More misandry at Buzzfeed.

If you remove the dudes from pairs skating, the ladies look like superheroes. Which they basically are.

A graphic demonstration of female-supremacist logic. Crow about heroic single moms, airbrush out the poor schlub paying the child support. Crow about women being more suited to the modern world, airbrush out the guys keeping the infrastructure running. Use words like 'lady' and 'superhero' for the women, and words like 'dude' for the men.

God forbid that people enjoy watching male-female dance partnerships because the whole is better than sum of its parts, demonstrating a level of compatibility, trust, and intuitive communication that we aspire to in our own relationships. This is one step beyond "backwards and in heels". It's Ginger without Fred, dancing backwards like a crazy lady.

Edit: one of the commenters on the article said it well:

This is a lesson for life. If you remove the men, while leaving their work, you make women look superhuman. If you remove the men, and their work, the feats women can accomplish are human - little more, and little less.

I know this seens trivial, but its exactly the kind of thing that most pisses me off...casual sexism disguised as a "joke" in one of the most visited websites on the net.
