Bitchy Women

beandelphikiWent to the library today - I changed clothes more times than a Gap model b/c things showed. Man, do I ever need to get my cheap ass a new binder.
An old issue of Esquire caught my eye - "Be a Better Man." Not like I feel I'm failing hugely in that area, mind you, but there's always room for improvement, and I was curious.
Mary-Louise Parker: "Don't make jokes about homosexuals, minorities or dead people unless you are one." Man, do I beg to differ. She probably meant tasteless jokes...still...I believe everyone should try to have a healthy sense of humor about everything. So, go ahead. Make jokes about homosexuals, minorities or dead people. Even if you aren't one.
Other statements that bothered me:
Kristin Davis: "Let the woman be right. For once."
Mary-Louise Parker (again): "Pick up your damn trash."
I so hate stupid, shallow or bitchy women. Now, I don't know these actresses, maybe they just chose this one opportunity to be bitchy, but... Really, if you consistently date men who can't clean up after themselves, whose fault is that? Maybe they were just addressing jerky men in general, but I don't enjoy getting bitched at.
Seriously, they sound like the girls in my school who dye their hair blond, wear too much blue make-up and jeans w/o waistbands, and then complain to me that boys don't respect them.
To which I reply, "Honey if you want a guy to respect you, first be worthy of respect." I love girls who are independent, and don't take crap off guys, but don't jump on the "bash-guys-'cuz-they're-all-stupid-assholes" bandwagon just to be cool. It's quite true that straight white guys are the only people it is still socially acceptable to bash.
Not to jump on the "we-poor-down-trodden-straight-white-guys" bandwagon, or anything. ;)
