forget about it
[Read the article: I'm sexy and available! Chat me up!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just forget about it. An alpha man wants a trophy wife. And the others, well, do you want them? You are giving them all (all of them!) way too much power. They're just men and, strictly speaking, unnecessary to your happiness.
You really sound like a whiner, frankly. It's okay to nurse delusions as long as you know they are delusions and you can put them away after an hour or so of reverie.
Why stand around all night and wait for something anyway. The best thing to do with men is make fun of them. They eat that shit up.
And Cary, on that note, it's boring to see you posting letters about women who can't get dates. That story is so tired. We (Salon readers) are adults, mostly. Do you get some perverse pleasure knowing that it sucks to be a woman still entranced by delusions of romance and white knights? Come on. Your advice is cheap. And the "problem" at hand is stale. NEWS FLASH: A man is a man is a man. An alpha man even more so. And ladies, you know damn well you can get a date with the non-alpha dudes. So stop trying to sucker us with your sobby wobbies.
Aw, well. Piss off.

fashion is power
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Anna Wintour is at least somewhat correct. Any woman who dismisses the power of fashion is abandoning precise and powerful tools available to women. I like Hillary but believe that, in this case, she made a big mistake. (Also, Ms. Wintour is no slacker--she runs an empire of her own, and her message reaches millions of eager readers.)
I've long thought that Mrs. Clinton ought to make better use of style. Nancy Pelosi gets it. Oprah gets it. Madonna gets it. Even Condi Rice gets it. (When Ms. Rice was berated for shopping for shoes during the the Katrina disaster, I thought, you go girl.)
If I were going after an important job, I'd apply all the fashion savvy at my disposal. I'm pretty sure I got my current position because I showed up for the interview wearing a Prada skirt and Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes (plus a J. Crew sweater set). Sure, I had the skills to back me up. But the bottom line remains the same through the ages: Style is Everything.
If you're reading this, Senator Clinton, I strongly recommend that you do what stylish American girls do: Get your game on and bust up the scene.
You'll be untouchable.

finally, someone said something
[Read the article: Why I hate partner yoga]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I hate partner yoga. I HATE PARTNER YOGA. Hate it. Hate it. Disgusting!
Also, could the big hairy yoga dudes get their own corner of the room so they can whip around their freaky fountains of sweat with abandon. Gross.

Cunt
[Read the article: More ways to call Hillary Clinton the C-Word ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt CUNT cunt cunt cunt CUNT cunt cunt cunt CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT . . .
It's just a word, ladies. Have we learned nothing from the African American contingent? Use it, or have it used against you.
Yo! Cunt!

yo AKA
[Read the article: More ways to call Hillary Clinton the C-Word ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There is an insult for white men (or any man) and you know what it is.
It's the greatest insult to any man and it translates universally around the globe in every language. I asked a linguist on this point once and he agreed that as far as he knew, it was the greatest insult to a male in every language he could think of.
Also, I don't approve of insulting Mr. Obama. I'm a Hillary supporter but if he gets the nod, I'll totally back him.
I'm saying, we ladies can reclaim the word "cunt" just like African Americans reclaimed their word.
Men can't reclaim their nasty insult word. Or rather, I doubt they'd have the, um, cajones to do so. It would be awesome to see that can of worms get opened!
Yo! Cunt Lover!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm talking about, dude, I can't even say it. Starts with an M and ends with an R and has four syllables.
Sorry, I feel dumb but I just can't say it. I feel inhibited.
