Personally, I did find it funny, but then I think it would be no less funny as "lol boyfriends amirite".

But I say this from the perspective of the less oppressed gender. I think if I were on the other side, perhaps I would be disheartened by little things like this.

I think we all know when you stop to think about it, that when you're frustrated, or seemingly on the "losing" side it is much easier to become angered and increasingly frustrated by even mostly insignificant actions of those on the "winning" side. With that in mind, I find it's best to try to be extra compassionate when you find yourself on the fortunate side of chance.

Sorry to detour from technical discussion, and I see the title is now changed. Great blog post! Nice no nonsense expansion.
