Stop bringing up the Tea Party, @TheDemocrats. It sounds whiny.

When they talk about being assaulted, ask the obvious questions: what weapons did they wield? How many elected officials ended up in the hospital?

Oh...You mean it was just a bunch of women yelling in hallways?

MOBS of women following you down the halls? In gangs of, like, 3?

Or even worse, symbolically silencing themselves and looking kind of creepy?

It's uncomfortable to have someone yelling at you because they want something from you, isn't it?

Sounds like what happens to me when I walk two blocks to get my morning coffee still in my pajamas.

Difference is these women can't just take what they want from you... you still have power over them, unlike the men I walk past before I'm caffeinated... or the men who come up behind me in a bar and grab or grind up on whatever they want.

Now, please, tell me again... how were you assaulted by these rabid roving gangs of women?

[ note: you've got to have the right acerbic tone to pull this off; the point is to both undermine the argument that they were "assaulted" while diminishing their 'righteous masculinity' because they're unable to tolerate far less threatening behaviour than women every day... ]

[ because you musn't directly state that women are weak, but imply the tension between the accusation and what they would have experienced had women truly brought symbolic kitchen utensils to threaten and assault is purely absurd ]

[ because this says more about your own fear and weakness... it's the UNCERTAINTY of not knowing what they're going to do after you do what you know is wrong. That's the real root of their fear. ]

[ Knowing what they're doing is wrong, and fearing the consequences. ]
