This is what the 2012 Olympics would look like if the boys’ events were photographed in the same way the NBC smucks directed and photographed the women’s Olympic events.
Only a dickwad could look at Gabby Douglas’s performance and criticize her hair!
#NBC (National Boys’ Club) FAIL!
Sexist FAIL
Patriarchy FAIL
And in spite of their relentless sexism misogyny, in spite of the obstacles placed in our way…
GIRLS AND WOMEN STILL ASPIRE, ACCOMPLISH, AND EXCEL!

The problem with men is their brains. The left side and right side are just not properly connected in many of them and they just do not know how to run the world properly.

Mastersofhealth forgot a few of the disorders that men were more susceptible to, but the main points in the article are interesting.
If you have not seen the u-tube on Ryans take-down of Obama over the math behind Obamacare, it is worth a watch.

Paul Ryan does math well. But I suspect he is strictly a left-hemisphere kind of guy.
When are we starting the Hillary 2016 Campaign?

I love the Olympics this year! It’s been really ground breaking for women all over the world. We have women boxers competing for the first time ever. Women as athletes are winning medals all over the place. People are bothered by the sexism they’re seeing and that’s a good thing. There’s controversy and debate happening and people questioning the way we treat female athletes. We’ve come a long way and we’re finally making some real progress.

Agreed there have been more events and participation by women!
Agreed more people recognize and are bothered by the blatant and subtle sexism they’re seeing.
Disagree that we’ve a long way and are making real progress.
It’s 2012. The T&A shots shouldn’t even be a thought.
Referring to women as girls in this day and age is outrageous.
That most of the commentators and women’s team sports coaches are male… Sends a negative reinforcing message.
I’ve worked and waited too many decades to be okay with the fact that we still have to teach Feminisn 101… to males, and some women. I mean… C’mon already!
Kwim?

I can remember when I would have been interested.

Iran and it’s earthquakes have conspiracy theorists talking of nuclear tests. Is it possible that the freaks will blow themselves up without taking the rest of the world with them? All that human misery. And the head freak is warning that more will die if they do not get more “humanitarian aid”. You would think he would implode from his own evil. God save the innocents of Iran. What can we do but pray?

Donna Brazile is rearing her ugly head at the VP nomination. It’s the usual suspect circus, circa 2008.

I find this article more disturbing than the male bodies up top:

Mohammed retakes top spot in English baby names
By Richard Allen Greene, CNN
Mohammed reclaimed its place as the most popular name for baby boys born in England and Wales in 2011 – convincingly ahead of Harry, in second place, according to data released by the government this week.
The government declared that Harry was the most popular boy’s name, but if you add up the five most popular different spellings of Mohammed, that name comes top.
Mohammed is also the most popular boy’s name of the past five years for England and Wales, ahead of Oliver and Jack. It came first or second every year since 2007, the only name to do so.
And it could become even more popular in 2012, given the adulation around long-distance runner Mo Farah, who won two gold medals for Britain at the Olympics.
The popularity of the name comes as Britain’s Muslim population is expected to double in the next 20 years.
The country, which was about 2% Muslim in 1990, grew to 4.6% Muslim in 2010, with nearly 2.9 million followers of the faith, according to analysis by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
