Heh, it's interesting how tolerant we get of certain stuff when we find someone sufficiently cute. :-D
As for the "men are from Mars" crap, I've also firmly squelched that one, including from a few of my nearest-and-dearest. One of the guys at work sent me one just yesterday, and was taken-aback that I didn't find the "all men are dorks just waiting for women to manipulate them" thing funny in the slightest. Because, you know, us big butch feminists are supposed to feel as much contempt/resentment for men as unreconstructed idiots of either gender feel for the opposite one.
I suppose one could look at it as being a sign of "progress" that there is equally offensive sexist material flying around at the expense of men as of women... but, funnily enough, I don't see it that way. :-/
