Comments on: Poor Ayatollahs… http://www.grumpyfrenchman.net/?p=63 Grr, argh, and all that.

I'm fairly old fashionned in my sense of gallantry and my belief that women are beautiful and should be put on a pedestal; I have a "White Knight Complex" that would make Sigmund jump up in the air, click his heels and whoop with glee. And it's probably not entirely healthy for me. But I'm not crazy or antiquated enough to believe that all women belong on that pedestal. I tend, in all things, to judge individuals, not groups. If you've got boobs, you get the benefit of the doubt, but that's as far as it gets. A good balance I think. At least for others - I may be shooting myself in the foot (or my love life in the back of the head, really) with this 19th Century approach to chivalry... :)</b> Trust me.

Nonetheless thank you for being so pro "equality between genders".... However as Kim already mentioned and you nearly physically experienced, there are some weird females on this planet who have some rather reverse ideas on the subject. I'm in eternal and utter wonderment about that -as you would call it- kind of stupidity....... Well… guess Im a bit late to comment as it is now Sep. 2nd, 2008 and I cannot find the article anymore.

The year I spent at WVU, I made the mistake of keeping the door opened for a woman, <em>and smile as I did it</em>. It was a bloody miracle the freaking witch didn\'t actually hit me with her umbrella. Apparently, I\'d committed the horrible crime of questioning her ability to open doors. Believe me, I have plenty of hatred to spare for the dickophobic moronnettes who seem to believe that gender equality will only be obtained once every male has either been shot, chained up, or castrated. Replacing one sexocracy with another, now there\'s a smart idea o_O Anyways. Thank you for your comments, AND the honor you do me! *preen, preen* </strong> Yeah - at face value.

At face value, that does seem fair doesn't it? You really should visit Berkeley sometime and get into an women's-lib conversation with someone there. At the end of the day, I guarantee you'll be defending your gender. Just ask Sean. HAHAHA! Incidentally, this post made it into my sidebar, which I reserve for recommended reads. :) To their credit, the 30% enrollment does go in both directions, both men and women, with the remaining 40% being allocated on test scores.

My favourite part:

A report by parliament’s research centre found that “there was no use for part of the money spent on educating specialised forces”, alluding to women staying at home after graduation.
