Ask her for one concrete example of how the “patriarchal hegemony which has sought to destroy every element of equality [women] fought for in the 60’s and 70’s” or how “the current government, and its imposition of its own extremely conservative views has contributed to increasing disempowerment of women” Of course, you’ll probably never hear from her again, but there’s an outside chance you might get her to think or something. ---

See, you guys got it all wrong. The correct response to “How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb” is two. One to climb her bitch ass up the ladder and the other one to suck my dick. I thought everyone knew that. 😃 ---

[Tom T. Hall] Throw another log on the fire. Cook me up some bacon and some beans. Go out to the car and change the tires. Wash my socks, and patch my old blue jeans. Honey, you can fill my pipe, and then go fetch my slippers. And boil me up another pot of tea. And throw another log on the fire, babe, And come and tell me why you’re leavin’ me. [/Tom T. Hall] ---

Um, I know this is a guy thread and I’m sorry to intrude (though I’ve brought beers and pie, here ya go…) But I think she prolly just isn’t interested in you and figures that’s a sure fire way to end your correspondance. Girl’s aren’t so good with, “No really, bye.” conversations and sometimes we resort to really, REALLY desperate measures. Or she could be a crackpot feminist who spouts off whatever Gloria Steinem malarky she’s last read. ---

Rule of thumb? Hey, my thumb isn’t very big…it should have been rule of wrist! You could steal a line that was flown around one of my college apartments: “You have the vagina; you get the mop!” It didn’t seem to go over too well with person to whom it was adressed. ---

True story: I knew a feminist once who was writing her thesis on feminist humor. I wisecracked that “I guess it’s gonna be pretty short, huh?” She didn’t get it. ---

Airman Doors had it right. However, I find the delivery is better if you hold off until the end the deliver the goods; “Two. One to put the bulb in… and one to SUCK MY DICK!” Mrs. RickJay thought this joke was hilarious. One of the many reasons I married her. ---

Tell her that you’ve read Dworkin (Andrea, not Ronald) and that you now understand that penetration is an act of oppression. And that you are looking for a healthy, non-penetrating, relationship. Cuz I’d like to hear how that works… ---

Ask her why she is so angry with herself and lovingly let he know that she will never be able to have a succesful loving realtionship till she starts to love and accept herself.
