Funny, but . . .

I'm a little tired of all the "Anne Coulter is a man in drag" schtick, although I'm sure I've said it once (or twice) myself. She's vile as a person, whether or not she's sufficiently womanly.

Interesting list comments

I was surprised to see how many men were on the list for no other reason than being "chubby". I thought men, especially older men, got a pass on the whole weight issue. Guess not.

The Phoenix Staff

Just sniping from Phoenix staffers (whom, by the by, are too cowardly to list their names and emails) who are sophomoric provocateurs. It's a typical "indie" publication; alternative reporting and opinion by those who enjoy pretending to be out of the mainstream but also want to play the 'serious publication' game. The Phoenix is fun to read, but in the end you get what you pay for.

Oh, and Tranny Annie counts.

Man?

Sanjaya is not a man, he's a boy. At 17 many whom we now consider "sexy" was still growing into his own. Let's give this brave TEENAGER a chance too.

Random cruelty, sans cleverness.

I don't understand why Broadsheet linked to this. It just seems like a bunch of mean-spirited schoolyard jokes about "fat" and "pizza-faced" celebrities. Wearying and predictable.

Objecting to objectification

I look kinda like some of these people. How can I feel good about myself when I look like one of the 100 least sexy men?

Thanks Broadsheet, for illustrating that many of the flaws in our culture are shared by both genders, and that the feminist can easily direct against men, what they would object to being directed against women.

Honest to God

As much as I don't care for the list, I have to say i'm happy that Donald Trump topped it. And yes, i agree with the poster that said that Sanjaya is just a teen and shouldn't be on there.

List made by Objectifying Hypocrites.

Calcerous, Do you really think feminists made up this list? 'cause it sounds to me like it was made up by a bunch of guys. Especially since they are actually on the list (or at least the Male Editorial Staff for the Phoenix.) Isn't this a "satire" of the 100 Sexiest Men Alive list which People does every year? Which they don't do for women.

I know some of the entries are tasteless and cruel, but the Karl Rove, White Devil Entry is pretty priceless.

reply to Stackey-ackey

I don't think feminists made up the list, just that a feminist considered it worthy of posting.

"yes, it would get yelled at for if it had ranked the other gender"

Carol knew what she was doing, and my criticism is a statement of the obvious. I'm not really offended by it, but its a nice example that sometimes the shoe is on the other foot.

RE:reply to Stackey-ackey

It also shows that at least one of Broadsheets contributors is completely comfortable with her hypocrisy.

"Oh, and Tranny Annie counts."

In that case, she'd have to count for someone who decided to put her on a "Sexiest Men" list. Otherwise, we'd be just as bad as her.

And can we please stop screaming for Sanjaya's head now? As the nation's throat grows hoarse, it seems to me that the more we scream at such minor annoyances, the less vocal strength we have left for indignities that are actually worth our time ('sup Alberto).

this list was not made by feminists

know how I know? Osama bin Laden made the 2006 list as a "mass-murdering douchebag" Feminists don't use the word douchebag.

if you say so

"In that case, she'd have to count for someone who decided to put her on a "Sexiest Men" list. Otherwise, we'd be just as bad as her."

Fine by me. I'm sure someone out there thinks she's sexy (chilling thought), whether it be in the male or female category.

BTW, on my worst day I doubt I could EVER be as bad as her.

Anne Coulter

Not that I approve of superficially judging people like that...

I think Anne Coulter is up there, and not because it's fun to call her manly. I think the anti-feminist herself deserves to be up there because she obviously hates being a woman so much.

And if she wants to be a man, well... by our cultural standards, she's one of the ugliest men in the country.
