Affirmative Action bake sale. Linked from Glenn Reynolds.

This must be a nationwide thing because today at USC I walked by a bake sale by a women's group selling cookies for $0.75 for women and $1.00 to men - to point out wage inequality. I was with three film school classmates, 2 guys and a girl. The guys reaction: get the over yourselves. A bunch of upper middle class women whining about lower wages? Give me a break. Of all the people in the world with a legitmate gripe, the women at USC don't have much to complain about - and certainly no less than the men at USC.

If anything, overweight, ugly people ought to be getting cheaper cookies. They have a rougher time getting jobs than good looking folks, men or women.

I guess the bake sale tactic is catching on with different groups with different agendas.
