[net.misc] Boot the Big Boy?

tfp@busch.UUCP (tom thumbs) (04/12/85)

    What kind of sexism is this? "Big Boy", huh?
    How about "Big Momma"? Or "Big Chick"?  The female chauvinist capitalists
who control the restaurant industry have oppressed men for too long with
this portrayal of men as fat mindless burger-carrying twits.
    This is not just limited to Big Boy's, either.  Could you call
Ronald McDonald a positive role model? How many young males have been led
to believe that their role in life is to be a stupid clown peddling
hamburgers?

    Obviously, "Big Boy" should be changed to "Big Person".

Back when I lived in Cleveland, they were Manner's Big Boys.
(Or is that "When I lived back in Cleveland..."?)

How come the folks at cwruecmp or ncoast didn't contribute on
this one?  How come I had to mention this all the way from Colorado?
