Sarcasm aside, were your second and third paragraphs quotes from others? If so, I didn't see the citation.
If not, they were your original thoughts. And in that regard, they were ridiculous and offensive to any female with brains and talent.
I understand that it is frustrating to see men being portrayed as comical, but it's nothing compared to the way women are portrayed- gee, we're either dowdy housewives, sluts or ugly successful women or women who've slept their way to the top.
I fail to see how that's not insulting to every woman you've ever known. No one with a bit of respect for women (necessary for "love" to actually exist) would pidgeon-hole them as such.
For the record, I'm not "hot", didn't sleep my way to the top, am not homely, ain't a lazy housewife - so where does that leave me? One in a million who made it though on brains and talent and hard work?
In principle, I agree with the 1st post. That means "While the thoughts don't universally apply, there are situations where it DOES."
I'd bet there are some statistics which could serve as evidence to support the claims to. It wouldn't take Allen Colmes to see that, equally qualified with an average, or less-than-average chick, a HOT chick will tend to get MORE jobs...Money...whatever. I remember reading where Management positions are more often populated by people ABOVE the average Height. Same could prolly be used w/ looks.

In the final event Friday, the 165-pound weight class, Rachel Hearn lifted a total of 489.5 pounds, 5 more than Biliksu Musa of Nigeria. That moved the U.S. team ahead of Nigeria and guaranteed the Americans will participate in Athens next year.
FEMALE weightlifters

Originally posted by janeeng
I don't really care, you gave a bullshit to Sir Evil's post, so I basically gave it back with FACTS!!!!!!!!!!! at even a higher lifting than what he said!

As I said, if you are quoting someone your quotation marks failed to appear. The words in the post I quoted seemed to be yours. If you were just parroting someone else I apologize and my comments should have been directed toward their author.Originally posted by dmp
THESE paragraphs??
Go back and read what he wrote...in the text which started this thread.
are you saying that it's NOT true that if two people are EQUALLY qualified, the person who is better looking is LESS likely to get the job? How is that offensive to anyone? Maybe you are confusing MY post w/ others...cuz wowo...it's as if you are thinking I made claims that "every woman who stays home is ugly"... READ what I wrote, without being pissed off - it's fairly benign. Maybe you are skimming, and missing some of the text? I dunno.
Well, if being able to bench press large metalic objects were the only determinant of strength, no.Originally posted by cptpwichita

I reread the post and still cannot distinguish where you weren't the author.

Luckily, strength of a person is not defined by that.
I dare you to have a child. I dare you to put up with high heels, sexist comments, having to work full time and also be responsible for 75% of the household duties too.
In fact, I dare you to walk one mile in my shoes and then tell me what strength is.
I doubt you'd last a block, much less a mile.
Then I will make this rather simple.Originally posted by dmp
I said those things - but for the life of me it's like you aren't even reading them. It's WAYYYYYYYYY beyond me how anyone could interpret what I've said as being anti-women. wow. ESPECIALLY the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs. There is NOTHING...zero...zilch in them which remotely puts women down. The 2nd paragraph talks about how it's common for white-straight-guys on TV to be portrayed as 'bumbling'...the 3rd paragraph poses questions about beauty - and it's affects in the workplace...

By giving credence to anything this poster said and agreeing that it is true in any circumstance, you've offended women. Your failure to see that is striking.

Paragraph 3 from your post:
I take exception with the very categorization of women as chicks or hot. The simple fact that you chose those words (again, if you are quoting someone else, please make it clear) offends women.
Originally posted by Moi
Not to mention that in the first sentence of that paragraph you've again said you believed there was evidence to support the original poster's claims.
Originally posted by Moi
I understand that you did not mean to be offensive. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that women are offended by being called a chick or for people to portray them as either hot or not. To actually measure whether hot ones get better jobs or more money.
How are we supposed to interpret the words on the page when someone starts agreeing that there is any truth to the stupidity spelled out in the first poster's post?
I am different in the fact that I don't believe women are any better than men just because their talents lie in differnt things than brute force strength. I did not say that men were incapable of handling what I have- I said that he was incapable as a person. My whole point was that internal strength is more important.Originally posted by dmp
HE probably wouldn't...But give men SOME credit. You are coming across like the exact opposite of this guy - saying Men are INcapable of handling what you claim to handle. I'd wager it has more to do w/ internal/mental strength than biology.
I've delivered a child. While I haven't had the pleasure of wearing High-heels, that I will admit to, I have worked full time...been responsible for 100% of the income...50% of the household duties...For a brief period.
It sucked. :-D
