Alternet.org, which is generally very enlightened and yummy, has posted a truly irritating article basically saying that since creative people have to use their crippled left brains to do icky-poo math once a year, those boring math people should have to spend tax time writing or dancing -- you know, doing creative stuff that they must be bad at if they know how to fill out a form.
How nice to perpetuate the stereotypes that you can only be creative if you're flaky, and you can only be smart if you're a boring clod. How extra-nice for a female writer to be the one perpetuating it ("Math is hard!") Girlfriend, take the money you got for this inane article and go down to H&R Block, where you can pay someone to do your taxes for you, and quit yer bitchin'.
