Always liked this guy. Good song.

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

Only serves to perpetuate the stale stereotype that women are irrational creatures that espouse jealousy at every given turn. SEXIST.

mike_killroad (July 27, 2012)

*yawn*....whatever you say.

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

*yawn* to examples of blatant sexism? Do you not care that women are made to look INFERIOR by this guy? Where are all the white male singer songwriter songs about jealous BOYS? Oh thats right, they don't exist because men are sooooooooooooo much more confident and emotionally stable. It's degrading. Why don't you care?

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

You need to get laid.

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

SO WHAT if I do? My sexual life has NOTHING to do with the points I'm making. Stop digressing, sexist. There's an anti-women sentiment running wild on this safe haven for bullies and I think it's DEPLORABLE. You're part of that.

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

I got your bully RIGHT HERE!

...I'm pointing at my dick...

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

Typical. It's obvious you hate women, but instead of explaining WHY, you just resort to juvenile jokes. It never ends with this site.

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

You didn't ask why I hate women, but it's because they don't put out and always fuck up my sandwiches.

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

BORING. Your attacks are entertaining nobody, much like this sexist song. Actually...are you Ben Kweller? That would make SO much sense.

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

You figured me out, now get back in the kitchen.

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

It's obvious you're joking, but it's still offensive and has the potential to hurt others. Why don't you CARE?

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

If I start to CARE then I might end up a humorless robo-cunt like you.

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

I'm not humorless, I just don't enjoy hurting others as much as you do.

Sexist language fascinates me. Tell me, what makes one a "robo-cunt" vs a "cunt"? Or is it just more thoughtless rambling?

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

A robo-cunt is like a regular cunt but even more steadfast in cuntiness. It's all right here in this pamphlet.

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

But how does one measure steadfast "cuntiness"? I'm a "robo-cunt" for standing up against offensive music? You must love skrewdriver.

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

You're a "robo-cunt" for calling one person who calls one girl jealous "sexist". Is one sexist for breaking up with their girlfriend? Or perhaps one is sexist for even having a girlfriend in the first place? How does one measure sexism?

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

I'm not measuring anything. A sexist is a sexist is a SEXIST. There are no degrees. I never said one is sexist for breaking up with a girlfriend or having one. But in a society where women are constantly portrayed in a flippant, emotion-over-logic manner, naming a song jealous girl only furthers that stereotype. If you read up on sexist culture, you would know this.

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

I would, but I won't. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go beat a stripper to death with my dick.

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

To continue this discourse with you would only make this thread Skibz-level thin, thus making me nervous that that wannabe rapist might chime in.

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

"I Wanna Be A Rapist" would be an awesome song.

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

It's probably a ben kweller song already!

Cromulent (July 27, 2012)

Then I guess I'll have to change it to "Everyone Must Be Raped"

AlwaysOffended (July 27, 2012)

I think thats Dylan. You're not the first sexist to wanna make music, ya know.
