I've always been pretty good at snappy comebacks, and I've only gotten better in the time I've had to navigate public trolling.
Here's a witty retort I shared on Twitter last weekend:
"Can't you get your uterus removed to stop you being so hysterical?"

"I contend that if men want me to stop being 'hysterical,' then they should remove themselves."
Luckily I was with two men who posed that question facetiously and who laughed very hard at my retort.

I'm guessing many of you can guess which two scoundrels were affectionately giving me shit and burst out laughing at my snappy comeback, lol.
