Sexist Vintage Ads: A History Lesson {Lemondrop}
Oct 11th 2008 2:31PM What's wrong is the double standard. So men don't have to take care of themselves and we're supposed to happy accept it and let you screw us with your rank, sticky, and hairy bodies? Get over yourself.
Now, if you take care of yourself so that your woman can enjoy a nice clean man in your bed, then that's fine. Don't expect a one-sided deal, pig.
More men taking their wives' last names {ParentDish}
Oct 7th 2008 9:19PM Actually, a man actually GROWS a pair if he's willing to take on his wife's last name and endure the ignorance and blind stupidity of comments like yours.
And what does it matter to you anyway? Don't like it? Don't do it.

Fashion Rules For the 40+ Set {Licensed to Shop}
Sep 29th 2008 4:11PM This article is disgusting. Agism pure and simple. As a 21 year old woman even I find this stupid and inane list offensive.
Props to Lola who wrote, "I think is terrible when people are put in groups...whatever those groups are. You feel good, you look good..wear whatever you want at any age. I'm 50 years old...and my body kicks ass."
No, string bikinis should not just be limited to those with "younger flesh." Why should older woman be denied sexiness? Are you threatened? If you don't like, don't look, but don't dictate what we should and shouldn't wear. Don't knock a group's self-esteem then offer ways the can pay money to fix it. Pat yourself on the back, Marquette, for being a complete tool.

NYC Hopes to Launch Subway Text Message Alert System {Switched.com}
Dec 13th 2007 8:46AM ACTUALLY, Jack...
It was not at all clear what was going on when the flooding happened; not clear when there was the explosion at Grand Central -- 311 didn't know what was going on, the MTA operators were no help; the website for "constant updates" was useless.
I was taking the 1 train up to 116th street, then all of the sudden, without telling anyone, we were taken express starting at 96th st -- this was before announcements were posted. The conductor did not tell us anything until it was too late to get off the tain. We ended up at 145th, making so many people on the train late.
Train changes are not well advertised.
On another note, no messages are NOT clear. Have you rode on the ACE or NRQ lately? I can never understand what the conductors are saying because they mumble and the speakers are terrible quality.
So, the one who is not updated is you.
Chinese Couple Tries to Name Baby "@" Symbol {Switched.com}
Aug 23rd 2007 8:10AM I don't understand why the racist people here insist on writing out their tired old jokes like "hunglow" and "g@@k" and "ching chang.." "butthead" etc etc.
Come on, grow up. At least the people who tried to name their children "4-Real" and "@" were intelligent enough to try and make a name that meant something serious to them, as stupid as that is to us. You guys...you guys are acting like ignorant @$$holes.
Wolf-whistling banned in Wales? {Style List Blog}
Apr 8th 2007 11:24AM For all those people who say "those who don't like being whistled at, don't get whistled at anyway," or "women are just complaining to much," I don't think you're really putting yourself into our shoes.
I'm 5' 3" and since I was 10, men have catcalled at me in the street and have said some really nasty things to me over the years. I don't mind when men come up to me and say, "you're beautiful..no disrespect" (which I have gotten a few times), but I DO mind it when I want to pass a certain area and there's a whole group of men just being lewd and oggling me. Maybe you don't understand this, but it feels THREATENING. It doesn't feel good at all.
I've been to restaurants where the kitchen workers all came out to stare and sneer at me. I felt so uncomfortable that I had to leave. All of the things I have experienced have been experienced by other women I know as well. We don't like it because it feels disgusting, and god forbid we ever find ourselves in the situation where we find ourselves walking alone at night in the street and having men wolf-whistle at us. Like I said, it feel vulgar and feels very very threatening especially as a 5' 3" girl who could be picked on very easy by any man.
While I don't think this is the government's business, I do think it's the company's business. Perhaps this isn't the most pertinent issue to "complain" about at this time, but it sure is a valid concern. So, for all those people who say that we are thinned skinned, maybe you should look at it from a different perspective and understand how threatening it can feel.
