HOW TO HANDLE STUPID PEOPLE

And by stupid I mean sexist, racist and homophobic; the worst kind of stupid there is.

You know that guy that always remarks that you'll never get a boyfriend because you're too much of a feminist? Or those church friends that show disgust when they see two guys arm in arm? Even those times you were right in the middle of events that show the underlying institutional racism that we have eluded (or tried to, at least) all these years (*hint*, Shimla Park)?

Well luckily for you, I have the perfect guide on how to handle it like a boss!

STEP 1

BREATHE. You remember how to do that right? Take a moment to just relax. You can use this as an opportunity to practice that 2017 New Years resolution of being more mindful and living in the moment.

STEP 2

Approach them like they're a human being and not, you know, a stupid, ludicrous idiot from Pluto. I mean, it's not their fault that they were dropped on the head as a baby. Even nincompoops deserve some respect.

STEP 3

Think happy thoughts. There are a lot of amazing things happening in the world. Like the Netherlands setting up an international abortion fund. There is still hope in the human race!

STEP 4

Calmly point out their flawed opinion, illustrate to them in simple English (Or monkey language, if that's their kinda thing) the way things work in this new liberal world of ours and what the facts actually are. EDUCATE DEM!

STEP 5

If all else fails just spray Doom on them.
