Obviously I can’t speak for **Sarahfeena** , but I’d guess she’s speaking of his overall body of work and less to do with the specific things you’ve outlined. Your “clever” assumption that she’s part of the fat brigade is completely incorrect, btw. ---

He mentioned she “was not a slender woman.” SDMB fat brigade to the rescue! Well, obviously I have to be careful what I say here, since I don’t want to rack up another warning. But…it’s obviously not acceptable for her to let he kid run around kicking people. So, that’s not it. If you mean by “member of the fat brigade,” I’m actually not fat, and I didn’t see where he said that about her not being slender anyway, so that’s not it. The reason I said it was because he has a tendency to say things that I find to be rather sexist, and this is just another lovely example. ---

> [@Sarahfeena](#): > > … sexist, and this is just another lovely example. **Sarahfeena** ’s nailed me precisely. I would definitely give a pass to a father who was neglecting his two-year-old boy while talking on his cell phone with his huge balls hanging out of his thong. I admit, I was just picking on the woman because she was a woman, not because she was behaving obnoxiously. :rolleyes: ---

If you had said that every heterosexual woman on the train wanted to teabag him, I would have still thought you were being obnoxious. See, I didn’t say you were picking on her because she was a woman, it was because you felt the need to discuss her breast size at length and equated her to a stripper. See, I don’t know if I have to explain this to you slowly, but breast size doesn’t have anything to do with obnoxiousness or rudeness. And…I know you were trying to be clever, but…fail. ---

twickster, I was typing that while you posted your instruction, and I just was going to edit it out, but missed the edit window. I’d appreciate it if you would rescind the second warning. ---

> [@Jenaroph](#): > > Stick your face in there and “B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B!” I once shared a weekend with a woman at a nudist camp who had something overwhelmingly redunkulus like a 36 4D- literally almost twice the size of my head, each of them. All weekend long, people would walk up (both male and female) and request to be allowed to ‘motorboat’… I didn’t know what it meant at first, and refused to do it myself. She was a class act dingbat. She had 8 children, and was remarkably svelte of figure, thus making the oversized chest flabbergasting. She’d be past the age of 20’s now, otherwise I would suggest that it was her! ---

See this is the problem with being a new mom. My mom instinct hasn’t yet figured out its bounds. I will tend to say whatever I would say to my own kid to the misbehaving child. I would then amuse the child (just as I do my own while on public transit). I keep pipecleaners in my purse for this purpose (you’d be amazed how one pipecleaner can amuse a child forever). Frankly, half the parents are too tuned out to notice that I chastised their child and the other half will glare and pay some attention to the kid. Either way: the kid stops misbehaving. Problem solved. Aside: PRR, it never ceases to amaze me how enthralled men are by boobs. ---

The only reason that boobs exist is to enthrall men. Other mammals have teats for nursing, but only humans have full, rounded boobs, and it’s all about enthralling men.
