If you’re the only doctor on staff when this ends up happening, and they both knock each other out, which DC restaurant do you plan on ordering a sandwich from? I’m a big fan of ham and turkey, with lettuce and tomato. Who makes the best Turkey Club in DC?

They deserve each other

They have incredibly punchable faces

Bitches be crazy.

Is this a legitimate concern/prediction or just casual sexism?

How is it sexism? People are expecting Elon And Zuck to fistfight.

It's actually more predictable for men to get in fistfights with each other.

It would be sexist if people thought they wouldn't just because they're women.

If two men were at each other's throats a casual "they're gonna end up kicking the shit out of each other, bet" wouldn't be entirely unexpected. Why do you think it's sexist?

@RGB3x3
Some people like to see (and encourage) "catfights".

[–] elscallr@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Watching people pummel the shit out of each other has been a source of entertainment for humanity since the first two people did it.

And you can't imagine someone wanting two female-bodied people to fight for reasons that differ from why they'd want to see two male-bodied people fighting? Sure, sure you can't. ✌🏿

I put my money on MTG. Then again I feel like that's just become my default in politics.

[–] HandsHurtLoL@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Well MTG does CrossFit, so she is probably the stronger of the two. But she also has just more pure surface area of face which makes Boebert's ability to land a punch higher.

Hard to tell who would win.

Everyone watching.

No one wins, unfortunately.
