[Poll #548232]
Please answer the poll before clicking on the cut or reading comments.
This is me being annoyed by the newspaper features section. Specifically, an article, listed as "fashion", which asked a bunch of celebrities to name the one garment, item of jewelry, or accessory that they valued much.
That in itself is just fluff, about what you'd expect from that section, in August. What annoyed me is that it was splashed, on the front page of said section--which I save for exercise bicycle reading, since it's lightweight and about the right length--as "Every woman has one thing that she values most." Rather than look at these and think "I must not be a woman," I find myself thinking "what color is the sky on your planet?" I suspect that in an open-ended "what do you value most?" more women would say "security" or "my children" or "that half hour in the morning before anyone else gets up" or "my hope of salvation" than would name a pair of pearl earrings or a particular dress.
