The Nefarious Dr. Glub-Glub

Sexism, and the single white male.

So I was surfin' around my favourite adult Roleplaying forum and one of the ladies has a cute logo as her avatar. I found it rather amusing. It was this:

Funny right?  But then I got thinking... What about one for the guys? Only fair, right? But suddenly, my mind snapped, 'No, that would be sexist!' And then I thought about it some more... Isn't THAT already pretty sexist? Or are we so used to boy-bashing that we don't see it anymore?

Seriously, most of the guys I know would take a look at this and laugh, getting the joke. But if you reverse it, with a girl in a collar, the uproar would never end. And it's not all women, in fact, it's not even the majority that would be upset, but the 'feminists' (Not the real ones, the ones that can be called 'Feminazis', a rather loud sub-sect that use the smallest reason to blow any percieved slight against their gender, real or imagined out of proportion against men, usually successfully) would be all over it.

When has being a Straight White Male become a bad thing?  Did I miss the memo? You'd think that something this big would be passed around...

And is the sort of message we should be sending children? I was looking around for a counterpart picture, and I came across an article. childadvocate.org/1f_antiboyattitude.htm   Now, I haven't really read it because, personally, sites like this tend to overreact and get all alarmist. But... The images are from a series of girl's T-Shirts, which are apparently the company's best selling line. That saddens me, and those images are, to me, a tad much. They can put that much hate into shirts for little girls, and get away with it?

Maybe, I'm a freak. I've never really been one to ride the coat tails of any of the 'fads'. I remember my early school days, when boys thought girls were 'icky' or had 'germs', I used to be confused about it, actually, I still am. And as I do now, if I don't understand the reasoning behind it, I don't follow it. Which is what I did back when I was 7-11. Hell, I had a girl I used to walk home with, but we were just friends. Although she went through the 'boys are icky' phase from time to time. Confusing the living hell out of me. But it would only happen once a week, or so. And I admit I did do the 'girls are icky' thing, but if she was waiting to go home, I'd happily walk with her, completely forgetting I was supposed to dislike girls. So maybe, I'm the wrong type of person for this.

But you know what?  I want a counterpart. With a Boys Rule logo, a girl on her knees and leashed, and FUCK YOU those of you who get upset.

In fact, I want one with TWO guys and TWO girls, for the Gays and Lesbians. Why should they be left out?

End of Line.

Funnies that aren't.

Not that anyone really reads this outside of maybe... One person, but I had to relate this.

So, I'm down to the last three bucks out of my $40 monthly food budget (Snerk) and I decide I want some chips. And so I go to my local Loblaws with a neighbour. Now, during this time we're joshing around and I'm, as always repeating silly little things I read over the internet (Because I'm not that funny normally anyway.) And apparently, we were being stalked by this older woman for some reason. I dunno, but I spotted her in the three rows we were wandering around. Anyway, so finally we get to the cashier, some kid, and my neighbour calls me a jerk, joking as he always does. I turn to him and say, "Nah, if I was I'd've said something like this: 'Women are like parking spots, all the good ones are taken, and the free ones are handicapped.'" Which by the way is another sexist and mysogynistic one liners I picked up off the internet, not something I believe in. But for whatever reason the stalker lady, who was JUST behind us, gets all affronted and says loudly, making sure the entire store can hear... (Well, OK, I exaggerate, but not by much, I'm pretty sure the meat counter was listening in) "You really ARE a jerk!"

To wit, I come up on the spot, "No, Ma'am, if I were, I'd be gettin' laid."

Wow! I made a funny. The cashier was trying REALLY hard not to laugh, while the oldster in front of me gave us a grin, and the lady, well, I ignored her from then on, so I'm not sure what her reaction was, not that I cared, I just wanted her out of my conversation.

But y'know what? It's not really... I didn't find it funny then and I still don't. It's actually kind of sad at just how true that statement is. If it was just the screw ups and losers that get stuffed here in the YM/YWCA, then I could dismiss it, but everywhere I go, I hear these horror stories about So-and-so's significant others are lazy/cheated/useless so on and so forth, usually by the offended woman... It really makes me sad. And it's on the buses, on the street, over the cellphones... Hell, during my brother's wedding there was another bunch of people, and one woman was especially bitter than there was a wedding taking place when she just went through a divorce. That made me feel wonderful...

Oh well, c'est la vie.

End of Line.

This may be offensive to some viewers.

So I was talking to my friend yesterday and the topic of sports comes up. And this is what he had to say on the subject of Football:

Mint says:

Well, think about it, what is Sunday football with the guys: You get a bunch of overweight, sweaty, men piled together in claustrophobic closeness; yelling, whooting, wooping, grunting, heaving against each other while stripping off or ripping clothing and showering each other with and sometimes drinking each other's smelly, yellow liquid.

Mint says:

And then they start wrestling for fun with each other.
