Well, if you had provided a cite, I would have refered to it that way. But it's not the US Census data, at least as described. That's what I linked to. Your chart (or rather, the chart you reposted) stripped out some of the data and then reordered it, and by doing so made it inaccurate.

I say none of this to criticize you, but rather whomever was the source of the table you posted, which is either sloppy or intentionally deceptive.

Lighten up already.

I'll call MSNBC and tell them that you think they're sloppy and deceptive. You can probably expect a call.

Excellent. I have contacted them as well. Perhaps they will pay more attention next time.

I'm not uptight. I'm just smarter and better than you.

ETA I know that ain't saying much, but I'm naturally humble.

Is that you talking back to the computer generator? Because I was just bypassing IT for you (like Burger) Shizzle.

...-- you may have been joking, so I may or may not have been whiffing. Whatever that means.

Or is saying something like that a whiff as well? Jesus. Who can keep up with you people and your hip new ways?

Stop that right now. They already think I'm someone's sock.

Get over what? That there were funny things about that chart that suggested that it wasn't accurate? Or the fact that you are a dimwit? Why are you defending a stupid chart that has a misleading title?

But since you're feeling defensive, let me attack you for not being too swift: I found it funny that a chart referring exclusively to women used a phrase that covered all gender categories. If the people who prepared the chart were careful and precise, they would have changed the line that they quite obviously took from somewhere else. My point was not that somebody wrote it that way.

And by the way, the heading cannot mean "percent of women comprising the field," as you say, that would mean that the numbers would have to add up to 100%. What you meant to say was "percent of workers in the field who are women."

The reason I picked on the chart is that I was irritated by the misleading conclusions it wanted careless readers like you to make (that is, that there aren't that many smart lady doctors and lawyers out there after all). Have you ever heard the expression "lies, damn lies, and statistics" ?

Here's my chart:

Hookers (100%) = $0
Cookers (100%) = $0
Cleaners (100%) = $0

Who says misogyny has gone the way of the mojito!!

In my ongoing efforst to please you (provided it doesn't take much effort), I offer you: "Snakeeyes Robust Slim"

(Looks like I was slow on this one - took a call while posting -- but it does seem like you get Snake Eyes a lot here)

Well done, Coltrane!

But I might point out that by definition, a hooker gets paid for sex. So I have to confess I don't understand your first category.

Why do some breast implants feel like rocks, while others feel relatively normal? Do they fill them up like a tire, and sometimes just get overenthused?

Look, the girls were there. Why didn't you just ask them, conduct a survey in between dances?

I am shocked that you even dare compare those two. To borrow a completely inappropriate sports metaphor, Bullock couldn't carry Hepburn's jock.

While I agree with your comparison of Bullock v Hepburn, I was not comparing them. They both go on my list of strong, dark, and sexy women. But they would be opposite ends of the spectrum on how I'd mean 'strong' and 'sexy'.

Sebby, Bullock in Miss Congeniality when she walks out of the hangar and in the evening gown was pretty damn sexy. They gave her a pretty lame swimsuit though.

Trying to figure out whether you whiffed or not is so mid-2003. It has, like, totally gone the way of the mojito-drinking dodos who eat iceberg wedges with the dessert fork.
