I'm with SuperGirl - sharing her opinion, that is!

I know it's only tongue in cheek, but there is an assumption that the quizzee is female ... and for that matter, straight!  It would have been easy to say "someone attractive" instead of "attractive man".

I also know this PC crap can go a bit far.  However, as a MALE SECRETARY that stood years of sexist discrimination (and not fun poking, nasty horrid stuff, like throwing away messages, editing mistakes INTO my work and deliberately giving wrong information) it's still a bit of a raw nerve.  When I worked for an agency, clients assumed I wouldn't be able to do the job until they discovered I could type, by which time they assumed I was gay - personally, I don't see the link.

OK, this probably isn't the best place to have said it, but it's off my chest now!  Seems I'm a slow tortoise btw.  Came as a complete surprise, although the description is fairly accurate!
