Didn't you hear?  It was actually a conspiracy by the (male-dominated)
toy industry to brainwash future feminists via the messages spoken by
their Barbie dolls!

This was, of course, (evil) white male propaganda designed to distract
women from the blatant sexism rife in this country.  Everyone knows a
woman can't truly be successful without government assistance.

A "modern woman" ???  This is better than rec.humor!  Umm...exactly what
differentiates a "modern woman" from, say, just a plain "woman"?  Is it
just the bad attitude or is there some physical difference?

Regarding lawyers...that's a noble accomplishment for such an oppressed
and disadvantaged gender.  It's too bad that the latest occupational
opinion poll placed "lawyers" only SLIGHTLY above "child molesters".

Are you kidding?  There are plenty of people out there (of both genders)
more than willing to grovel at the feet of a "modern woman".

Equality, to many people, means lowering the standards so as to accomodate
the lowest common denominator.  That way no one will get their feelings
hurt when they fail.  

How about the assault on (evil) Men's Clubs?  I mean, if women invade all
the exclusively male organizations, where are we going to go to plot our
oppressively sexist agenda?  It's common knowledge that such male institutes
exist for the sole purpose of organizing our plans to keep women from
becoming successful.

I'm proud to say a local male veteran's organization was recently
invaded by women championed by the ACLU.  When the women won the right to
sit in on the meetings, the organization chose to disband rather than
accept them.  Another female victory in this, the "Year of the Woman"!

You know what I'd really like to do is find some Women's organization,
force my way in via the ACLU, and sit around and talk women's issues all
day!  Would that I had the free time...

>Golly - maybe I'd better be paranoid too ... maybe if I get REAL

Yeah, then next time I get less than an "A" in Calculus, I can blame it
on the professor who didn't attend to my "special" needs...or, I could
just blame my Barbie doll.

This is off the subject, but I was curious.  Does this chick always post
like this, or just every 28 days, or so?
