Dan: If you have to TELL us you're smarter than you look, then you are probably not smarter than you look.
Shirin: I was really hoping your "I slaughtered a rabbit" would be followed by "and then I ate it." Because, otherwise, you're just a rabbit killer (or a liar).
Rodney: If you have to TELL us that you're lovable (according to your mommy), then you are probably not lovable.
Joe: I kind of might love you a little bit.
Jeff: Your Botox joke had me laugh out loud. Well done.
I'm not usually super sensitive to sexism, but tonight had me wincing more than once (so I know it had to be bad). I agree with the opinion that Dan's was almost worse than Rodney's. Rodney you can just write off as a misogynistic oaf and largely ignore everything he says (including the whole "If we were back home, I'd grab her by the hair and spank her like a bad baby," which was...gross). With Dan, it was more subtle, as he "identified" the differences between how men and women listen. It wasn't just that he gave a gross overgeneralization (ripped straight from the pages of John Gray, but whatever). It was that, as he was listening "how a woman listens" and describing it in his TH, he was clearly condescending towards that "type" of listener. He was basically "men fix, women smile and nod." Which is sad, because wasn't he the one, in the first episode, to immediately correct Jeff's "they're your brothers" comment to "my brothers and sisters" (or something like that)?
And then with Jeff practically orgasmic over the almost all-male team, there was so much testosterone oozing out of my television, I think I may have sprouted a mustache.
Edited to add: I just reread what Rodney said about grabbing her by her hair and realized that I can't ignore it. It was hateful, degrading, and wholly unnecessary (and not at all funny, which he clearly thought it would be).
