Why do you feel women need to be treated with kid gloves more so than men?

But he didn't tell you to change ...

Anyway the point is this thread is ridiculous and inappropriate for this forum anyway -- but a little comic relief is needed sometimes. We can't all argue over drug policy and dating in your 30s everyday.

Um, it's traditionally been called "chivalry".

We were once a more gracious, well-mannered society. I fail to see how the loss of those values has been an "improvement".

I agree.

There's a time and a place for a offbeat sense of humor, but it takes experience to know when to use it properly.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. As a woman, your post strikes me as more misogynistic than his.

Exactly.

I'm no prude. I certainly think bawdy talk does indeed have a proper time and place. This thread, however, isn't it, IMHO.

Thanks for the support.

I've been called many things in my lifetime, but this is the first time I've ever been called "misogynistic". Thanks for the clobber.

Please note that in no way did I mean to imply that a woman isn't strong enough to handle herself in such situations. That was not my intention.

So anyway, what's up with this OP chick, and why doesn't she like getting laid?

I have a similar opinion about humor.

During my many visits to Chicago, I usually go to see a performance of Second City, in Old Town. ( I've probably gone at least 20-25 times). Originally, the shows were quite funny, and original, and with real flair for well-done group ensemble comedy. I've changed my mind about them recently,as their shows have gotten increasingly loud, and yes, a bit boorish at times. I wondered why, but then I realized that even the script writers/directors didn't appear to be much more than 25 themselves, so I knew that had to be the reason. The organist ( much younger than her predecessor) generally drowns out the singer (s) , and steps on half the punchlines, while the skits go on long past their expiration date. Louder, and more profane, doesn't equal "better"....
