Snakes at the Box Office

Interesting initial analysis, but short on common sense, I think.

...and here's something to outrage people. Go! Fan those flames!

I'd get angry (god, could someone tell these people that in the context they're writing, referring to men as men but women as "girls" is incredibly dismissive and demeaning?!), but I already got upset today over a Democracy Now! report on sexual misconduct among Marine recruiters. Seems there was a huge exposé recently where over 80 military recruiters (from all branches) over the past year have been reprimanded for sexual misconduct. They've been found guilty of manipulating and/or forcing potential recruits (over 100 total, mostly ages 16-18) to have sex with them.

Yeah.

You can check it out here:

The other reason a career can hurt a marriage will be obvious to anyone who has seen their mate run off with a co-worker: When your spouse works outside the home, chances increase they'll meet someone they like more than you.

Oh man, it's a good thing men never do that! That would totally suck!

Don't marry a sexist pig is really the secret to a happy marriage. ;)

Oh and ditto both kitsune_den and anima_mecanique for pointing out the idiocy and sexism of the article and counterparts. Oh just big fat *raspberry*.
