You don't understand people that well, Jason.  Those advertisers spend
*many* *millions* of dollars to find the woman who will be found
attractive to the most men.  If they didn't "coincide with the ideas
of beauty of even a small percentage of men", they wouldn't get paid.

I'm not arguing for or against the goodness of this.  Just remember
that you have described yourself as a member of a demographic which
most advertisers completely ignore.

>> only to think that the people doing the yelling are kind of weird, and
>> the men who are guilty of disrespect don't give a shit.

These "weird" men are a very large percentage of people, if not the
majority.  Maybe you need to watch some more TV (I wish I was
kidding).

>> Granted, the people I have been around for the past 3 years haven't
>> been representative of the population as a whole, 

No kidding.  The worst people at MIT are far better than a lot of the
people out there.


No offense, Jason, but you're not cynical enough.
