There is no known cure for full blown KISA. Victims should be treated kindly and without blame as they cannot help themselves. If you find yourself in the midst of a possible KISA outbreak, the following are believed to be preventative measures:
1. Make your thumbnail for your guild's forums a picture of Rosie O'Donnell, coupled with a signature quote from The Indigo Girls.
2. Research whichever sport is currently in the midst of a season and learn key words such as "yard line," "play-offs" and "off-sides." Bringing these up in conversations will lower your "girlie" quotient.
3. Introduce the tall, over-geared, 70 Night Elf Hunter next to you as your husband.
