Very timely. I'm so sick of what passes for "news" in the US these
days. Thanks for the link.

Nice to know that even when dying, a woman's worth depends on her
being pretty.

See, the thing is, almost every 18-year-old woman is pretty in some
way. But I think you miss the point of DKos and the OP, whose
commentary is more about the sad state of American media than about
female beauty.

I'm a matter of perspective. You see someone commenting on the media,
I see someone suggesting he accepts equality between the sexes yet
connects a woman's virtue to how she looks and praises her for acting
like a man. It is patronizing and insulting.

I was thinking of saying something along those lines.
You are one jump ahaed of me.

I don't think that was the original intent. The point is that with
media's ridiculous fixation on damsel-in-distress stories, they sure
keep quiet about the casualty in Iraq.

I got angry and wrote that before I even got halfway
through the page. At the bottom, the condescending
fool wrote this:
"I'd like everyone who has some kind of problem with
feminism to look long and hard at the faces of these
women and consider the fact that they died for YOU
and they were doing a man's job."

The highest praise he can give to a woman is to say
she acted like a man. I'm way too ill to even begin to
tackle the insulting idiocy of his comment.
