I don't know why you think she's a T-girl...hormones don't change your voice.

I should have caught that you were kidding. I also should have specified I was actually rolling my eyes at finklestein for lauding your literary knowledge over something as mainstream as Aristophanes.

I thought his comment was pretty patronizing, frankly.

I think given the context "her" appearance is extremely relevant. She's beckoning the troops home (albeit with her tongue planted firmly in cheek) with an ugly mug.

If I were making light of the looks of a political candidate or CEO or any other woman whose looks have nothing to do with her public persona, I would deserve getting called out for a lack of feminist sensibilties. In this case, I'm justified.
