I blame the Kardashians and Honey Boo-Boo. As an aside, I’m getting quite active on Twitter, and I’m finding that I hate following other women. Either they’re moms who can’t post about anything except Their Precious CrotchFruit or they’re single women who only post about how much they drink/party/get laid/are crazy. Gah. How do men stand women these days? ---

I don’t think any of the women I follow on twitter post only baby stuff or alcoholic ho stuff. Try following classier women. Megan Amram is always a good choice. ---

> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > I don’t think any of the women I follow on twitter post only baby stuff or alcoholic ho stuff. On the other hand, many of the women I follow post about alcoholic baby stuff. The cycle of alcohol abuse in young children is no joke — 60% of Big Wheel fatalities are due to driving while under the influence. ---

Well, this is somewhat surprising. If some women could read, I was saying rather strongly that I think women are mainly quite smart - as any other humans - and that they are badly misrepresented by the current media. But, look at what happens. Seemingly the marginally-literate who completely failed to understand the concept took offense and began to howl. So you wish to say that I was wrong - women really are stupid as the media believes them to be. Maybe I am wrong. ---

You are wrong. In many many ways. You are also very stupid. ---

When everyone reads something other than the way you evidently intended, there is a chance that you are super intelligent and everyone else is dumb. There is a slightly greater chance that you were not as clear as you thought, or are not as smart as you thought. Tip: “if some women could read” is probably not the best approach. Unless you were just looking to get a rise, which is looking more likely. ---

The cognitive dissonance of liking grunge and easy listening is enough to drive anyone to eat Burger King. ---

_shrug_ The women I know don’t watch daytime TV. We’re, you know, \*\*working \*\*during that time. The ones that are SAHMs are actually parenting, and don’t watch that trash. So no, I guess, not all women are that stupid. There, that answers your question. So say thank you and shut up, so you can prove that you weren’t just trolling. We’re waiting with bated breath. ---
