Sorry guys, but most of you have a wrong idea about girls. Here are some facts about me, just so that you know what you are talking about next time...

1)I am a girl.
2)I love maths.
3)I am smarter than any cheater out there, thing is that I find cheating pointless.
4)Most women I know are smarter than any man I know.
5)I 've never played with any doll. I 've always loved fast cars instead. (Of course, with fast cars I don't necessarily mean cars that go over 400Km/h. A proper fast car corners better than that 2-ton Bugatti Veyron, so on a mountain road a Noble M600 is faster than the speeded-up version of the VW Golf. Almost all the roads have corners.)

OK, I think I broke that silly stereotype of the girl that has to be a kitty and play with dolls. In case I failed, I 'll try again. I am not used to quitting.

Nonsense. There are no girls on the internet.

I love that vostro can make a troll thread, people riff on the chauvinism, and REAL LIFE GIRLS (!) fall into the trap and write exhaustive theses on how they don't fit into the "girlie" stereotype.

kudos...or should that be cooties?

I think the problem with girls is that they don't understand jokes, especially satirical jokes. Not a single one.

I'm disgusted with so many stereotypes. There are girls who like Warlight, they are called "lesbians".

Heh. It really was a mistake to bump this thread. Oops. Best to quietly let it die away again...

well i will be QUIET , oops

trumad, was that last sentence a riff on chauvinism, or are you trolling?

i'm a girl. i just covered that board in pink. just because i like makeup and shoes doesn't mean i can't punish a game of strategy.

WTF! Guys!!!!!!!!!! You should be ashamed. Yes I am a girl, and there are lots of us playing warlight.

Girls, you don't really think we're taking it seriously? We just love sarcasm.

Btw. I'd like to proudly announce that right now bytjie is officially #1 in 1vs1 ladder ;) Congrats!

It may seem like we are being over deffensive and loosing our sense of humour. However if this post had been about race it would be a whole other matter. So please just think about it.

Cassie and Angel, however noble their intention, really prove Trumad's statement...
Perhaps we should set up a game between two all-star teams of men and women. To show who's best *for once and for all*... well, till a next game is held, that is.

@ Domenico - this one is nearly 3 years old now courtesy of Troll:

btw - I thought the first page of this thread was hilarious ;)

The problem doesn't have to do with us "not understanding jokes". It actually is that men can't make up good jokes. Sorry to burst your bubbles, guys, but if the intention of this thread was to make us laugh, its quality is so much below zero that we can't even laugh at it... Make up a decent joke and then we 'll talk.

Actually that is the point of the joke, it's so bad it's funny. Watch this joke:

-Bartender says: "W don't serve faster than light neutrinos in that bar"
A neutrino walks into the bar

It's a very bad physics joke, but the fact that you get why it's so bad makes you laugh. People from Poland would immediately understand, what a Strasburger's joke would be, just that kind. It's bad, stereotypical, has no surprise ending or twist, just oure stupidity and enjoyment;)
Also responding to my dear angel, I actually don't think it'd matter if that post was about race, I actually love racist jokes and black humour. That alone of course does not prove I am a racist (which I am not). If someone starts a thread about jokes, I promise I'll contribute;)

I started this thread not with the intention of making girls like this :


well sorry if i had hurt anyone .....

actually angel, there was a segment on the daily show yesterday with a similar premise, except it was about how ann coulter said on fox news that black republicans are better than black democrats.

looks that this thread will not die easily :-)

@szeweningen : you are mixing fire and water.
"Strasburger's joke" might be funny in a way you described even though they are anything but brilliant, but only if they are not mean, derogatory. Racist jokes and black humor might be funny even though they are mean, derogatory but only if they are brilliant and witty.

If you make a racist (sexist,derogatory) joke and it's not witty but lame, you have nothing to hide the "meaniness", the hurtful element of it. You are not witty - you are mean!

Take those two jokes, they have the same idea behind it, but first is not witty while the second is ( my opinion ):

1."i hope fizzer will soon make a better version for girls ...{ having pink theme } with Barbie doll maps ...."
2."Maybe instead of starting with 5 armies on each territory it could be that you start with 4 armies on each territory ánd one Barbie doll. That would definitely attract a lot of girls."
If this thread consisted of only jokes of the second kind I think the protests would be a lot weaker.


Generally I think that sexist jokes are lame and I understand that at least some of the girls feel offended. I would feel the same if this thread was about Polish jokes - most of them are lame , some are really mean, never want to hear more than one at a time and even though I have pretty thick skin, I would have felt obligated to confront the perpetrators .

Myself, I like risky jokes but if someone feels offended, even if I don't understand why, I do apologize and hopefully thats that. But I never try to talk sense into person that was the butt of the joke : "NO,No listen , I called you a slave and its funny because your granddad was a slave. You just don't understand jokes, especially satirical jokes ."

So, what you're saying is that this wouldn't be the best time to whip out the old classic Napoleon quote: "Women are nothing but machines for producing children"? Understood. Understood. I'll keep that one under wraps until a more suitable time presents itself.

Agreed. It just takes looking at things from a perspective that isn't your own. If you've ever been offended by something where others might not understand why you were offended, then it's easy to understand how someone else could be offended by a joke you found harmless. And on a semi-related note, I do think people in general get offended too easily over things, but perhaps I have a biased perspective on that.

Also, I have the sad feeling that a lot of the "jokes" in this thread weren't actually jokes, but anyway...
