You score your bro-points for being a misogynist and can avoid the most stressful conversations of all: the ones with women (who if you haven't noticed are often also sponsors, producers, directors, photographers, etc.).

Note: I seriously had that happen to me once at a conference: one little punk turned to the other who was trying to ask me what I do and interrupted to say, "you don't need to talk to her . . . SHE'S JUST CONTENT".

So yeah . . . take heart, Sleazy: no matter what, I'll bet no one will say that to you (or in front of you; the guy made a point of not making eye contact with me while he said it, whispering in the other dude's ear across a table from me)! It's really dehumanizing; on a board that's one thing, but to experience it in person -- unbelievable.
