WTF. Random dudes get to escape sitting next to kids on planes, but I get stuck with it because I’m a woman? #indignant http://t.co/kq2LWDWW
I agree 100% that the airline policy is sexist. I’m just annoyed at assumption that my boobs mean I’d have to sit with random children.
@drkknits Hahaha. I have to say, the airline would be better off picking a random dude to watch unaccompanied kids than you or me!
@drkknits “Children! Aunty Kris has a special vitamin for you to take. Please ignore that it says BENADRYL on the side. Now GO TO SLEEP.”
@gilmae I’m just jealous that it’s harder for me to claim sexism too because of the assumption that woman = always happy to babysit. 🙂
@henrytapia Of course. Like I said, completely agree that policy is dumb & sexist. Just amused they think kids would be better next to me.
@drstip @redambition Hahaha. Obviously the solution is a sort of creche section of plane. Then we can all sit in the back and drink wine!
@sharre I can’t think of much worse than being bedridden in a room full of random kids! I don’t think DVDs would compensate in my case.
@sharre So why wouldn’t they put in a man in there, if he’s totally separated from the kids anyway?
@sharre If you say you “understand” it, then you are tacitly agreeing with it. All men are not pedophiles. Profiling is demeaning!
@sharre Most kids are molested by people known to them. So is that justification for separating families? By their logic, it should be!
@blakkat Nice! Apparently @the_snook is being anti-social and doing his hack stuff at his desk. #y7hack
I appreciate @chrisgander’s attempt to help me combat The Stupid, but I think we lost this round. *sigh*
@chrisgander We lost defending the importance of space exploration. How does the world end? Not with a bang but with a “blah blah blah…”
Anybody want to buy my old iSight? @nolim1t?
@Ezzles Massive hugs. And I’d bring ice cream if it weren’t so effing cold. Stupid dicky boys. 🙁
Thinking of piking on Knit Guild tomorrow in favour of the Marriage Equality march at Town Hall…
@knitdra Droool! That looks amazing!

@cdeagle Airline says men can’t sit by unaccompanied kids. I resent that, as a woman, they think I’m any better. (Not a big fan of kids.)
@toastman Haven’t run in 6 months. Tendonitis. It sucks. No C2S for us this year.

@taradefrancisco Wait, is it the ex I know? Because if so, I am way out of the loop!
@drkknits @knitdra @mrs_sockvictim Please give my apologies today. Got other stuffs to do. Hope to see you all soon though!
@taradefrancisco Holy shit, that’s awesome! Please tell Crawdaddy congrats from me & Snook. And if anybody is sending group flowers, I’m in.
@taradefrancisco She & PW girls sent gift basket to me & Snook on our nuptials. AC’s name got hilariously mangled (as “enemy”) by hotel.
@taradefrancisco I was like, WTF? We got a present from Liz, Kel, and Enemy?!
@drkknits I was gonna say that looks nicely Paleo til I saw the big LOAF OF BREAD on the side. 😛
@mrs_sockvictim @drkknits @knitdra Damn! Of course, I probably won’t need it for 6 months now. Take it to Sewjourn 2.0!
