I suck at links, evidently. For bonus points, there's a guy whining in the comments about 'Boys are stupid. Throw rocks at them,' as if there's a wave of rock-throwing going in the world.
Guess you can't be sexy if you're a female Ph.D, either. Good to know. Seriously, it's amazing when one trips over some of these revealing attitudes. It's not sexist to demote a woman from Ph.D to secretary? Why, because the male audience might be intimdated? Also, she can't be a feminist because she's sexy and she cries?!
Here's a website for that type of guy. Second one down, possibly not safe for work, no way of linking individual posts. Female Ph.D writes personal ad. Jerkoff writes in, patronizingly telling her mentioning her Ph.D will turn off guys. LIke him, one supposes. Darn, thinks the Ph.D. Who knew Frank Miller read the personals?
"Abi, you're saying that using the word pussies totally and completely gutted what I had to say? If that's the case then this is the wrong place for me."
I cannot imagine why using a sexist slur that compares womanhood, so to speak, with cowardice and weakness as a greeting would make both men and women doubt your sincere and genuine desire to communicate openly and without bias.
You know, if I were an Iraqi, I'd kill to have insurgents like the guys who tried to hit London and Glasgow. No casualties except one of the bombers. Just the difference in casualty ratio ought to tell you something. I'm far more worried about Muqtada Sadr than I am AQ. I think AQ's shot its wad for at least another five years, but Sadr is a wild card and unstable. He's going to get more and more ambitious the more power he gets.
In 2004, we were seeing platter charges that wiped out whole vehicles of soldiers: they weren't reported in the media till 2005, at the earliest. The only thing preventing the transplanting of IEDs and VBIEDs to the West is the lack of fields of arms, left unguarded and easily-available.
The guys in London and Glasgow didn't have access to the training and the discarded ordnance that's producing skilled bombmakers right now in Iraq. Nor did they have access to anything but gasoline and nails. They went to their local gas station and the hardware store, and they couldn't even wire the cellphone detonator correctly. (That's been standard technology in Iraq since late 2004, at least.) What next? Attacking the JFK fuel pipeline with a blowtorch?
