Men Are Easy Targets

Man: Fuck yeah!

Me: Thank-you for your contribution. So, if men are easy targets, why is this?

Man: Whaddya mean, “if?”

Me: Well, it’s up for debate isn’t it?

Man: Like fuck it is. I’m off.

Me: Stupid cow.

So, if men are easy targets, why is this?

Is it because too many men are made up of compressed sisal fibers glued to a backing board held together by an outer metal band?

Woman: You’ve just described a dartboard.

OK, so, is it because too many men are the eighth largest retailer in the United States?

Woman: You’ve just described the Target Corporation.

OK, so, is it because too many men are sexist? Too many men tolerate sexism?

Woman: Yes.

Me: Well, that was an easy solve wasn’t it?

Even though “not all men” has become a bit of a cliché, it’s not actually all men who are the problem. Generalisations help no one.

So, to summarise, in this sometimes heated debate about some men and women, we need less generalisations and more, more…. What rhymes with generalisations?

Woman: I’d go with nuance.

So, to summarise, we need less generalisations and more nuanceisations.

Next week:

White people be racist.
