Wow. Such a stupid little story about a stupid woman who feels entitled, and everyone pops out of the woodwork to put down women with long nails. I myself don't keep my nails long (though they are carefully manicured), and I have small fingers, but just because you can't grow yours longer, or are too feminist to want to have feminine hands doesn't mean that every woman out there that has longer nails is some sort of crazy cougar or to girlie to be taken seriously. You would think that this story was about a baby killer and not a stupid woman who feels the iPhone has to cater to her needs the way that people have generalized anyone with longer nails.
I don't think that having long nails (to a tasteful degree), is necessarily stupid, tacky, or belong to past their prime fashionistas. That's harsh, inaccurate, and mean spirited in the extreme. What is stupid is claiming that the iPhone is misogynistic because people with longer nails can't use it. Women that want to claim discrimination in everything they see make us all look bad.
The world doesn't have to accomodate your nails, your chubby fingers, or any other of your sensitive issues.
While it was stupid of him to even attempt this, I foresee a lot of this sort of thing happening as gas prices rise, especially here in the UK. I bet he's not the first, just the first to get caught.
I looked at the picture without first reading the headline and thought it was some strange tropical bird that had an appetite for CD's. I still had to look twice after I read it.
I'm so glad that I left all that behind to become a housewife. Yes, housewife, not domestic goddess, home maker, or any stupid PC terms that have cropped up over the years. I don't have issues, I don't need to go forward, and I certainly don't need to be a team player.
