To say 'Yvonne goes to the US with a big F U from all the Alberta men' proves her point. That may not be what all you guys think but that wasn't really needed!!
To play with the numbers... lets say there's 48% men (its probably a lot more, but lets give her the benefit). That's ~480000 guys... lets say 75% are married (again, a high percentage), that leaves 120000 guys. Lets say half of that is too young/old and that leaves 60000. Lets say 80% of these guys are bloody ugly/disgusting... that leaves 12000. I'd bet she's maybe met AT MOST 5% of that, or 600 people... that leaves 11400 guys that she has no clue about, and yet chalks it up as a general rule. That's not only illogical, but downright naiive. Not just of her, but the morons that published her diatribe.

Why do we get upset? Why do people get upset when Sharon Stone said China's earthquake was karma? We're not the Chinese victims... we take note of it cause it was a stupid thing to say and have published for public discourse. Why would this be any different?

Calling out all Alberta men because of her negative experiences with a very small sample was a very arrogant, self-centered, egotistical and silly thing to do. The piss off and good riddance from Alberta was not uncalled for based on her instigation, and perhaps serves as a warning to those upstanding NY men. Again, we all found it funny because of the ridiculous attitude, so we'll make fun of it if we want to.
