*seethe* is right. i cannot stand feeble attempts at bonding by people who can't come up with something better than an old sexist stand-by. i am working up to being able to say "i know you mean well, but that's a really sexist remark, and we're not the kind of people who want to perpetuate those", instead of making some snarky remark to make the person feel bad.
