When There's A Will, Some Like to Get Others to Take the Way for Them

There is a blog – I won’t name names – that I despise for a variety of reasons. However, I check it from time to time because I like frustrating myself and I can't help but want to know what ridiculous crap is expounded upon as if there is some wisdom behind it, which then enrages me. Not long ago, a post ended by posing a question: if women can use their feminine charms to get men to serve us, why should we ever do anything for ourselves?

Oh, I don’t know – maybe for self-respect? Self-determination? Pride in one’s abilities? A sense of accomplishment?

Silly moi!

Feminine charms do very little to protect you when chivalry turns to threats, manipulation, or outright violence. It sound a lot like some awful stereotype of Southern gender roles - very Gone With the Wind. Although I know plenty of Southern feminists who have rejected such nonsense. So I guess the unnamed blogger is just an idiot! :-)

I thought you talking about me for a minute.

For those of you who are unsure of whom I refer (and it is most definitely not Eddie!), I avoided using a name deliberately, as I do not feel like being harrassed again by her associates, which is not likely to happen if I don't mention the name or provide a link. As I am still a snarky bitch, email me if you want details. (My email link is on my profile.) You just gotta promise not to rat me out.
