Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Why, exactly, is the last part of this sentence necessary?

Board Question #87336 wrote:I'm very prone to jealousy, overreaction, and generally being a little dramatic, but not really more than most girls.

I was shocked to see that none of the writers said anything about the blatant misogyny here. Really, most girls are "very prone to jealousy [and] overreaction"—presumably as opposed to the other half of the population? Sure, there are plenty of jealous people who overreact in the world, but it's not exactly a gendered trait.

I get that writers need to be careful about offending people and sometimes just need to answer the question, so I can understand why nothing got said. Still, we live in a world where people are far more likely to dismiss women's emotions as unimportant overreactions than men's, and comments like this just reinforce that behavior.

Yeah that part stuck out to me too, but I've frankly been exhausted all week and didn't have the energy to write a more detailed answer.

Reminds me of the related issue of guys telling girls "You're not like other girls." Like, great, I'd be thrilled to date a guy who apparently thinks that girls are generally full of negative qualities.
