ezs note:  It'll take a while (well... quite a while) but I strongly suggest you read the New Yorker article that refutes Ainsley Erzen's sincere but misguided speech.  It's right here.

I know that it'll take quite awhile, but please read the hotlinks also.  IMHO, you'll gain a far greater appreciation of the article.
