soap box

Now I don't normally do this but this article really got my goat. I don't know about you, but I would be rather offended if someone referred to me as a horse, tongue in cheek or otherwise, especially when referring to my gender.

If the Age thinks it's ok to refer to a woman as a pretty horse because they are attractive (which means it's ok cos they are clearly not horsy or animal like) then they are completely wrong.

What year is it people?  What country do we live in? Haven't we come further than that?

It's so blatantly thoughtless, insulting and downright stupid.

Grrrr. *stamping my feet*
