I especially like the "hang out with the guys" part, as if a) hanging out with people from work all the damn time is what you should want to do, b) one woman should be expected to be perfectly comfortable going out to bars with a bunch of dudes she doesn't really know, and c) women have to relate on a "dude" level or else they're not important.<br /><br />At first I thought about writing about the whole article, then realized I would probably never stop.
