I'm too used to being around you people. I made a Jane Eyre joke about the 300 sandwiches guy and no one laughed.
Y'all would have laughed, right?

not your mom's socks.
There are so very few women naval architects and marine engineers that the second-to-last place my sister worked, they had to re-write the staff handbook to include women.
It is still, in some places, bad luck for a woman to touch any moving part on a boat.
My sister has badassed her way through an amazing level of misogyny, stupidity, and comments she should wear a skirt more often.
She's an expert in carbon fiber, wings, and foils. And today, her team won a pretty big race. I'm so unbelievably proud of her. And I just needed to say it somewhere that wouldn't get her in trouble at work.

Tried a chocolate chai latte from Starbucks. Kinda underwhelmed. (Not enough chai)

Someone replied with:
Career man must sort through 300 pairs of jeans to find ones that perfectly fit his girlfriend to earn her marriage proposal
To which I replied:
"Reader, I married him!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Even I get that joke. Come on!

Wait, there are people who DON'T love a "Reader, I married him!" joke? I don't want to know those people.
