Bigotry
I am finally giving up on doing cryptograms on Yahoo!Puzzles. I love cryptograms, I like the interface, but I am SO FUCKING SICK of the content. Every blasted quote is written about "man" and "he" and "his". Quotes about love are always from the guy's point of view, so that they're insanely conflated with beauty or something. Quotes about marriage are about how some woman makes some man miserable. And the last straw was this gem:
"Educating a beautiful woman is like pouring honey into a fine Swiss watch: Everything stops." Kurt Vonnegut.
Well, I just lost any respect I may once have had for THAT dude. And I just lost the last shred of patience I had for Yahoo's cryptograms.
Now I'm ticked because I do enjoy cryptogram-style puzzles. But I'm sick of putting up with sexist content to get them. So I'll have to look around for decent ones or give it up. @#$!ing bigotry. I bet they'd NEVER put up with racist content on there.
I bet 90% of guys who claim not to be sexist wouldn't notice anything wrong with what's on there now, either... until a woman ranted about it.
