Sometimes the system seems dodgy
Last posting of the evening, I promise.
An amphibious acquaintance who is looking for housing found this Craigslist posting during her quest. Just out of curiosity, she contacted the poster, and was told that yes, she's serious (and has horrible spelling/grammar, but I digress). Hey, it's the SF Bay Area - it could just as well have been posted by a lad - and the real marvel is how un-PC-ly (and illegally) discriminating it is. But STILL - I couldn't help but snicker a little and give a cheer for a female whose obviously:
$1 Swimmer/Surfer/H2O Polo Player/Gymnast/Lifeguard......U Need A Room?
Got a nice place with a nice room that needs a really well-built young guy (18-30) that doesn't want to pay a lot in rent but doesn't mind showing off his other assets. This is a reduced rent situation...send your face and body pic or dont reply!
Looking for a swimmer....surfer....gymnast...lifeguard...water polo player...UNDER 30 with great defintion and just need to make a housing change... we should talk. Tell me a little something about yourself and why and when you want to move. If you don't send a pic in the first email you will get NO RESPONSE!!!
Good for her!
Not to say that anti-discrimination laws are unimportant. I've just been thinking a LOT about discrimination for the last few weeks, and (probably over the weekend) sorting out my feelings about what I call Equal Opportunity 2.0 - where we are now WRT affirmative action.
Now I'm going to put dinner on, and get some things kicked off my "to do" list, dammit.

- has her priorities sorted out
- says what she wants
- likes visual stim
- financially ok enough to give eye candy incentive
- obviously not hung up on who pays for what (in a traditional sense)
