    Is it appropriate to tell a female she has her panties in a twist?
    I didn't alert but I am curious if it's a gender-based insult or if I'm just being hyper-sensitive.

    No wonder they are so miserable. Everything has to be viewed through some sort of group and the potential of offending them.

    Funny thing is, I've never actually heard it said to a woman. It's usually said to men to imply that they are getting way too in touch with their feminine sides.

    Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!

    Same here. I think it would be extremely boorish and misogynistic to say it to a woman. I prefer a more sensitive approach to the fairer sex and say, "Who flipped your bitch switch?"

    I prefer to say 'don't get your granny panties in a wad' sort of a double bitch slap.
