I see where you're coming from, Susan, and I agree -- if I was in one of my dreadfully serious sombre moods, I'd see it as a form of male-bashing too. And it wouldn't be funny at all. But today, nah ... I see it as an opportunity to laugh at oneself and/or the human condition in general.

To illustrate, here's a couple quotes from a guy whose smarts, sensitivity and sense of humour I've always admired. I bet my bottom dollar he has no problem whatsoever laughing at himself!

"See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time".

"Ah, yes, divorce... from the Latin word meaning "to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet".

- Robin Williams
