Still working on polarizing men and women? Come on Broadsheet. It's about whether the political candidate is a he or she. It's about the right PERSON.
So Hilary wasn't good enough because she was privileged, now Palin ain't good enough either. Pretty soon you guys are gonna name even Condoleeza Rice, stating even she was too privileged to represent the average women. What's it going to take? Will the next woman to enter political heights also be shot down by Broadsheet, because she was too "lucky" or this or that? Broadsheet you're not doing women a favor by setting impossible standards that even your regular Joe wouldn't qualify for, in trying to run for any kind of office.
So you're saying that, if Jane the housewife should be able to reach where Palin is today to be considered a fair representation of "everyday women", how about Joe the Plumber?
This has been around for years. Cell phones make a loud sound now when the camera button is pressed, so is a dead giveaway. You have to catch this people fast when they try.
There's going to be a market for some people with this product. There are other ways to restore the hymen, but with these other methods you have to act fast. We've all heard of using things that sound gross but end up fooling the groom-to-be just fine.
The same advice applies for men too, apparently. The moment a man says those 3 words, the women's interest level actually *declines*.
So now it's just a staring game, whoever blinks first, loses.
It's fine to define boundaries, I think it's great that you know where you stand. If you want to save yourself until marriage, that's a good thing, shame on the critics.
Just some things to keep in mind though:
- When you do find yourself attracted to a man, and things move along to the point both of you are significantly disrobed...and you feel you really like this guy...it will very hard for both of you to hold back. For a man this is like seeing something beyond the window - he can see it, but he can't have it. This can be very frustrating, but in the heat of the moment there are other things that you of two you can without compromising your virginity.
I don't want to list all those, but be creative and there are ways to sexually satisfy each of you yet not move past your boundaries.
It was once stated to me by female friends:
"I will be abused by a man no matter what man I am with. Might as well be a rich man"
"I've been with rich and I've been with poor men. Rich is better"
"It is easier to love a rich man, than to love a poor one"
wow. Broadsheet's actually on her side. What would the suffragettes be thinking, hmm?
You can rationalize anything away, and convince others that you are in the right, regardless of what it is. For example how the cheater rationalizes to him/herself why the cheating was justified, and if the arguments seem strong enough, then suddenly everything's justified.
Let's just reduce it down to money for sex. All these woman's rationalizations had you fooled.
Now watch the floodgates open...won't be long before we have all kinds of people doing likewise - men AND women.
Easier to love a rich man than a poor one.
Easier to love a pretty girl, than an ugly one.
I find this hilarious. So as we can see, many of these women's true colors come out "without the scrutiny of feminists". hahah. Well ladies - it really doesn't matter what advances this feminist revolution have or have not taken.
Bottom line, many women just don't care, and it shows.
If it's an idea which gathers page hits and advertiser money, hey it's an idea to be exploited.
Look past the grossness and start looking at the $$$ potential.
we know the following:
- bloodied face appears on internet
- he did it
but in spite of that...
- she still loves him.
Conclusion? There are two sides to this story. The media loves to show only one side of it, because it makes a great cover story, and drives up traffic. Is this good for her, obviously we know the answer to that. Yet even these teens who are rushing to Chris Brown's defense, are being more impartial about this, than even you are, Traister. The interesting thing is that - it's not just boys who are defending Brown. The girls are, too.
There's something we can learn from this. Listen to the people around you, the kids with their views and what they have to say about the situation.
It takes two to tango. Old phrase, but it holds up here. What is Rihanna and Chris not telling us?
You can't have it both ways. That's what these feminists keep harping on. Have this, yet have that. Be this, yet be that. It's tiresome.
How about just do whatever you want, without feeling the need to justify it? Who cares what people think.
it's not such a big deal now, we all know we're looking for the next shocker.
have you tried an exorcist?
