My favourite uncle just tried to talk to me about how the women's movement contributed to the downfall of the white race. Because ladies are too busy "burning their bras" to pump out MOAR WHITE BABIES, and now? NOW there are BROWN PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

I had to force myself to stay calm and say, as pleasantly as possible, "Well, I don't think the 'disappearance' of the white race is such a tragedy- there are too many people on the planet anyway." And then I locked myself in my room and started listening to the Manic Street Preachers so I wouldn't start screaming.

God fucking damn it, WHY YOU GOTTA DRINK THE FAILSAUCE UNCLE MICK.

Today, when we went out to dinner, my little sister tugged on my sleeve and whispered, "The women sitting behind us are talking about your shirt."

(It was this one.)

I looked over my shoulder and lo, a table full of tough-looking older ladies were, in fact, staring at my shirt. I grinned to myself.

"Must be Firefly fans," I said. My mother looked confused, which is mostly how she always looks when I talk about television.

"What's that?" she asked. And I was about to explain to her about how once upon a time there was a show about space cowboys and space courtesans and space doctors and it was (space) awesome, but then one of the women at the table behind us overheard and shouted:

"Joss Whedon! Angel! Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Firefly! Serenity! Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog! Dollhouse, oh God I hope it's good!"

I nodded firmly. "Yeah, Mum," I said, "that. Get with the program already, jeez."

WAS THAT THE END OF THE STORY? OF COURSE NOT. Because just as we were setting our forks aside and asking for the cheque another tough-looking older woman came over to our table and tapped my shoulder, smiling.

"Hey," she said. "I heard you were a fan, so..."

And then she unbuttoned her jacket and showed me her Captain Hammer shirt.
