1. Holy Crap!

I would have gotten myself in trouble had I seen the line about "infirmary feminism." Yikes.

2. What?

How is men being attracted to women and vise versa, a "real American problem?"

13. I just read your posts for the past day or so

Do you have trouble constructing sentences?

Just let us know, I don't want to flame someone that might have a real disability.

5. A few men can be counted on to deliberately disrupt this conversation

every fucking time it arises..and somehow they stay and the conversation gets shut down.

Amazing it isn't noticed.

7. it's noticed

What the FUCK is my husband doing here????

:)

Ok, by God, that was funny-

Seriously, I came home from lunch uptown today freaked out about sexists...I could not believe some of the responses to that thread. I got out the Jack, and you know I don't normally drink on Thursdays. That is usually my only freaking night off, especially with this not smoking shit.

So, yeah, I was pretty upset.

Hey NSMA, thanks for the Molly Ivins piece on Camille. It was spot on as usual.

14. I know. I was glad to see the thread

I started a thread about sexism in America too the other day. This one seemed to take off a bit more and clarify some of the problems. Sexism in America is an important issue. While other issues are important too, this issue always has been minimized throughout history.
