What does that make me if I have no idea what you are talking about?

Next week IWF blames feminism for global warming…

And if you keep at it long enough, you might end up as beautiful as Charlotte Rampling is today. In fact, I’m pretty sure all women who blog left and write well (Amanda Marcotte, Susie Madrak, Jeanne D’Arc, & c.) look like Charlotte Rampling, (but that’s just my fantasy). On the other hand, any woman who has been Republican Babe of the Week is probably headed here.

I wonder if Mr. Allen agrees with Ms. Allen, and intends to dump her for the Gingrich model trophy wife?

Or maybe he’s one of the passive aggressive faux-polite pseudo-chivalrous smarmy ones, who patronize “the help” and don’t realize that we think they’re lower than gum on the bottoms of shoes as they do so.

Oh, and Steyn should be grateful he’s up here *now* - I remember when the terminal was so small that to get to your plane for a regional shuttle flight, you had to go out a door and walk over the runway to climb a rollout-stepladder, instead of having a boarding tube. And that wasn’t all that long ago.

–Then again, I suppose it never occurs to him that his flight crew and staff might be stressed out for another reason - that they actually have a *legitimate* worry about terrorism, and not just the Boston connection - one of the killed 9/11 pilots came from the next town over where I used to work.

Ye gods, it must be nice to live in their insulated little bubble world… Idea for a bumper sticker: Why Yes, The World DOES Revolve Around Me - I’m A Republican!

What’s this obsession with smiling? If they’re actually *rude*, that’s one thing, and you’ll be wanting to complain to the airline. But complaining that you didn’t get smiled at by a woman–well, I don’t have to tell you how that sounds.

Amanda is right. If white-looking guys like me had to put up with the shit women go through for the sin of living and aging, plastic surgery would probably be goverment-subsidized. The French would be noted by some in not giving in to sexism and showing ‘older men’ who have flabby chests, big stomachs, three chins, etc. in their movies. American actors would migrate to England when they turn 40 if they didn’t want to go into the theater exclusively, take up teaching and/or directing, as the reign of King Victor demonstrated that male age can equal wisdom, stereotypes to the contrary in America.

I’d also be pissed off by all the women my age dating younger, better-looking guys, while I have to make do with the rare woman who’d be capable of looking past my few but increasingly common white hairs and wrinkles. Probably only someone raised by hippies would go out with me by then.

I’ve noticed in many, many forums that men who continually deride women for the sin of aging then turn around and complain about older women not being nice to them. Makes one wonder if women, and I know this is hard to believe, respond badly to men who regard them as if they were looking at a piece of dog shit on the bottom of their shoes? Couldn’t be.

I particularly like the MRA-types who complain that older women aren’t fun to date because they won’t put up with a bunch of shit. Which of course, is tacitly admitting that they give women a lot of shit to put up with.

And an ongoing theme with Ann Coulter is that affluent blonde women (you know, people like her) shouldn’t be bothered with any airport security procedures. So, I think the basic problem conservatives have with airline travel is that it isn’t elitist enough.

And why are these people expecting lowpayed service personnel to be submissive models who view the world as their dom? you want happier attendants? They get paid more and your ticket price goes up, you want happier attendants? You should maybe thing about losing the spoilt little attitude that they’re there entirely for your amusement and satisfying your tiniest little whim, that they have to be eye candy you can oggle as a sex object says way more about why they should be pissed off at you than anything else. They are women in a service role, they are not whores, they are not there for you to grope and fondle and hurl abuse out rather than do the Oh So complex task of waking your neighbour from their sleep when the cart comes around.
