Is calling me "she" a swipe at women? No. Why do you ask? How could you possibly make that connection?

Is calling me "she" a swipe at women? You have a (self-reported) IQ of 150. According to this chart members.shaw.ca an IQ of 145 on the Wechsler scale and 148 on the Stanford-Binet scale equates to a percentile ranking of 99.865. So a 150 would be roughly a 99.9 percentile, which means that out of a random sample of 1000 people, on average someone with an IQ of 150 would be smarter than the other 999. So referring to you as a "she" doesn't seem like a swipe at women; it seems like an exaltation of women, at least insofar as their intelligence quotient is concerned. One thing we know, sexism is not in the American Spirit. If your references to women are any guide, treating them with dignity and respect seems to be a low priority: American Spirit: "No, actually I'm a big athletic guy with a Republican girlfriend whom I love to F and make sigh. She's voting for Kerry in 2004 by the way. I introduced them and she swooned. One less Bush supporter there. LOL" Message 18743486 Or this one: American Spirit: "Kerry got there without a Daddy and special interest money. Some on the right accuse him of marrying for money, but she's a Republican (or was) and she came after him. Hey, what's wrong with that? I'd marry her too if she was good in the sack, maybe even if she wasn't." Message 18510436 Your respect for women overwhelms me.
