Genuineness is sexy.

It’s true – but sadly a lot of women have this odd belief that they need a man, that somehow they’re not quite whole without one, and so they put up with more than they should, for fear of rocking the boat, of being alone. (…Once upon a time, when I was young and stupid, I was one of them.) Then again, blanket generalizations are, in general, dangerous in themselves. 😛

that guy writing about “women” has probably never met a real woman in his entire life.

I can’t say I fully agree with his opinions. Most of the GGW things are really just older teenagers finally out of their parents’ house and finally really having the chance to rebel. Further, a lot of girls really like doing the things that he claims they’re only doing for attention, and to look sexy. And they like it for reasons OTHER than what he’s mentioned. …

… It really is just a huge blanketed stereotype on his part, and while I could agree had he argued about women in the media, or media’s effect on real women, his generalization that all women everywhere are like that is just too broad. I’m not like that, and I really don’t know any girls personally who are. Are there girls who think that Paris really would make a good role model? …

… Without a doubt. But is the problem as universal as he says it is? Of course not. Further, it isn’t America that’s losing it’s moral grounds. There’s always been that argument, no matter where you are, that “This place is going straight to hell!” Were things “cleaner” back in the day? I don’t know if I’d even agree with that. Was the dirt just less pubicized? Yeah. Yeah, it was.

And finally, yeah, I looked at the pictures of Britney sans-panties last week. But his suggestion that people who let the popularity of pop-stars extend to the internet don’t care about politics or the world at large is completely false. I do care about these things, and I care about them a hell of a lot more than I care about Britney without panties. …

… But Britney without panties can only be found on the internet, whereas political and moral ideas can be found pretty much everywhere. Today, I read USA Today, Newsweek, watched five separate news broadcasts on three different channels, and listened to NPR for a good hour … do I need to go on? But have people online seen my girly bits? Yeah. They have. And I don’t need to justify that.

It just pisses me off that there are guys who think like that really think that they’re intelligent and that in stating their supposed large, universal truth, that they’re helping the masses. It’s quite the contrary. Without really even thinking about it, hundreds of people will just blindly agree and exhault him like he’s a god.

Real women are not the women he’s writing about in his article. What’s sad is that I imagine few people will realize that, as he doesn’t even seem to have realized it himself. Paris Hilton is not a positive role model. Only a fraction of a fraction of a percent of Americans would ever even begin to think that she could be. Period.

It’s good to know there are men out there who get this.
