Finley and I both had listened to CNN’s Larry King Live spend an hour talking about Palin’s teenage daughter.  We’ve watched ABC, CBS, NBC, and the BBC all talk about how a woman who has 5 kids shouldn’t be a VP because she should be raising those kids and being a good parent.  CNN then puts out a question and calls it an “ireport” asking the question “Double Standard?”.

Freaking duh? Is that the best you can do to subside the out-rage of women and men who see what the media is doing?

Let’s look at what they are really saying.  They are basically saying that women can’t be the bread-winner in the household.  They are saying that Men are not fit to raise 5 kids on their own.  To take it a bit further, they even applaud a single mom who raised her kid and put him through school, worked 18 hour days, didn’t see him, but some how she is better than a woman who is married and works and takes an executive position who might not see her kids as much.

In a new world of people who take offense at every little thing, Men should be offended.  They should feel slighted, that aparently they can’t take care of the kids.

wow...

Overheard on Fox News this morning while driving into work.

The mayor of a male-heavy mining town in Australia created uproar among local women over the weekend by inviting “beauty-disadvantaged” women to join the population of lonely men.

Mayor John Molony found himself under attack Monday over comments he made to a local newspaper that read: “May I suggest if there are five blokes to every girl, we should find out where there are beauty-disadvantaged women and ask them to proceed to Mount Isa.”

The mayor added that many women who already live in the remote Queensland state town seem quite happy.

“Quite often you will see walking down the street a lass who is not so attractive with a wide smile on her face,” he continued. “Whether it is recollection of something previous or anticipation for the next evening, there is a degree of happiness.”

Here’s the thing, the commentators talked about this as well - their first real comment was “Who should be more offended, the men because they are being told to lower their standards or the women?”

Tell you what, how about stop taking everythnig so damn seriously, everyone is offended now a days and has “feeeelings”.  Who cares, just suck it up and deal with it.   I think women who are lets just say are not the greatest looking should actually like the ideat that the could go to a place where the men would compete for their attention.  The ad should read:

“Women, did you fall out of the ugly tree, and hit a few branches on the way down, and then were beaten with the ugly stick when you landed? Then COME ON DOWN.  We’ve got a group of guys who don’t give a crap how fugly you are, in fact we guarantee that someone here will love you in this town.”

Seriously, don’t you think everyone needs someone to love them and this allows people whore are unfortunate looking to have a chance?
