I was sipping ice water, so I too appreciate the warning. This was hilarious.

I'm a widow with five cats, but I assure these poor misguided incels (or imbeciles) that I'm not wandering around aimlessly, lost and on antidepressants. Where on earth do they come up with such baloney? Their misogyny is so blatant, they should just get a tattoo on their forehead: "I hate females."

You surely have that right, Ms. Massey! Good grief, the amount of time these silly members of the male species spend wringing their hands, trying to avoid looking at the obvious. Couldn't all that time be much better spent educating themselves about the psychological advantages happily single women enjoy?

Nah, I guess they are happier in their (to borrow Mr. Charles Sykes very enjoyable, inimitable phrasing) "...self-created bubbles of reinforcement that lets them lead lives of self-fondling solipsism...".

Sykes really nailed that one.

Emphatically YES, he did. I LOVED that phrase and the whole article so much that I wrote down the whole thing just to reread for my own enjoyment.

Mr. Sykes might have offered a bit more courtesy--as you did--and warned his readers ahead of time about the dangers of non-swallowed liquids prior to reading the piece. I had to take my keyboard apart and wipe it down. That "cuppa tea" went everywhere.
