This is to settle a debate. I checked around online, surprisingly no luck. Also please specify whether "having a good business sense" implies having the urge to make [lots of] money, or if (in regards to the definition) you think the desire to make money is separate from the ability to do so.

For instance, when people on here respond to your questions/polling etc., there is blatant disregard for punctuation, spelling and capitalization. Are we really that busy, or is it merely laziness?

I've always thought only guys used these sexual puns when speaking about misfortunes. i.e.: "I went to pick up my car from the mechanic, and he charged me $500 for the repair...What else could I do but bend over and take it in the rear!"

Now lately I've been hearing this kind of talk from women as well.
Which is strange to me. Since women actually do get "screwed" and "bent over and taken in the rear."

The semantics of these phrases is based on the heterosexual/homophobic male's understanding that the screwer and screwee have vastly differing opinions of the experience--Essentially, the pleasure of the experience belongs entirely to the screwer, and the screwee, well, the screwee just gets screwed. Same goes for the person who gets bent over.

How do women feel when hearing/using this pun. Does it demean them? Does it counter their sexual perspective? How can you use these puns, while (assuming ur sexually active) enjoying the acts that the puns allude to?
It is paradox, no?
