Different Leagues

LearnedFoot expands on the ridiculous theme, noted here, that Amanda Marcotte is a strong woman being kept down by an evil, male dominated society:

I see this Marcotte weasel held up as some sort of example of what a "strong woman" looks like, and then I look at my wife: her hair falling out from the chemo; constantly queasy; unable to sleep some nights, and on the nights she is able to sleep, it takes all the energy she can muster to get out of bed. When she is able to get vertical, she has to tend to two extremely hyper children. Yet, at the end of the day, she's still able to joke about her hair.

Strengthwise, to any rational human being, the two aren't even close.

I don't know how he can bring himself to mention the two examples of womanhood in the same post. Our best wishes to Mrs. LearnedFoot, and, of course, it goes without saying that Amanda Marcotte gives sleaze a bad name.
