Smart women, stupid columns

I was appalled to read “Man Magnets: Tip Trays and Dust Rags” [Nov. 17].

To look down upon secretaries, maids and waitresses! People who work to make money are respectable; what Bonar is doing -- slandering them -- is not. What makes her think she is so much better than anyone else? Maybe she should look into her inaccurate views of others to see why she isn’t getting dates. Or maybe go ask her maid, although she’s probably too kind to tell her what type of person she really is.

Thank you for Samantha Bonar’s column! Finally, someone is standing up to all this crap we’ve been hearing lately. I was starting to think that I have to apologize for being smart.

Amazing. After reading that piece of naive garbage from Samantha Bonar, I find it laughable that she would have the audacity to ask us to believe that she could somehow be “more intelligent” than any supposedly IQ-challenged secretary, waitress or maid on the planet.
