It angers me because I fought a bitter fight to get feminism back on track and be pro-sex at the same time. This is degrading the entire pro-sex wing of feminism." A pro-sex feminist! These wimmin are obviously out to exploit us blokes. Shame on them! What's feminine for misogynist? From Mark’s link:

I think another point about the joke you might have missed, though, is that many many blondes are fake blondes, blonde being such a sexy hair colour that it collects imitators. But there are some characteristics you simply can't imitate, and it must be obvious the blonde in the joke was a natural-born blonde. Glad you liked my little ha-ha, whyisheso.

What a concept. I had never imagined that such excellent opportunities for mirth and merriment could be generated by ridiculing those with an unusually high level of the pheomelanin pigment in their hair. I shall report to Rigel VII that Earth humour is remarkably creative. Also, in the context of this thread, your joke has the advantage of proving the veracity of the hypothesis stated in your first line. Hey, a blonde joke! What a concept.

The pilot handed the controls over to the co-pilot, saying he was married to a blonde, therefore knew how to speak "blonde", and said he'd fix it up. After whispering a few words in the blonde's ear, she meekly got up and moved back to her allocated seat. How did you manage that asked the crew in wonder. Easy says he. I just told her that business class wasn't stopping at Melbourne on this flight! “the ‘men create misogyny’ hypothesis”

My favourite is the chap who writes (apparently seriously) that: <blockquote> What you have to remember is that Hilton and Lohan are probably photographed by the paparazzi at least a few thousand times a year (obviously total picures are much more, but I'm just talking the actual photo opportunities). Of those thousands of events, Hilton has been caught with her beaver exposed only 3 times [!!!] ... There is no crisis here. Even the most demure woman would have nip slips and beaver moments if they were photographed as many times per day as Paris Hilton. </blockquote> So apparently chicks are constantly exposing themselves to all and sundry. I condemn myself for having failed to notice this moving feast of reality porn all around me. Must get stronger contact lenses. That Reason comments thread is a hoot.
