The cat woman comment was funny. It was also dismissive. What I’m unsure of is why it’s assumed a dismissive comment towards a woman must be dismissive solely because she’s a woman.

I stopped watching after 90 seconds because w/o an intro I expect explosions or comedy not an award speech for god knows what. With no background info, this meant nothing to me.

Also, I take umbrage that just because some one has a lot of cats means you don’t find them attractive. Catwoman has a lot of cats, and everyone would do her.

I hope you have gotten laid enough from you allegiance to the lady power movement. Otherwise it doesnt’ seem worth it to have handed in your manhood, though i guess it makes you immune to the cock punch from graham :)

Ahhh crap. I meant “you” instead of “your.”

I have to second clamdouche. And perhaps throw in a cock punch. You might need an intervention Steve. Where your “real” friends shake your loose of the grip from your “web” friends.

And slice it anyway you want, Tom’s post was really funny.

Oh, spare me. She looks like what she is: a middle-aged woman. And since she’s a woman, commenting on her appearance is as far as you have to go to dismiss her. That, my friend, is misogyny. Your tacked-on “No, I’m not bigoted just against women, I’m bigoted against everyone who doesn’t look or act like me,” is just small-minded. Especially given the well-delivered speech, which pretty much makes claims of Digby’s probable social retardation frigging absurd.

And you misspelled stagnant. Cock.

Poof! Down the memory hole.

Goddamn it Steve. We’re frickin complimenting you and saying that you write just as well as the cat piss lady and you should stop slobbing on her knob.

Though, of course, you’ll end up thinking that we’re idiots for not noticing the genius of the cat piss lady, instead of taking it as a compliment.

And if someone on the bus starts talking to you about politics, making very cogent points and with fresh insight, it will be all for naught to me (and to you, I supsect) if she smells like cat piss. That does not make me a misogynist. I suspect you’re not clear on the definition of ‘misogynist’. There’s a difference between hating women, and not taking people seriously who seem like they could potentially be socially retarded.

And you misspelled stagnant. Cock.

And why do cat ladies get so maligned?

Because a woman’s worth depends on her potential sexual availability, of course.

If we’re talking saucy pix of Steve, Kate’s got a doozy. And why do cat ladies get so maligned?

I agree w/ Ananth (but only about the sexy time pic). Based on your comments I’m not sure of your gender and consequently I’m not sure whether I can take you seriously.

Oh, and while Dilbert’s probably super smart, she’s definitely got a ton of cats.

I decry your deriding of my joke making abilities. I have it on good authority (my mother) that I am funny. What you need to do, instead of lambasting your loyal readers, is get a nice make over, and put a sexy time picture of you up on this blog, so that people will take you seriously….

Finally. This thread is getting with the funny.

Hilarious.

It’s just a normal comment thread. I post something, then it goes

Tom: Dismissive misogynist comment.
Steve: Dismay.
Pedro: Sarcasm, statement that he’s too cool to be doing what he’s doing right now. Statement in the form of a question.
Ananth: Tribal Republicanism.
Steve: Explanation for Pedro.
Ananth: I’m-too-cool. Standard “But I’m not one of those *stupid* conservatives” Tribal Republicanism. Assumption of bad faith.
Steve: Right back at you.
Ananth: Everything’s equivalent. Return to childhood?
Graham: Also too cool. Agree with misogyny.
Steve: Goddamned misogynists stinking up my comment thread.
Ananth: Joke of some sort.
Nicole: Confusion.

See? Pretty standard for around here.

I’m confused.
