June 12, 2007 When did it become acceptable to brag about being a bitch? Even more importantly, what type of person would feel it's acceptable to brag about being nasty and self-centered? I'm sure you've seen those t-shirts and bumper stickers that say "I haven't been the same since the house fell on my sister" and "well-behaved women don't make history." As if anyone wearing that shirt has done anything significant to improve the lot of humanity or feminism. What they're really saying is "I'm a pretty horrible person who doesn't treat people well and I don't care to change because no one but me is worth caring about." I don't want to hear that ridiculous excuse that "if a man is aggressive they call him successful but if a woman is aggressive they call her a bitch." What a load of crap. A man who behaves as a male bitch (mitch?) is called a dick by most people, not successful or aggressive. The only people who admire a guy who acts like that are women. Most men aren't like that and we don't admire that self-centered aggressiveness or nastiness. Why, in their quest to be strong, would some women emulate the worst characteristics of the worst men? And why then brag about it? Copyright 2007 Carl Birkmeyer |
