Via Feministing (via Yglesias): A 77 year old German sues a 19 year old for not putting out after having been wined and dined. She said he was too old for her.

“That was shattering. No woman has ever said that to me before,” Eden told the tabloid. “I was crushed.” He has filed charges with the prosecutors’ office, he said. “After all, there are laws against discrimination.”

Funny stuff. You’d think anyone would be able to enjoy in this lovely little bit of absurdity. But you’d be wrong. Feministing comments:

This guy sounds just awful. He once wrote, “I would like to die as I have lived — on a woman.”

Double-ha!

I’m for women having equal rights and being treated respectfully (while preserving my rights to use the c-word in fits of pique) as much as the next socially liberal guy. But seriously, my feminist friends, you don’t find this character at all funny? Not witty, not brilliant. Yes, in poor taste. But come on! Just look at him! This geezer’s pure gold!
