This kinda relates to the hurricane but on a different level thus a new thread topic. So, I realized that I wasn't taking this Hurricane too seriously because its named "Irene" a feminine name. I think subconsciously, I'm thinking that's a girl hurricane, girls aren't scary, they can't do damage. Then when I started realizing how bad this might be, I'm like I think I would have taken this more seriously if it was hurricane Andrew or Daniel. Yea seems kinda silly, but i know that's what my mind was doing, somehow downplaying the storm because its has a girly name. Don't take yourself too seriously, but do take your responsibilities very seriously. |

Presumably the logic behind the naming is that some women are actually quite a force to be reckoned with if you ever end up in an argument with them. We probably have a distorted view here because our brains are all a cut above average, so we naturally seek out nice women and then forget about the bad ones. I wish I had more time to write more and get myself in even more trouble, but I have to rush off -- |

My bet is that it's down to male meteorologist referring to women in their lives with "stormy" characteristics.

Personally, I find working in environments filled with other men preferable to working with female co-workers, as female co-workers tend to be more moody and rain unpredictable shit storms. OTH guys that dont get laid and work in male dominated work environments can be just as finicky. ----- Sometimes you may have to send 3-4 messages |

My experience of women in the workplace is that they're lovely to me, and bitchy to all their female colleagues. If you're moody towards you, chances are you're a bit of a woman yourself.

When it comes to work, i'm asexual, i'm there to make money and do quality work (and I'm already attached&engaged to a beautiful woman), i've noticed that often, a woman will have a crush on me, she will notice that her advances do not work and her frustration may turn into jealousy and resentment. Essentially, the few that get moody, do so because I wont give them any. This is one of the perils of being attractive, and I'm used to it. Not that it affects me, I tend to be indifferent and go on about my day. ----- Sometimes you may have to send 3-4 messages |

Women in the work place can be just as catty as men, or is it the other way around? I try to concentrate on my job, but there are some real cuties there. There were a couple of girls that had a bit of a crush on me but I never acted on it. I think I regret one. By reading this sig, I, the reader, agree to render my soul to Bob Keane. I, the reader, understand this is a legally binding contract and freely render my soul. |

What would you have thought had they named the hurricane Big Bertha?

What I found funny is that superstar4410 used the smiley face icon for the thread, so I guess he's happy about being sexist . ______________________________________ |

Big Bertha? I would have picture big, slow, and laying flat everything in her path, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Bertha The smiley for the thread post is more with my personality, kinda like come join me as we discuss this topic.

I figured, it does suit your personality . On the subject of hurricane naming; just once I want them to go out on a whim and name a hurricane something completely ridiculous. ______________________________________ |

In Australia, cyclone gender alternates, so only 50% are women, every other one is male. I had assumed that everyone did it that way. Are all the cyclones in America named after women? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ |

I think it would be a big step forward for fearful naming if we just called them cyclones .
