Read this: http://www.livejournal.com/users/karnythia/416490.html -- in which the government informs us, among other things, that no one likes a smart girl.

Seethe.

Take my poll. (Btw, LJ polls drive me crazy, because I want to do a lot of "if, then, skip to" etc., but I can't. So these things aren't just unscientific, but sloppy. But doing it made me feel better. I apologize if I left out the answer you wanted, I try really hard to be inclusive in these things, but live and learn, also, hi, at work and distracted.).

My usual technique at lessening the impact upon reading these sorts of things is to make a sarcastic, cynical joke so I don't get upset about it. Its a way of keeping a little emotional distance from things that I can't necessarily do anything about or things that already happened and are too late to do anything about.

Increasingly I've found that everything that the administration does goes way beyond my ability to think of a quip that will make me able to continue digesting my food in a comfortable fashion.

Its not so much the options that bother me right now as the undertone of Men Must Do These Things and Women Must Do These Things.

And the only alternative to this is Will and Grace?

Will and Grace drives me nuts. It's like, the "single woman with cats" cliche turned into "single woman with gays".
