ummm, can you think in more than one direction at once?


the theme is of course scantily clad women in screenshots, linux as a beer
commercial etc... which by the way is all about classical roles of men and
women and the steriotypes that have been extended and persist today...

like women as sexual objects...

like women as brainless creatures...

like women can't do any "man's work"...

like "women can't do xx"


see the connection now? sure you'd have built up angst too if you were a
woman... isn't that what this [EMAIL PROTECTED] is about? sorry you
don't own this thread ;->
