First season Miranda would do the same with current Miranda.
/sigh.

- Can you get a conviction removed just because you completed your probation?
- Heidi Montag no way are you a friggin C cup. I'm a C cup and my breasts are a quarter of the size of yours.

How 'bout this: People(read:men) who say that women aren't funny have been, universally, in my experience, unfunny and misogynistic.

This is my difference with most of my straight white male friends -- they'll still laugh when someone calls someone else a faggot or a bitch because they do something vaguely feminine, or at the South Park episode where Hillary has a 'snude' (a nuke in her snatch). If its making fun of someone at their expense, that's where I draw the line, because I know what its like to be on the receiving end of sexist or racist humour. Its not that someone has made fun of me directly, say, its being in the same room when someone makes a sexist joke, and you're the only one who doesn't find it hilarious. Its even worse when other girls in the room laugh along with the guys, because they don't want to look as if they can't take a joke, or they're too sensitive.
Its always incredible to me how otherwise caring and compassionate people can not understand how certain kinds of humour can be genuinely offensive, because they have never been placed in a situation where they are part of the marginalized group. More women than men have had that experience, simply because they are female. Therefore, we're less likely to engage in mean-spirited jokes, because we generally know the damage it can do.
Of course, when we point out how some jokes probably shouldn't be told, we're considered too much of a buzzkill to be funny.
