this is a quote from the fucking new york times
read that again: “when they really did dominate the weaker sex”
one more time: “the weaker sex”
apparently, that is me.
perhaps they were implying the idea that women are physically weaker, but that’s a pretty gross generalization even for the times. mentally weaker? how the fuck am i supposed to know, that shit is ambiguous as hell. who fucking approved this story?
i also can’t believe there is already a pity party for the fact that men are being poked fun at in television for being “womanly”. because we all know that men have to be 100% manly and women have to be 100% womanly, at all times, always.
thank you synecdoche for alerting me to this craptastic example of “what the fuck”. you should read her thoughts as well, because they are awesome:
because emasculation comedies are actually offensive to everyone if you keep using “womanly” as an insult. - synecdoche

Ugh. NYT, if you keep this shit up you’ll become the next CNN
