this has nothing to do with anything, but….
Saturday, January 13th, 2007There is a woman in the Air Force that posed naked for Playboy. Obviously the Air Force is all up in arms about the whole thing…blah, blah…nothing really important or surprising. However, I wanted to point out two things about what I read.
1. The headline: “Nude Playboy airwoman faces probe“…..I mean, seriously, the idea that this is news to begin with is absurd enough without a title like this.
2. “The air force said in a statement her actions ‘does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen’”. Ummm, her last name is Manhart, but we are talking about a woman here. We don’t even call female mail-carriers, mailmen….
And what are these high standards? What does that even mean? The standard is that each participant is a man…I’m pretty sure that’s where Manhart is in the wrong here.
