Curious alleys

I’m not surprised. I’d be happy to be surprised, but I’m not.

Remember Joyce Carol Oates when Charlie Hebdo was given an award by PEN America? She protested the award. Not the murderous attack on Charlie Hebdo, but the award to Charlie Hebdo.

Also, she’s a very bad writer.

    But what if a man faced a gorilla in his restroom? Would that be more/less/the same scary as an armadillo? I think I know the answer…

    iknklast, given the proportion of men who believe they could take a gorilla in an unarmed fight…

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    ibbica, that’s probably true. Most of the men I know actually probably couldn’t take an armadillo in an unarmed fight, but most of the men I know these days are geriatric, so maybe when they were younger…

    When a bloke sneers that he’d love to be sexually harassed in the toilets, I know that he’s thinking about young, pretty women; so I prefer to ask him “What if you were being sexually harassed in the toilet by a sumo* wrestler in a dress? Because that’s about the strength difference and level of attraction for any female victim of male sexual harassment.”

    *Presumably male. Are there female sumo wrestlers yet?

    Don’t armadillos just curl into a ball? You can just pick it up and dump it in the waste can.

    Definitely no on the gorilla though… and I really don’t want to be sexually harassed while I’m pissing even if it’s one of my fantasy crushes doing it. Not at all fun…
