    Sounds like a clear case of what a friend of mine would call "cranium anal inversion."

    They are also implicitly disparaging women indiscriminately, which is further strong evidence of their bigotted, defective judgement, and of their essential insecurity.

    Well, since we're dredging up old posts, I had some thoughts once on this very issue. I still think that the skirt comments are borne of misogyny, and to react negatively to such things only perpetuates the problem.
