You know the phrase "Men are from Mars, Women from Venus"?
 Well, here's an "old joke" example:

At least you can still buy them beer!

Beer for your Girlfriends and wives

A problem is that other things grow too!

Hehe

Well, they have proved that beer contains oestrogen.
Yes.
When 100 men were given beer before a driving test, it was discovered that they started to drive like women  :-P

All women are crap at driving.  But then again, so are all men.

Should I tell myself that with or without the emoticon?

If I made a derogatory generalisation based on a racist cliche and appended a "smilie" it would not be OK.

So why is it ok if its a sexist cliche?

Mel, it was a joke.
You will find that I have a very good attitude towards women generally and it is in your best interest to find out something about me before slagging me off.
If you want to get even then you can post a similar joke, I can take it.
You've been here for a grand total of 5 days and you've got 10 posts, yet you feel inclined to pull me up on that?
I suggest you lighten up a bit.

@x-ray & Mel_zoom

Your exchange reads like the   Tandem Writing Assignment  :-P


A Tale of Two Cities
by Dickens, xray, & Mel_zoom

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct to hell"...

When 100 men were given beer before a driving test, it was discovered that they started to drive like women.

And off her head comes! Now, a child. Tickle, tickle; Pickle, pickle! And off its head comes!'"
