Tom gets it

[kelliem]

I've always liked Tom Colicchio on Top Chef- he has always seemed down to earth and intelligent. And after reading his finale blog for this season, "A Woman's Place" I'm even more impressed. Here's a quote from the blog entry: The bottom line is our society does not yet provide women in the workplace with the type of social supports, like high-quality subsidized child care or extended parental leave, that allows them to fully go for it, and the impact this has on the scope and depth of a career is profound.

Yes, it is. Still. Despite the idiot commenter 'Rob' who said Are we still in the Sixties???? Please, please, please, give this womens movement thing a rest.

Yeah, 'Rob', I'm still a feminist. And not ashamed to say so. And the Sixties aren't that far away.

The Pollyanna in me wishes that people like 'Rob' just didn't exist and we're all over that sort of shitlike thinking. but obviously, that's never worked too well for me.

Tom is awesome!

Yeah, unfortunately people like Rob are all too common. People like Tom... not so much.

Rob the Retard obviously never lost a job to a younger, 'prettier' employee or had to quit because the kids got sick.

Yeah, I had a long old rant about 'Rob' and then FireFox crashed my session... grrrrrr

Short version, my 1st ex is one of those 'Rob' guys. It's always all about how women are already equal, in fact, MORE equal and that he just can't understand why they're still complaining.

Yeah, I'm really glad I dumped his ass. (hey I was young ;)

He's still looking for a *good* wife (I thinks he's on #4) because he just can't stand all these uppity women.

Ha!

Exactly. It's infuriating.

He's gonna have to get a mail-order one if he wants one that fits his ideal.
