I don't mean to generlise (spelling) but, there are heaps of dudes round 14 and older who are really sexist. I'm talking to sexist to turn around and ignore it.. they make comments and jokes like 'get my dinner' and 'get back in the kitchen'. SOme assume we aren't capable of sport either.. i thought the new generation would be past the 1900's way of a-thinking.. is it possible to stop the madness??? peace, Billie
Sure there is. Tell them simply, "Buy me stuff", "skin me an alligator" or as I prefer, "Die in a ditch you chauvanistic jackal!"
The best revenge is to never date those guys. My youngest brother is a very sexist 19-year-old virgin. A coincidence? I think not! He'll say stupid shit like, "Women just want men for their money. Women just use men all the time. Blah blah blah." I always respond with, "What do you know about women or money?" I also tell him that even though I'm a bit older than him, I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of women prefer men who bathe and change their socks. (I know there are a few of you who claim to like that 'natural' scent, but you haven't smelled my brother! ) I also tell him that the reason he doesn't date is because he's saying sexist crap all the time. He says he's waiting for girls to ask him out! :H I told him that when I was his age I didn't ask guys out, they came to me. 19-year-old girls don't usually have to put out a lot of effort.
Amen, Levi, sister! OMG, I just choked on my drink. (Had to really stress that one with my son, as well as one of my dds. "Honey, BATHE! Yes, mama and daddy are hippies, but we do occasionally bathe our bodies from time to time...LOL!" Nuthin like that funky puberty smell that comes outta boys that age, yeesh.) Billie, for future reference, there will always be dudes like this. As Levi so wisely advised, these are the dudes NOT to ever date. My son is 14 and he's an avowed feminist. (Can't imagine why..... ) He can cook dinner, but also knows he'll get an education, so he can support a family, if and when that is what he wants to do with his life.
It's a defence mechanism. They're trying to push the pendulum back in the middle. Trust me, trying to date a generation of he-woman man-haters is no fun.
*snicker* he's just afraid to ask girls out, and when they don't ask him, he goes all sour grapes on the entire sex. though, for the record, teenaged girls, especially in roving packs, scare teh bejesus outta me. they're like evil flocks of geese: noisy, rude, and they bite.
AMEN! Teenaged girls are just evil. My little brother is having trouble with girls right now, one in particular. She'll flirt with him, tell him all these bad things about her boyfriend, and then when he says he loves her, she'll tell her boyfriend so Jim can get the shit kicked out of himself. Then, when he calls her to tell her what happened, she'll say she hates him and that he was lying about her saying her boyfriend's abusive. This back and forth head-game. I told him that next time this little girl pulls that, hire one of her friends to sock her in the mouth. *shrugs* Didn't think there was much else he could do. Ignoring her doesn't seem to work.
I refuse to believe this one. I refuse. Women are upright, moral, honest, sweet, sugar and spice and everything nice, rant rave blah. Women are oppressed, they are beaten down and downtrodden and paid fifteen cents for every dollar of a man, expected to work longer hours and in more dangerous conditions to boot. Your little brother must be gay or have some deep rooted issues with women. *smirk* What's funny is that around 35 these little bitches will be unmarried tick tick tick goes the clock - and they'll be wondering where the men are who'll marry them and take them away from all this to a big Laura Ashley home etc. And the men will be like "payback time" and go for the 19 year old. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GENERATION HAS DONE
hehe. i was so abused by those bitches...but the guys got to me, too. teenagers should be locked away..
Well, I sent a pic of myself to KC. I'm a hot little blonde and I just found the perfect jeans, so I had to make sure my pert behind was showing. The biting of my fingernail was a bit much, but hey, ya gotta work it.
I know, I finally decided being frumpy was it, decided to stop hating my own kind. I went and got the manicure, facial, had my hair done. I wasn't so sure about getting it cut cause well, you know how much of a pain it is to grow out, and last time I did that was in the 80s, when everyone had that short haircut... the horror.... Well, finding jeans that fit just right without looking like mom jeans just did it. I splurged on the lipstick and nail polish. Pink's not a color I'd choose but it works so well with my coloring. Add to that I'd just come off a really bad time last month, cramps from hell, cravings from salt, retaining water like a mattress made of sponge, enh, it was time to perk right up.
the majority of all guys i know around my age are not exactly 'sexist' but something around that area. they only go out with hot girls, fuck them, then dump them. i hate it how our generation has turned too 'looks are everything' eg. on valentines day, my boyfriend showed up too my school to see me (i was with friends at the time) and he gave me flowers and present. when he left, all my friends were like 'ew, gross. hes ugly, how could you date him'. So, he wasnt exactly the best looking guy around but i liked him cause of his personality and it annoys the shit outta me when apparently personality means nothing anymore.
LMAO this thread is so funny. We kind of do live in a "looks are everything" generation. None of my friends have ever made sexist jokes, just some of my teachers. I'll be sitting in class and the teacher will say a sexist joke about women (half the class is girls, maybe most of it, I should count), and it might be kind of funny, then he'll say something else and be like "right guys?" and at that point its getting quiet, because most guys I know aren't really sexist. If all your friends value in a guy is look they are stupid. Realtionships based on looks last as long as the looks do, which usually isn't very long (once you really meet a person, and they are making slurp sounds at breakfast, I know its a pain, but its something you have to live with).
