I need help with a snappy come back to one of my friends chauvinistic husbands reply to a facebook post. I posted a thing that said
I am Female Fe=Iron Male=Man Therefore I am Iron Man. It was a funny joke. This is his reply.
Alright Brooke I hope you are ready for the throw down rebuttal.
When I think of ironman I think....pussy!!! He is basically a glorified inspector gadget in a cool looking suit. When I think MAN I think.....wait for it.... SUPERMAN. What makes superman so super? I am glad you asked. He's just badass. Lasers coming out of his eyes, time travel, flying, super strength....I could go on but I'm tired. What's another name for superman? That's right, the MAN OF STEEL. How do you make steel? That's right, you melt IRON.
To make steel, iron ore is first mined from the ground. It is then smelted in blast furnaces where the impurities are removed and carbon is added. In fact, a very simple definition of steel is "iron alloyed with carbon, usually less than 1%."
So with that being said, The MAN OF STEEL is ironman without all the impurities which make him pure. Pure man. (Drops the mic)
I usually get the best of him but I don't even know what to say to this. I was thinking something along the lines like he admits iron is what makes steel so without iron (fe) his male wouldn't exist. That just isn't that snappy though. Hate to see this nimrod win. Please help.
