Thank you so much for continuing to call attention to the ridiculous way men are portrayed, well, everywhere.

I would never pay dues in a professional organization that published garbage like that. Fortunately I am in the tech field, which is more or less apolitical. I *have* however lost consulting business when customers here in Seattle found out that I was a Republican. I think they figured if I was stupid enough to think invading Iraq was a good idea, I had no business managing their networks.

Of course, to be fair, I don’t know that I’d hire a liberal as an accountant, but maybe we shouldn’t go there.
