It’s funny, I was just reading another thread and it was totally anti female. I read it all the time on FR. I think there’s a lot of men around her who don’t like having to compete with women. I think they need to pull on their big boy pants and grow up.

Sadly, have you noticed that some women join in? Right here on this thread there are people laughing about women’s “big mouths” and how to shut them up. Genuinely makes my skin crawl.

You know, I, too, make jokes about yentas and overbearing New York women. It’s a staple of humor. But it must be done carefully and not slop over into misogyny. Some of our posters here are fairly humorless and so don’t know how to calibrate jokes.

This was something that Jackie Gleason did so beautifully on “The Honeymooners.” He sent Alice to the moon but she always came back into his arms. But, he was a comic genuis and there ain’t too many like that here, lol!
