I’ve been reading the spirited discussion regarding Jon Favreau being an asshat regarding a picture of Hillary Clinton in the Tennessee Blogosphere this morning. I admit, I have been so busy the last few days that my google reader has been sitting on 1000+ for days and I’ve had other things on my mind then politics. I’m studying my industry right now like a first year law student so heavily to see where I’m going to fit in the big picture. Speaking of first-year law students, I tend to agree with GoldnI.

Yeah, I’ve been a bit busy and stressed. I digress.

I saw the story over the weekend. My initial reaction wasn’t one of feminism honestly, it was looking at this as the burning stupids. The issue that Hillary Clinton will go in to the history books as being treated with such rabid misogyny by people who should know better but don’t will be studied in future generations. Maybe I’m an old bird, I saw the photo and thought, this guy is a kid. He’s a sexist kid, but if you are going to put stuff up on your Facebook with you groping a cardboard cutout of a woman and you think it’s funny …. well, just how out of touch are you? There is an acceptance for the Girls Gone Wild sort of thing in our society right now and I see that it translates to Boys Gone Wild. Let’s remember though, the subculture of frat parties has gone on forever.

Doesn’t make it right. It just is. And bloggers calling it out does help in the long term.
