    What's gender got to do with it?

    I'm probably not the only one here who has spent an inordinate amount of time laughing at the moronic things that come out the mouth of George W Bush (or Dan Quayle). They're on youtube. It's not gender based hatred. Stupid people saying stupid things are funny.
