Someone on my flist has actually seen a dear yuletide letter containing the phrase 'no girl cooties'. Which made me rage.

As I said to her, no one would dream of saying 'no gay cooties' or 'no non-white cooties' or 'no disabled cooties' or 'no trans cooties' (or I would damned well hope not), but it is still acceptable in huge swathes of fandom to be blatantly misogynistic.
