Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 28, 2013
Transcript:
Roland: Shep, I've cornered RNC trainer Byron Coates, on break from the GOP sensitivity sessions. How's it going in there, Byron? Trainer: Not bad. We have a lot of remedial work to do, of course, but I think I'm helping members sort out just how women think. Roland: Okay, so I have to ask the obvious question here, Byron. Trainer: No problem. Roland: Shouldn't you be a woman? Trainer: Ideally. But first we have to build trust.

Sadly sexist surmising solely women can know sensitivity.My tender feelings are hurt.

“It IS a bit of a Catch 22, isn’t it. Can’t we find some way to ignore our poor past planning and get a do-over?”“What are you, a Democrat?”

Pie is easy. Just use pippin apples, picked early in the season do they’re really tart, slice coarsely, pile up really high, add brown sugar and cinnamon. Lattice crust optional.—
“Oh.” “Never mind—-”

I would urge all of you to check out yesterday’s strip and flag the commenter who posted a disgusting photo toward the end of the comments.

Couldn’t find any suitable women — where’d those binders go?

What a bizarre, sexist comment. No men ever think? And women never act based on emotions?

If you can accept the idea that no two snowflakes are the same, why is it difficult to come to the conclusion about a much more complex organism- a woman. At any rate, the GOP doesn’t have a perception problem. They are quite easy to understand. Their problem is that a whole lot of women don’t agree with their official postions on a whole lot of stuff, and trying to convince us that we would love them if we just understood their position is unrealistic and condescending.

I worked at several energy plant constructions sites during the ’80’s and ’90’s… the women in field construction were practically worse than the guys with their hygiene jokes and innuendoes. SHEESH… they were really embarrassing!

“Shouldn’t you be a woman?”.Women cannot understand women either, possibly less then men.The problem with Democrats is they actually think they do. Neither party can win!

Ah, that Trudeau: “just how women think.” Women aren’t amoebas, Garry. THey are individuals. Oh, you silly left wingers, thinking women are all alike, how misogynist.

NSA? After Benghazi, the sequestration debacle. the marijuana tragedy (think pollution/destruction on a massive scale), and so on, Wiener, picking and choosing which laws to obey, and so on, why would the NSA register???

Trudeau is more talented than this. He must be getting very well paid by the DNC to replace his usual humor with this puerile crap.

No, it isn’t. Instead of guessing, you could try actually listening to women.Thanks for illustrating why it had to be a man instead of a woman in this strip – because you do not listen to women.

I’m sure you wouldn’t be indulging in a bit of type-casting, would you now Susan? If you are, maybe I should just bonk you over the head and drag you off to the cave. "Me hunk, you ….. just what are you anyway?

I’ve got some novel ideas on the subject… but my wife sometimes checks up on my comments here.

Thanks for reminding me to flag it today. Though I don’t know why you want to align yourself with a lunatic.

(The 23 December comments in which innocuous conversation is misinterpreted as an insult for unknown reasons, for those who wonder. My best regards to all, even the hypersensitive.)

If he were a woman the GOP wouldn’t listen.

Garry Trudeau, your subtle brilliance always comes through. Best observational/political cartoonist of the last century.
