Another sexist word to ban from the dictionary

Do you think it would be sexist if I called Ms. Schaeffer too hormonal?

A Huffington Post blogger advanced the argument Sunday that the word “too” was too sexist.
Cameron Schaeffer, a freshman at the University of Vermont, penned an op-ed entitled “The 3-Letter Word That Cuts Women Down Every Day.” That three letter word, of course, was “too,” a fairly common adverb.
Schaeffer begins by giving a painfully mundane account of how she couldn’t cut her hair just right, and how she, like, texted friends saying she was totes over it. “After a quick exchange of opinions about my hair, our conversation ended with, ‘Well you don’t want it to be too short or too long.’ What she said was harmless, but it still caused an epiphany.”
“There is no proper way for a woman to cut her hair, let alone do anything right in this world,” she complained. “There seems to be an unobtainable one-millimeter-wide mark of perfection, and none of us can reach it. Everything is too this or too that. We see it every day in the tabloids. For example, one day a female celebrity is too revealing and the next day she is too matronly.”
“In my experience, I rarely hear too thrown around about men. You hear someone say, “He’s short,” but you seldom hear “too short,” she argued. (A Google search of “he’s too short” returns 44 million results.)
Schaeffer declared that she was “taking a vow to ban the word too from my vocabulary…. I encourage others to take a look at themselves on the spectrum of injustice. We are all a part of it, and it is important to make a personal change, if that’s not too much to ask.”

I seriously wonder how people that write crap like this (and believe it) get dressed in the morning without help or directions.

You sexist bastid, you should simply say "That count is stupid", without the sexist too and it wouldn't be sexist anymore.

Huffington post is a celebration of extremism. Extremely dumb, extremely liberal, etc

Guarantee you she is ugly, fat, or both, and is completely undesirable to men.

In the bible it says women shouldn't cut their hair so that's the answer to that problem

There isn't a woman I've ever seen who looks better with short hair than with long hair.

The ridiculous thing about this is I actually think modern America assigns more gender roles for men and defines what it is to be "a real man" much more than for women. It's not politically incorrect for someone to tell a man to "be a man" or enlighten men on how to impress women by "taking charge". It's very politically incorrect to reverse the roles and say similar things.

I'm starting to think this young generation we've got today is going to be the one that finally finishes the job started by the boomers and completely take this country into the shitter. I know ignorance and stupidity are inherent traits of youth. But what we are seeing today is something on a whole new level. And what's worse is it seems the more "educated" today's youth become, the more stupid they get.

She's trying too hard to be offended, and is too easily offended. Does she know that there are people in this world with real problems? It's crazy to even entertain this.
