Happily, I didn't scream (although I did holler for my husband to come up from the basement). I don't think I screamed the first time I did it, or the time the needle went through the nail, came out, went halfway back again, and broke. It happens so fast and the shock is so sudden, nothing comes out. After the whole thing is over and the bleeding is staunched, THEN I go to pieces. But I did make my entire yoga class go "Eeeewwwwwh" when they asked why my finger was all bandaged up the next day.

Women who start foaming at the mouth and spewing insults when you fail to conform to their notions of proper feminist behavior.
I have actually never encountered the opposite: a similar reaction to lack of traditionally feminine behavior. Go figure.

Sadly, I have encountered both. Unfortunately, in my humble opinion, neither type displayed anything I would consider "proper" behavior for a human being. If they had, they'd have kept their opinions to themselves rather than find fault in someone else for not sharing them. *sigh*
