Well said, BOTH of you - Beth, on principal, and Christopher, on
minutae. While I personally share a chromosomal gene distribution with
Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler and a few other celebrities, I rely on the
kindness of strangers to judge my personal behavior impartially - and shame
on them if they don't.
(Flame off).

I'm very sympathetic to the difficulty of being an outsider in a
homogeneous culture, but I think Don's point was that the Paris Hilton
piece was less anti-woman as it was anti- vacuous celebrity, while
Beth Lynn's citation of the anti-sexism guidelines framed it as the
former.
