Stupid sexist polls
By Libby Spencer
If our elite media can get any more stupid than this, just shoot me now. I don't want to live to see it. And I'd really love to know why we never see a poll asking which male politician you would trust to mow your lawn or change your oil?

Not only that, but why can't men/dads run daycare centers? This is one of many sexist representations of gender roles. The awesome blogger Rebel Dad is terrific at pointing out the mom-centricness of parenthood representations, which of course then serve to reiterate appropriate gender norms.
Nice, though vomit-inducing, find.

Good point Lindabeth. It would have been a better analogy but I so irritated I was just trying not to drop the f bomb.
