Quote of the Day

"You know what? People who think that all the world’s problems would be solved if women ruled the world are full of crap. And I say this as a woman and a feminist."


-Meryl Yourish referring to the idiotic ramblings of Sally Field.

Personally I dislike the sentiment that just because I'm a woman I need to stick with ALL women. The idea that somehow women are better than men strikes me as such a crude sentiment, like calling someone a nasty name in the school yard. Different does not mean better or worse, it's just different. Another ridiculuous idea is that women are more peaceful than men, have you ever seen a female lion protect her cubs? Not so peaceful.

Gawd, I hate stupid platitudes like this.
