"IT'S NOT FUNNY!"
Right. How can people smile when right now somebody is trying to immigrate into the U.S.
The feminist position was never that a woman should not smile, just that she should not be bullied into smiling.
Ironically, therefore, harassing a woman for smiling, isn't the opposite of harassing her for not smiling. It's pretty much exactly the same thing.
But you knew that.
It really isn't funny, though.
Well, actually at least partially resistance to smiling was because looking attractive was performing femininity in support of the patriarchy.
Hey Carol, I really like your friendly smile today.
Speaking of squirrels, all my life people in Britain have been bemoaning the decline of red squirrels at the hands of the grey squirrels (bloody American immigrants!). Now it turns out that the little ginger bastards are a reservoir for two kinds of leprosy!
