Blogosphere Enlightenment

September 23, 2008 at 12:31 pm (Culture, Politics)

We chanced upon this interesting ‘discourse’ and thought it illustrates the “sanctimonious fatigue” from the anti-hicks with what they call “reverse snobbery”, aka culture war.

Self-styled liberal blogger: “Some of us, in fact, don’t give a rat’s ass where she [Ed: Gov. Palin] comes from.”

Commenter: “Really? Did you support Obama over Clinton and Edwards because you liked where Obama wants to take us all next. or because you liked where he comes from?”

Sexist Men at Work?

September 22, 2008 at 5:24 pm (Culture)

A British academic concludes from her study that men with sexist views ‘earn more’ than their modern-thinking brothers.

A shot across the brow for self-proclaimed progressive men?
