>Are you guys really sexist... you need to read your dictionary. Sexism is, essentially, not being fair/right in your treatment of someone based on their gender. Webster says: "1: prejudice or discrimination based on sex; esp. discrimination against women 2: behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex." Saying someone would be "fun at a party" is not doing anything "sexist". Neither is describing a woman as "very classy" or as having a very "complex smile". There is nothing that fosters stereotypes or discriminates in any of those statements. Men enjoy women, and women enjoy men, and both genders discuss the other. See "Hunks of CNBC" thread if you think otherwise. It goes both ways. Lighten up.

Sexist trogs, or at least we would be if there was anything remotely sexist about my remarks. Did I say any of them were incompetent...no, did I say they shouldn't be there, no. Well, actually I'm not a fan of Diane Diamond as I think she is a tabloid Rivera wanna be but that's a knock on that kind of journalism, not the fact that she is female. Lighten up dude. Since when is a compliment on a woman's appearance sexist? There is a whole thread devoted to Maria B. and a thread for the women on the hunks of CNBC. Who made you St. Augustine anyway? If you're that sensitive, good thing you weren't here during the time Kate Bohner was still on!
