I
am
appalled.
This…”article“…
The lead should read: Just when you think the women of the world were ‘progressive’…well think again.
The entire article is aimed at [get this:] fashion trends that repel men. Don’t believe me? It’s no joke people, I wish it weren’t so.
Now realistically, my little corner of the net isn’t visited. I’m no idiot, I check the stats when I log in. The only comments I get, save for one, are ping-backs. That’s some sort of pity comment auto-generated by WordPress. Heck, I’m TWEETING TO MYSELF [follow me?].
So really, I won’t influence anyone against this…chick [not a nice term for those who assume it isn't a sexist term - but I'm not the kind to toss around the b-word unless I've had a few Sex on the Beaches] but her blog may, with its numerous followers unfortunately. So really, I’m just ranting to myself, but nonetheless, it needs to be said.
[Ok, here she goes...look out!]
You see, the thing is, in this little peach I like to call the 21st century, we women folk are not obligated to impress the men folk. We do NOT have to wait around for a man to approach us, manrepeller, we approach them if need be. And we do NOT have to wear a skirt to attract a man. We can do that with what I like to call ‘intellect.’
1 a : the power of knowing as distinguished from the power to feel and to will : the capacity for knowledge
1 b : the capacity for rational or intelligent thought especially when highly developed
2 : a person with great intellectual powers
3 : a woman who understands that attracting a man by wearing something out of Playboy [oh wait, they have women in pant suits...like guys ever fantasize about THAT. It's repelling!] that you’d see on a loose 18-year-old at da club: skirt, tank top, hooker heels – attracts the most pig-like men and are therefore to be worn when the point of the outing is to attract such oinkers or to just feel better about yourself when you dance with your gals and vocally/physically repel those men whence you are finished dancing
4 : a little gift from the gray matter between your ears that helps you decide that you do NOT want to be a stereotypical skank in a skirt [except at times mentioned in #3], and that you want to express your individuality while respecting yourself
Wearing pants or boy-like clothes does not, a manrepeller make. Being an intellectual-looking girl in a bar surrounded by men who are looking for a *whistle noise* and go may make someone feel like a manrepeller, but put that same girl in an advanced college class and see how many advances are made. It’s the audience, not the clothing.
So respect yourself, wear whatever you want to, and PLEASE do not base your ability to attract men on what you should be wearing. Try going for what’s between the ears, not what will get you between the sheets.
But hey, what do I know, I’m half lesbian for christ’s sake. I only wear pant suits and play sports, right?
