Woman smiling Man smiling

No matter how sweet, pretty, and nice a woman is, there is a man somewhere who was happy to get rid of her.

If she is trying to be funny, she is failing miserably. Maybe that's why she has little to smile about.
We get mammograms, they get Viagra

To: FairWitness
I'm smiling because now everyone knows this woman is an idiot.

As a prostate cancer survivor, I did not find that particularly funny either.

Such a waste of space :(

Woman's a fool.
A more accurate comparison would be -
We get mammograms, they get prostate exams.
So what. Life's like that. Some things are uncomfortable. But it beats not finding breast or prostate cancer until it's Stage IV.

Our posts crossed.
My dad's a prostate cancer survivor too. Best of luck to you. We'll go on dealing with real life while people like this idiot woman waste their time feeling sorry for themselves.

This column suggests men are better writers and humorists, too.

Our smiles are shouting: Don't take us seriously. Walk all over us! You look tired. Can I make you a nice sandwich? . . . . .
Well, I think we are making a mistake doing all this smiling.
This is bizarre. People usually smile when they are happy. This woman seems to quite literally want women to smile less, and be less happy, so that they can make more money and run more fortune 500 companies.
And they call this womens liberation? How ideologically bankrupt can they get?

Well, if joining the club at Augusta is her measure of success, I'll propose a swap - she can have my membership, I want her ability to have multiple orgasms. Deal?
To: FairWitness
I recall a legal case (Arizona I believe) stating it was unlawful to charge a higher cost for female pension plans due to life expectancy but it is perfectly acceptable to use life expectancy to determine male life insurance rates.
Maybe that is what is causing all the jockularity?

I do smile and laugh a lot, but that has nothing to do with my gender.

Amen brother.
Im CONVINCED the Romans and Spartans had it right. Home for 5 months, make a baby, then off again for 5 years to fight another war.
Good times they must have been.

They are crazy that's why they smile.

You wanna p*ss off a woman, preferably a complete stranger? Maybe give her fleeting homicidal fantasies?
Walk up to her as she's simply going about her business, perhaps engrossed in thought, and bellow,"SMILE!!!" at her. Or maybe "witty" variation on it, like, "Come on, smile-it can't be that bad" or "Who died?"
Even Florence King once wrote a long column about men who do that to women, and how often it happened to her when she was younger. To judge from a long and heated online discussion we had over ona different website, this is a pretty common thing for women: Having complete strangers feel free to tell you what facial expression they're allowed to have in public.
I *think* this article is trying to make the point that women smile 'too much', and they do it not because they're happy , but because they think they 'have to' as part of being a 'people pleaser'. Or something like that. Actually, I can't figure out if the article is serious or not.

We get to give birth, they get to join Augusta, and WE'RE smiling? I wonder if this wo-man has ever given birth? It was by far the most joyous time in my life (amidst all the screaming and pain), to see that small miracle emerge wide eyed and ready to take on the world. This somehow is supposed to compare to a golf course? How???
