Where will you draw the line?

I know I’m going to sound like a prude, but fuck it.  I’m not.  (And evidence for that claim falls into the ‘too much information’ category.)  So, I’m going to ask:

If men want you to wear shoes with high heels and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to wear bras designed to push up your breasts and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to wear clingy leotards/tights/leggings without a skirt and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to wear wide-necked shirts that fall off your shoulders and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to wear short shirts that expose your belly and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to wear tops with plunging necklines that expose your cleavage and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to wear halter tops that leave everything uncovered except your breasts and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to wear very short skirts that expose your bum when you bend over and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to wear thong bathing suits that leave your ass cheeks completely uncovered and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to wear pasties that leave your breasts completely uncovered and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

If men want you to be totally naked and it becomes fashionable to publicly sexualize yourself in that way, you’ll do it?

Funny how male violence …

We’re not debating whether you exist.

John Mulaney on Drag Queens

Some excellent lines, for example:

“What is your notion of a woman based on?”

“[re mean and rude drag queens] You could’ve stayed a guy if you were going to be an asshole about it.”

If Laurel Hubbard was actually a woman…

Real Men have Breasts

I guess if ‘REAL WOMEN HAVE DICKS’ then real men have breasts, right?

Who should pay for housework?

“In strict economic terms, the almighty free market theoretically considers the work of women in the home to be without value, to be worthless.  It is recognized nowhere in the free market economic model” (The High Road, Terry Fallis).

Also true for the work of men in (and around) the home.

But I would not want to have to pay (via my tax dollars) other women for doing their housework.  Just as I would not want to pay men for their incessant puttering around (my god, one of my retired neighbours has, so far, built five little sheds on his property; it’s bad enough that I’ve had to hear every single cut made by his power saw, every single screw inserted with his power drill … you want me to PAY him for it as well?

The problem is that women do so much more of the work, especially if they have kids.  So the solution is for the household members to come up an equitable arrangement.  Or for the man to pay the woman to be cook and maid and childcare worker and the woman to pay the man for car repair and lawn services.  Or whatever.
