I agree, I restricted my point to things that can easily be changed. That was intentional. Those were the sorts of comments she was complaining about (e.g. that she's being "intentionally unattractive"). Men would receive similar criticism. If straight up sinewy stud wore baggy assed stained hoodies to his weatherman job, or thick rimmed glasses and a pocket protector with suspenders then a handful of people would give him shit for it. I promise you. They would. A handful more will talk about how they don't give a fuck and want to jump on his magnetic pole. The rest will talk about how they hate "wintery mix."

You seem to miss my point. I think it's demeaning to suggest that being sexualized is the problem, or even that it is gendered. Cat calls, come ons and so forth should be seen for what they are. Compliments. The problem is exactly what you said in the last paragraph. What you look like, and the value of what you say should be seen as completely orthogonal dimensions. Unfortunately, in this world they aren't. That's lame.

Hey CirSam, you're back from vacation! Great to see you.

love the rapping weatherman

That look is the result of learning that Matt Lauers wig has teamed up with Willard Scott to be the next weatherman duo on the show.

I hope you complete the dupe, instead of killing it. The promote will transfer over if you dupe.
@pumkinandstorm.... you might consider changing your tags to be more specific, to save some other poor sifter the heartache of the missed dupe.
Blah blah blah.
Great vid!


Thanks BB2! I will add a virginia tag. That should take care of it.
