Brandon, the perennial graduate student, comes to every GAP.  This time, he brought his friend, Aaron, whose main sticking point was that we are calling aborting women Nazis, despite our prominent declaration to the contrary.

Joanna explained to him why that wasn’t the case, but he stuck to his guns, seeing himself as a champion for women.

Overhearing him, Alice walked up.  She was the epitome of cool.  She had long messy hair and a cigarette in hand.  “I have had an abortion.  I have 2 kids now.  I don’t see anything calling me a Nazi.”

Oh but she was wrong!  Her poor woman brain couldn’t understand!  And so Aaron proceeded to mansplain to her that GAP was calling her a Nazi and she should be offended.

Alice was unfazed.  Puffing on her cigarette, she calmly spoke in a soft voice, explaining to Andrew that she was not being called a Nazi and therefore had nothing to be offended about.  Her calm and cool demeanor diffused the situation and Aaron was forced to go mansplain to someone else.

GAP is like a box if chocolates.  Ya neva know watt yore gonna gay-yet.
