I
am slightly dismayed at the fact that humour seems to be lacking this week in favour of diatribes that are mostly about how shit women are.

But as an entry into the sexism (albeit from a woman) there is genuinely very little that is funnier than an old person and their attitude towards sexism- especially when you get an old woman who in her heyday was of the burning bras type.

My sister is of the farcial sense of humour. She loves pissing about, fart jokes are the funniest thing in the world to her, but she also has a very dry sense of humour sometimes which people don't recognise because of the lavatorial humour. When she was nine or ten she shocked an old lady who had popped by for a visit, by declaring- with every evidence of truthfulness that all she wanted to do in life was- I quote 'marry a big Italian lawyer, steal all his money and then divorce him.'

The old lady was horrified. In vain all her pleas about haven't girls moved on from being gold-digging slags, rolled off my sisters back (who was watching with delighted fascination,) and she simply reiterated that it was the fastest way to make money.

Strike One
...for the liberalism and honesty of human aspiration.

As for the problem with humanity and relationships, the problem is not that ~50% of the population are female, the problem is that 100% of the population are human.

In the same way that socialism doesn't work (because it fails to take account of human frailty) and relationship where there is no symbiosis will also fail (example: my first marriage. Oops.).

Apologies. Rant over!
