I read this article (via One Man Army) about how it sucks to be a woman out and about and now I'm annoyed. Granted, I can agree that it takes preparation to be "cute" or whatever, but did she have to take the most hackneyed stance. Women have it so hard because we can't eat big dinners and have to teeter on 4-inch heels in short skirts all the time...Wah! What a crock of shit. I suppose the feminist is rising up, but of all things to complain about why does her focus have to be on the most superficial typical things like shoes, hair, makeup, nails, weight and dieting? What can suck about being a woman is that you can get harassed because someone feels that your body is up for commentary by the peanut gallery, that your strength can be undermined when people won't take you seriously because of what you look like, and that those who offer you that free drink can be under the false impression that you owe them something. But fuck that it "sucks because I have to spend a lot of time looking pretty" garbage. That's between you, Cosmo, and genetics.
