Fox news in St. Louis, Missouri had a report on the morning news of the Polar Bear Club that swims the Mississippi every January 1. Of coarse the male news anchor had to inform all that "this is a mostly male-dominated tradition." One woman however does participate and the anchor walks to her and says "what's a pretty little thing like you doing here?" Why, in this day and age do men think they can talk to women this way? The fact that the other people watching the clip in the room with me didn't understand why it is a problem was even more alarming. I'm so tired of men treating women as less capable. I'm tired of women not being equal!!!!

Wow, I never realized you needed a penis to jump into freezing water. Where would we be without Faux News to explain these things?
Heh. The sort of comment I'd want to make in response(though it would only ever occur to me after the fact) would be "What's a creepy misogynist like you doing opening your mouth where people might hear you?" Perhaps I'll just store it away for future use, though I myself am neither particularly pretty nor young...
I concur...and can I say that "of coarse" is a particularly delightful freudian slip? :D
WHy Why WHy
do people watch or read anything that is OWNED by Ruport Murdoch?
Why WHy Why
watch Fox?
Lets all collectively turn away from it and watch it go away as it's biggest fans die off (old, white, bigoted demographic)
Rupert Murdoch owns the Wall Street Journal.
Hi everyone. I actually just went to the screening that Emily mentioned above last night, and it reminded me how much I love feminist discourse, and how much I miss having it on a daily bedroom furniture basis. Did this group ever get together? Either way, anyone up for another one?
