Re: this chick is fat, yo
Elaine,
"The poster of the above quote assumed (as part of his stereotype of women) that the wife was stupid and that's why she thought she should play Helen. But in fact, the wife is not stupid, as the husband pointed out. She was insecure at worst and joking at best. But the poster just took the opportunity to espouse his contempt for women and his belief that we're stupid, thus the quote makes a perfect example of OOT misogyny"
Please. How about the poster was using a bit of hyperbole to make a point that women often get into silly arguments over stupid stuff like this that just make no sense at all?
Have you ever pointed to a really attractive woman and asked your SO if he thinks that woman is hot? Have you ever asked how you look in a certain dress and then gotten in an argument over the response you got? Perhaps you don't do these things, but many women do. And, oftentimes, the whole premise for the resulting argument is indeed pretty stupid.
Do guys do their own share of stupid stuff? Yes. I could say "Why are guys so stupid? If you don't know how to get on the freeway and you are at the f'in gas station, why don't you just ask the attendant instead of driving off and guessing?" Would that indicate some hatred of men? Because according to you, apparently it would.
When people say stupid stuff on these forums, they get called stupid. Every day countless guys are called stupid on this board. Is that indicative of some widespread contempt towards males on this forums?
