There are different kinds of "joking" in this context. If you're confused by that statement, I refer you to the agnostic thread, where it has been decided by a number of people that words can mean whatever the f$#% you want them to mean.

True. I just dunno why you're asking him why he cares if he's not pregnant?

I care about them just as much as I care about you or any other person alive.

That's a problem then. It's either fetuses (which aren't even persons) or women's bodily rights.

Yes, Evie, I understood that. I think I'm beggining to understand why we have such conversational problems, though.

It's because I'm shit at explaining and you get frustrated easily

That's not so black and white, and when I said I cared as much about them as I do about people, I didn't mean to say I care the same amount for both, I said that merely to emphasize the fact that I care about them more as people than as simple bodily parts, which I don't think they simply are.

No, it's either, and I'm going to be brutally honest here, because I'm far more intelligent than you are, or because you think me far more stupid than I am.

Draw whatever conclusions you like from that. I'm just glad you're not doing a childish thing like getting offended over nothing or some such like.

Passive aggressiveness level 9999. Ok, I can see this turned to shit as well. Sigh. Oh well.
