7. Mock...don't get upset

This topic reminds me of advice I heard years ago on how women should deal with flashers. Instead of showing shock or getting upset or running away, we were advised to laugh at their anatomy and carry on. All of this "he man woman hating" behavior reminds me of "verbal flashers" who think they can control us by making us upset. (Or as they call it..."owning the libs&quot Instead, we should counter it with humor or criticize their insults with something like: "What a lame insult! Can't you think of something more original?"
