The slighted opinion of "feminists"

Under this post is a link to an article that Kristen Ulmer wrote in order to undermine newschool skiings attempts at giving skiing a much needed new identity.
Please email skipressmag and tell them how you believe that messages like this one are exactly what we DON'T need at this delicate stage - when newschool skiing is beginning to be accepted and given validity by everybody.

like all feminists, she's just jealous.
'I was in the waiting room of my doctor's office before a physical this morning. There's nothing wrong with me, but healthy people get physicals just-for-the-hey-of-it every couple of days. When they finally mispronounced my name, I got up and walked down a hall with a nurse. After a while, the doctor came in and inspected my holes. He said that I should lose weight and consider stop smoking. I blew smoke in his face and explained that he is a douche bag. We all had a good laugh and he agreed.' -Skydaddy

that's a well-written article, albeit contrived and confrontational. maybe you should write a rebuttal and not a complaint.
things she says that are wrong:
1) no jibbers can ski.
2) jibbers aren't soul skiers.
3) jibbers have to stop when they're 30. look at mcconkey and douglas.
4) mountain owners are going to suffer when an entire generation of skiers stops at age 30. they won't. end of story.
5) i forget the article, but there were some stupid points in there. it seems as though her objective in writing that article was not to convince anyone of a point, but to cutely piss off the 20 people that will actually read it. Your best option is to passively agressively ignore it, or at least to pretend like it didn't get to you.

kristen ullmer wrote it, and she is the 80's and 90's equivalent of wendy fisher.

Just some old has been trying to write some controversial article, who gives a shit if Kristen Ulmer doesn't like jibbing, since when did her opinion matter.

Well written?? Perhaps jumping out of tenses and having no point is your idea of a well written article. I would disagree...passively.
Upon rereading my previous post - I noticed no complaining, but rather a critique and a suggestion to those who read it.
Thanks for your points for a rebuttal - it will give the rest of us a good basis for defense when you just sit there and let the world pass you by...

It's ok, Kristen Ulmer is just trying to prolong her pathetic 'pro skiing career' by writing articles that cater to the Warren Miller movie watching, SKI Magazine reading, tight pant wearing 40+ crowd. She's jealous because she A)never got much publicity during her career, B)can't rip in a park, in a pipe, or off any natural terrain features the way young skiers today can, C) can't rip as hard as talented girls like Sarah Burke, Kristi Leskinen, Meg Oster, and hundreds of others, and lastly(but definitely NOT least) D)made less money during her entire career than Sarah or Kristi make in a year. Let her speak her mind, her opinion is almost 100% worthless, and will only serve to separate those who understand where skiing is headed from those who don't, and need to be left behind.

If you guys ever watched a movie before Propaganda you'd know that Kristin Ulmer rips the shit out of any jibber girl in existance. I would really like to see Sarah and Kristi ski some big mountain somewhere, it would be interesting.

I remember this one time when women wanted their voice to be heard, but then realized they were dumb and knew nothing, so they stopped burning their bras and went back home to their husbands and apologized. I think broads on the rag need to shut up, cuz unless they are hot or ultra smart knowone will listen to them.
