Gah!

I have read two pages of http://www.laddertheory.com/ and I already want to punch everyone involved with it in the face!

This will teach me to follow links from xkcdsucks. Who, by the way, are a little bit funny themselves.

Everything I know about it seems to suggest that belief in the ladder theory is a good diagnostic tool for a whole syndrome of other bigoted assholery.

I've never encountered it before, thankfully. I'm trying to decide if it's more or less creepy than The Game.

It started out as `amusing but wrong' but swerved into `amusing but deeply unpleasant' at the use and definition of the word `bitch'. I stopped there...

Oh good grief. We could make a giant club and hit them with that instead, it'd be extra satisfying.

It took me five seconds of looking at the first page to want to punch everyone in the face. How are you more patient about this shit than I am?

Well, it's hideously misogynistic and I'm not a woman, at a guess. I mean, I guess that's why. I'm pretty sure I'm not a woman.

As far as intellectual whores can determine, the average female bitch has a rating system that works like this:.

So the breakdown looks like:
Money and Power: 50%

Attraction: 40%

Things Women Say They Care About But Do Not: 10%
(this includes intelligence, sense of humor, honesty, sensitivity etc. )

SURELY THIS IS SIMPLY VERY POOR SATIRE? THIS IS THE ONLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION.

(Especially considering that the cartoon woman on the front page could not possibly remain upright if she really had a rack like that...)
