Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey, I've already done it twice and once with the dreaded "I said that somewhere else" shtick. So um. Go to bed?

Allyson, the people who are pissing you off will continue to piss you off and will and no point, hand to god, suddenly turn around and post "Wow! You're right! I totally see how that objectifies women and would make a woman working in that field feel uncomfortable. There is a patriarchal society that makes assumptions based on sex! I was stupid not to see it before." They will continue to sit there and be wrong in their wrongness.
Hope that helps!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Allyson, it's not worth the aggrevation anymore. You'll dilute your point. They don't deserve any more of your spicy brains.
sara, I'm just about ready to go in for a rewatch. You're more than welcome to come on over. DJ, I'm slain right along with you.
Edited for pointed overuse of the word "point."

...and I just read the comments that I'm sure provoked you and now I'm saying...I'm going to bed. I fucking hate the "oh, it's harmless because it doesn't do anything to ME" response when it's already been stated that it is a fucking problem for a fuckload of others. And it is nearly one ay em and... erm.

Allyson, I'm going to point at what DaisyJane said, especially. You won't get them to change their minds, and (as MFNlaw point out), they don't deserve more of your brilliance.

You know, I hadnt thought once about getting them to change their minds.
I mostly thought about going brain damage on them and making them cry.
I'm sure I could.
But then, you know, I don't do that anymore.
Because while it makes me feel better, it usually makes innocent bystanders feel like crap.
I'm trying to keep my inner troll in check.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
This is why I prefer to laugh and point at people who disagree with my clearly correct and well thought out opinions.
I'm up for a rewatch Maria!

It is hard to point and laugh when it is people you might have to deal with on a daily basis. I get that. I get the need to make them cry. It's just... ime, they are so fucking oblivious, they don't know what shame is. And what shame others might heap upon them, they've acquired on their own, though they remain oblivious. But I still want to bash their heads with it.
OK, REALIO TRULIO going to bed now.

Ah, okay. They're still not worth your time. Plus I don't know if going brain damage on them will make you feel oodles and oodles better.
