    If this is the last unsolved problem of feminism then the equal rights between the sexes are far more advanced than we ever thought ;)
    If you do not have a problem, create one...

    So if I win the Indy 500 this year, do I complain about the milk? Afterall, I'm lactose-intolerant and would prefer soy milk or maybe almond.

    So the podium girl thought they were going to sit down politely and sip tea?

    I have to say that I think the champagne-spraying ceremony is extremely silly and pointless, but if she didn't want to take part in it, I'm sure that would have been fine with everyone.

    Seriously…?! I volunteer my services to personally dry out wet podium girls around the world. I'll work for free as I am a charitable soul.

    She's probably used to being sprayed in the face.

    The article is about what people feel the girl should feel... They never actually get a quote from her, or even find out if she was bothered by it.

    You can't celebrate in NFL anymore... now you can't spray champagne? I mean who cares? it's a tradition that's gone on forever. Why do people take part in things their offended by then complain about it.

    There's a lot of things I don't like... I just don't do those things.

    Because there is a significant segment of society that genuinely believes that we need to lower everything to the lowest common denominator for the good of everyone.

    That, and the press conference after qualifs, and the after-race interviews, etc...

    That makes me cringe ...

    PThe British have gone completely sexist nuts in the past few years.

    Another example here.


    Next someone will say raising the country flags is "nationalistic" and ban that too

    Was there a problem with her shoes? If it was an issue why did she not run out of the way?
