		<description>  Oh, I htink the people inflicting the double standard understand just fine. Or rather, they resist it because it wouldn&#039;t benefit them. 

 For every stereotype of women, there&#039;s a corresponding, flattering stereotype of men. For the Madonna, there could be the Bad Boy who her love reforms. If he&#039;s a different race, he can safely be blamed for rape.  If he&#039;s the same race, then she&#039;s a fake madonna. 

 For the whore, there&#039;s any guy who complains about his evil ex. He&#039;s the victim.  Eliminate the double standard and you eliminate the comfort level for these guys, who also use women to appear more masculine against. Women are weak, frail, illogical, emotional. What are men? The opposite of those things. Men don&#039;t compete against other men: they compete against women, and insisting on humanity for women means that men are deprived of the thing they react against.  They&#039;d have to be human, too, and that requires a great deal more than just reaction.  Feminine is &#039;pussy&#039;---everything weak and vile and stupid.  All men have to do is not be men.  If women become human, then men have to choose to either do the same---which is complicated and difficult---or they can try and re-assert the old roles, which keep the bar for their behavior rediculously low.  The standard for &#039;nice guy&#039; these days is basically not being a total asshole.  Why change that when it&#039;s so easy to achieve? </description>

		<description>On a completely different vein (or vain -- ha!), one of the best things I&#039;ve done to save money in the last year is give up being blonde.  The cost isn&#039;t nearly as high here as it is in NYC, but it was enough to hurt the pocketbook and couldn&#039;t be replicated at home.  Seriously, people, go brown or red or whatever -- you can do it at home and NEVER mess it up.  Quit fucking with the crazy highlights.</description>

		<description>Thomas and Ginmar:  add to that the complete dearth of understanding on what it means to be sensual and you get stuck with your madonna/whore dichotomy all over again.  Fuck that.</description>
