The title? Is it an analogy for the male bloggers in our group?
(or am I messing about because nothing else explains my annoyingly random nature?)

I thought of something today...(cue: that joke about someone actually *thinking* for once....yawn)
Males and Females have different defence strategies. And that's one of the reasons that men think women are devious whereas women think men are dumb oafs.

Let me explain : its simple , really. (also probably been done before,...but meh)
Male : physical beating up.
Female : mental beating up.

We simply don't have the strength to put up a fight against the person who offended us. Put yourself in this position: You walk around in a nightclub and some bastard grabs your ass like its his personal pincushion.
You:
a) Give him a playful glance and pretend it didnt anger you.
b) Slap him indignantly and make the face to go with it, right before storming off.
c) Throw some sniding remark that hurts a little more than his ego.

Not a : I don't see why we should tolerate this. It simply sucks, that's why.
While youre trying to have a good time youre reminded that in the end, youre just a part of the decoration. There for his perusal. (note: I'm NOT applying this to all males, just the ones who think its fun to display said behaviour)

Not b : If you dont play along, youre seen as unfun, a spoilsport (cos he "just made a joke") . So youre either a willing doll or a unwilling spinster, it boils down to that. And really, doing that makes you look stupid while he and his mates have a laugh about it not hurting and her being "a feisty little b****"

So you can see how C is the only real option here. If we can't swing a fist to your jaw we have to screw with you mentally. I now remember how cleverly this fits in with EJ's theory.
But its only fair im afraid. We can't do nothing.

And I realise this sounds hecticly feminist, but its not , im just trying to explain our "strange" behaviour.

*sigh*
The fight isnt over , kids.
