ETA: Is it me, or does this list seem particularly ... lame this year?

Yes! And middle-class. I'm on an email list that's mostly middle-aged middle-class women, and they were all a-twitter about it last year; I mentioned (as irihs made me think about it years ago with her comments) that I found the list presumptuous and condescending, and crazy inaccurate. Someone responded back that I didn't know what I was talking about, and anyway, the list came from BELOIT, a highly-respected college. I decided to leave it at that.

"Beloit? Isn't that the sound a pebble makes when you drop it in a toilet?"
