind his eyes he'll be chewing on that for a while.
The art of conversation, one of my strong suits.
If you call that little pussy a man, then I'm Genghis Khan.
I tend to agree with edadday. The cross dressing guy was more butch.
