: You all make me laugh but in a sad this-is-where-are-country-is? way. Take a few classes and read a few more books before you come here and ask me why it's detrimental to the human psyche to be bombarded with sexist images every second of your entire life. And then you can forget it all because until you've lived it, you have no idea.

:
: : By lumping all women together into this poor, insecure beast who can't possibly gaze upon any woman who's remotely more attractive than they are, and to say that all men want J.Lo because of her ass makes YOU a sexist. Plain and simple. The fact is, the woman can act. If she wants to use her sexuality to get ahead further, fine.

: yeah. That's actually *not* fine. I don't care if the woman can shoot ping pong balls out of her ass, she's part of the problem. By giving her money to shake her groove thang only promotes it. By buying MAXIM magazine or (dear God) FHM, you all encourage it. But dissuading 12 year olds from buying Sports Illustrated is such a hopeless cause so I'll move on. The letter wasn't actually to any of you anyway. :-)

:
: :Do you think I have a legitimate complaint to Kevin that Ben Affleck is so much better looking than me? Where's Carrot Top, Kevin??

: Yeah, where IS Carrot Top? Why can't filmmakers put more normal looking guys AND girls in movies? Wouldn't it be nice to see someone successful who looked just like you and not have to see someone who is more attractive and (apparently) a better person?

:
: :and, believe me, if you'd been on this board for more than a week and seen any of the various things Kevin has said on the subject,

: Son, you have no idea how long I've been on this board. Just because a jackass doesn't write out every thought in his 12 year old mind does not mean that there are not lurkers around.

:
: BTW, I know Kevin doesn't hate women; it was a cheap ploy to get my (very honest) letter read.
