New MoC is almost done. In the meantime, have some Twitter shenanigans.
During the heat wave in the Midwest...
@HarriedWizard: Guess my bitching about the heat paid off, at least in Chicago.
@LucyZephyr: I'll be less likely to drive to Chicago and punch you in the nose if you ventas some of that south.
@HarriedWizard: I live to servitas.
@LucyZephyr: :face, meet palm:
@HarriedWizard: Oh, come on, you can't blame me for answering a perfect setup!
@LucyZephyr: Well in that case-- wait... :thinks: No, I think I really can. You are a dorkface.
@HarriedWizard: Unfair. You know I don't call girls names.
@LucyZephyr: If you ever called me a name, I'd be deeply impressed with your progress. Alas. (Jerk.)
@HarriedWizard: I do not understand women.
@LucyZephyr: That's because you constantly focus on perceived differences in gender instead of just interacting.
@HarriedWizard: That's another knock at chivalry, isn't it?
@LucyZephyr: Chivalry is sexism, Harry, sorry to tell you.
@HarriedWizard: I think you'd like Murphy.
@LucyZephyr: We could team up to tie you to a chair and read Gender Studies books aloud to you.
@HarriedWizard: You know, that idea is kinda hot.
@LucyZephyr: SEE? THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! :face in hands:
Wherein we have odd conversations...
@HarriedWizard: Gentleman John Marcone could double for the title character in "Jaws." That is one icy, scary son of a bitch.
@LucyZephyr: Not the title character of... um.... fuck, why are there no horror movies about tigers?
@HarriedWizard: I've made the tiger analogy before, but he's a little scarier than Rajah in "Aladdin."
@LucyZephyr: Now imaging Marcone as Rajah and Ivy as Jasmine. Come on, that fits pretty well.
@LucyZephyr: Nicodemus is Jafar. You're probably Aladdin, saving the day. I think that makes Kincaid Sultan. I should stop talking now.
@LucyZephyr: No, wait, you're the genie, obviously. The whole magic thing.
@HarriedWizard: Not sure, but I think you just called me fat.
@LucyZephyr: No, I called you Robin Williams, which is unspeakably worse.
Wherein Harry does not get gender equality. At all.
@HarriedWizard, talking to @JohnMarcone about dating (long story): Yeah, well, I don't get my "dates" at Executive Priority, John.
@LucyZephyr: Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, don't you *dare*, I will kick your ass! Stuff the sexism.
@HarriedWizard: Hey, watch with the name calling there!
@LucyZephyr: Oh like the Baron doesn't have every printed record of you life already. Have you *met* the man?
@LucyZephyr: And the name calling is *warranted*. You start slut-shaming, I will drive from FL to Chicago and punch you.
@HarriedWizard: Slut-shaming?
@LucyZephyr: Enforcing your narrow-minded ideas of how women should handle their bodies when it's not your place.
@LucyZephyr: Please, explain to me in detail what is wrong with the women of Executive Priority. I'm *so* interested.
@HarriedWizard: That's not even...Christ, that's not even what I was saying!
@LucyZephyr: Then *what* is wrong with John dating someone who works at EP?
@HarriedWizard: I didn't say there was. It wasn't about them; it was about HIM.
@LucyZephyr: Uh huh, yeah, no, honey. You were talking about the "dates" he gets there. :crosses arms:
@LucyZephyr: Just hang your head, say you're sorry, and hush up, sweetheart.
@HarriedWizard: Ugh.
@LucyZephyr: Yeah, how do you think I feel about it? :sighs: Christ, Harry.
@HarriedWizard: I don't understand women.
@LucyZephyr: That's because you are sometimes a sexist cock.
@JohnMarcone: Well, @LucyZephyr, you and @HarriedWizard are having a fascinating exchange, I see.
@LucyZephyr: I abide slut-shaming about as much as you abide involving children in crime.
@HarriedWizard: I don't even know what the hell slut-shaming IS.
@LucyZephyr: NO SHIT REALLY? I *never* would have guessed! (I am being *deeply* sarcastic.)
@JohnMarcone: Lucia, Dresden is lost in archaic ideas and a young man's drive. He simply cannot help himself.
@HarriedWizard: I do NOT need your goddamned help, Marcone.
@LucyZephyr: Could you give him a desk job at EP for a week or something? Maybe that'll help? :sighs:
@JohnMarcone: He has consistently declined employment offers. Furthermore, my insurance premiums would skyrocket.
@LucyZephyr: Maybe I can get a spray bottle and hit him with water every time he says something sexist, like a cat?
@HarriedWizard: You know, I'm RIGHT HERE reading this crap.
@LucyZephyr: Then take it as a hint. John > You on gender issues, and that's just sad (no offense, John, you're a Don).
@JohnMarcone: Not a Don, Lucia, but a businessman. And I know to treat people equally, according to their individual qualities.
@LucyZephyr: Oh, John. I'm over here sighing girlishly and I don't even swing your way.
@JohnMarcone: What an exceptionally flattering thing to say, Lucy. Thank you.
@CyrinellaJ, re: using a spray bottle on Harry: I think Harry would respond to positive training better. Treats every time he says something not sexist!
@HarriedWizard: So let's be clear: even if I don't mean to be sexist, even if I try to treat women like ladies, I'm still sexist?
@CyrinellaJ: Yes. Treat women as people. "Treat them as ladies" has so much baggage I can't even.
@LucyZephyr: When you treat someone differently because of their gender, YES.
@HarriedWizard: I'm going to Mac's to get an ale or four and see if sometime, somewhere, somehow, I will learn to understand the opposite sex.

Date: 2012-01-19 05:21 am (UTC)Harry seems to have some problems grasping the inherent sexism that isn't prostitution that he encodes in his references to the women working there.
I sometimes think he's been taking belated cues from Michael and Charity as surrogate parents-modeling-relationship-rules.
