According to a comment by the founder on the article, that's in the works going up online tommorow. They decided to do this one first because of winter weather in NYC vs SF.

... you mean it wasn't because of rampant sexism? Damn, there goes my flamewar.

...because like Horoscopes, Magazines telling us what we should eat/wear/say, and the rest, Men don't generally fall for this kind of thing.

Yet they're still funding this campaign to have women sent to them. Which is one of the saddest things I've typed in recent memory.
