Alert-Alert!

Okay, I had said awhile ago that I was going to try to quit man-bashing. Not that I thought I was ever a man-hater, but evidently the perception existed, so I'll own up to the BS call, and I've really tried to watch my mouth. And, additionally, I've always been a little sceptical of the All Women MUST Stick Together theory. Frankly, some gals make the rest of us look bad, and I don't roll like that.



But in this case, I'm going to have to put out the Sister Siren - cause frankly All Women MUST Stick Together on this one.



I just read this quote from a book called ‘‘Brocabulary: The New Man-i-festo of Dude Talk’’ by a man named Daniel Maurer. In it he defines the term ‘‘Trojan whores — hot chicks that you hide amidst in order to get into a club: ‘The doorman wasn’t going to let us in but we told these Trojan whores we’d buy their drinks all night if they took us in with them.’ ’’



Huh-what? Did he just call a group of women that he does not know personally "whores" on the basis that A) they are hot, and B) they are nice enough to let him ride their skirt tales to get into a bar. Uh-huh. Dude. Not cool.



I understand that he's bitter that it's easier for a hot chick to get into a bar than the rest of the world (i.e, him). But the reality of the matter is that when he gets in the bar, he wants hot chicks to be there - ergo . . . you do the math. Unfair to the rest of us who aren't hot chicks, but that's the way of the world. And the hot chicks did not make the rules, and it's not really nice to call them whores because they get past the velvet rope.



But that's exactly what he did. So I see 2 possibilities: either he's a bitter little troll who hates women, or he's a writer who makes money pandering to bitter little trolls that hate women. And, as they say, a difference that makes no difference is no difference. He's a troll no matter how you slice it.



So here's where our Girl Power Moment comes in. It's a free country, and he's allowed to say whatever he wants. But you also have the freedom of association. God Bless America. So you don't have to date this guy. You don't even have to talk to this guy. And you certainly don't have to ever help him get in a club. Cause he's going to turn around and call you a whore. Here's his picture for future reference:


Oh, and GIRL POWER!

And he's not even that hot. So, thats why he needs the hot girls to get into the club.

Yeah, I feel bad for him, and all his troubles. Oh, wait. Whore. Nope. All better. All sympathy just evaporated.

Hmmm. What could you call that concept instead? Glamo-flage? That's actually a bit more flattering. But probably wouldn't go with the whole "bro" asthetic he's looking for. Apparently negging is a way of life for those boys. Bleck.
