Here's To The Ladies

[filkertom]

starcat_jewel points us to a superb column on sexism and its unwitting support system.

In the same vein, the curvaceous Christina Hendricks had a hell of a time getting a dress for the Emmys. Why? She's not a size 2.

Women are half the species -- as far as I can tell, the better half by an order of magnitude. So, naturally, they get teh short end of the stick.

Today is hereby declared a day for celebrating the women in our lives. Anne, Leslie, my mom, my step-mom, my sister, so many friends here -- smart, caring, funny, wise, passionate, creative, stylish, beautiful. I adore you all. Sometimes you don't see that in themselves; sometimes we forget to remind you. But my world would be a stark, barren, awful place without you, and I thank you for everything you have done for me, for others, and for yourselves, because you make everything better.

Here's to the ladies! Without them, guys, all we'd have is each other. Shudder.
