Milton Bradley hates women. Pass it on. Clockwise, starting with the highest roller.

Are you familiar with the game Guess Who?

Because I am not a monster, I give my student a break in the middle of her three-hour sessions. We have a snack and play Guess Who? (this parenthetical aside represents me giving up on attempting to correctly punctuate the end of that sentence.) I've noticed some things about this game.

First of all, there are thirty people pictured. Five of them are women. FIVE. Half the population is women and yet Milton Bradley, the misogynist, believes we only count for one-sixth. Also, it makes it really hard to win if you draw a woman.

Not only that, but two of these five women are wearing hats. Girl hats. What percentage of the female population actually wears honest to goodness women's hats? Milton Bradley would have us believe that it is nearly half. This leaves us with more redheads in the game than non-hat-wearing women. Redheads, genetic aberrations that they are, make up one to two percent of the world's population. Yet there they are, all over my Guess Who? game board, represented in greater numbers than women who are not either balding or at the Kentucky Derby.

We are also led to believe that a stunning percentage of men wear either a mustache or beard, but none have both concurrently. Oh, and roughly five percent of the population has no eyebrows, a phenomenon I've yet to encounter, outside of Whoopi Goldberg.

Even more disturbing than all of that, I am starting to think that Joseph and Kyle are kind of cute. It might be time to pick a new game.
