I don't get it.
No,but you were definitely in my mind's eye when I drew the wimpy small dicked assholes bending over to their master....
Tropical babe-types in bikini-tops and sarongs are just as capable of being strong, obnoxious, and awful as older women who are not conventionally attractive. Please also give the former group (which, incidentally, is number 23 on the list of "the last minority it's o.k. to make fun of"s) the respect implicit in admitting that they are human enough to be quite vicious (in all senses) and fanatickal[sic].
I saw no article only a cartoon. Strong woman? What does that mean? In my life I have met nice people and miserable, mean-spirited, snotty, anal retentive, and nosy, harassing, bitchy people, of both genders. The only people who someone might call strong are those who quietly do as they believe they should and who serve their husbands/wives as they would wish to be served, with honor, jolly demeanor, concern when necessary and cooperative attitudes.
Only fools and victims marry people who create problems out of nothingness. I recall waking up in the room of this gal I was dating and hearing her yelp because I left the toilet seat up. She said it was a sign of disrespect for her gender. My reply was that leaving the seat down, by the same token, was a sign of disrespect for my gender, After my shower and on the way out of her house, I saw some man hating books in here bookcase.
We had similar runs in on gender issues of her making over the next few weeks. She saw men not as individuals but as an enemy or an exploitive "gender." I broke it off. She called from time to time, but I would have none of it. She started dating a friend of mine who told me she was "a strong women."
They married, she henpecked him right out the door. He had always been a wimp and that was what she thought she wanted. She called again. I demured. She married thrice more and called after each to try to win me back, no-thanks. I told her once there are only a handful of things about which to have grave concern: Losing a job, having a serious illness, losing a friend or a child or going to war.
There are enough real problems in life with marrying someone who manufactures them out of whole clothe.
She wasn't strong, just stupid and domineering. Strong is not losing sleep over petty matters and learning to trust those you claim to love and not giving them marching orders. Last I heard she was in analysis... for the third time. Her mother had similar problems and cheated on every man she claimed to love, Bye, Bye, don't call us, we'll call you, is my way of dealing with the likes of her!
Perhaps Opus is having intimacy problems.
are more concerned that Clinton will fuck the country.
Just the same ol' shit. If you're scared of a woman for her strength, you should try to pull her down by insulting her physically. Cuz that's all that women are really for, is lookin' good for the menz and if they get out of line you can make them cry by drawing ugly pictures of them and insinuating they have Failed As Women because they are tooooooo scary and ugly for you to want to fuck!
It's so funny to remind everyone what you think women's place really is! Lighten up, it's just a joke! The same old joke! Ha! Ha! Ha!
were you the model for the woman going for napalm?
Soma: it's what's for dinner!
If you think continuing to encourage reliance on oil with gimmick that doesn't amount to a pittance will help the working poor, you are seriously deluded. The working poor need an alternative to oil more than anybody.
In Europe, where the price of gasoline is at least double what we pay, the working poor have been driven into the sea I suppose. Correct?
This must have a sequel coming. What will it be like ?
It's not just strong women that make me anxious. All strong opinions that admit no conversation, no dialogue that leave me with anxiety.
There is only one answer! You must comply! That makes me anxious.
If you find the one true path; remember, that's your path not everyone else's path. And the true path you find, might only be good for today, tomorrow you might have to go back to cutting the underbrush.
Oh, ha ha I get it. Let's see: This penguin is up in a tree and some buff surfers try to lure her with seducative calls. To her horror they morph into fat, ugly old guys carrying signs saying "McCain for President."
Now that's funny. Actually, not.
And you can make up one for Obama, if you wish, which would be equally not funny.
People!
It is not about Hillary!
It is not about Women- strong or otherwise.
IT IS ABOUT THE popular reasonable-ness OF HILLARY OR WOMEN FOR HILLARY!
It is not even Opus's or Breathed's
It is about what we all think is being popularly associated with this issue!
DANG! 30 years of irony massage and some of us still do not understand the common practice of parody unto the common practice of generalizing the common practice.
BREATHED IS NOT AL CAPP (Li'l Abner) He is not Jimmy Haitlo (They'll Do It Every Time; Li'l Iodine etc) He is not McNelly or Borgman.
He has no Mantis in this fight! He is showing us thinking about us and our own thinking about us.
That is why he is called OPUS and not "Gasoline Alley" or Conrad.
Opus is not "Joe and Bill" in the trenches, unshaven discussing an actual Truman or Stalin.
He is a Penguine discussing how we jaded-by-the-media readers and nonreaders discuss ourselves discussing Hillary and mythical Hillbots and their flamethrowing.
PEOPLE! grow a discernment mechanism amoung your American Idol Balloting glands and hardwiring!
SSSSCHEEEEEESCH!
