Excerpt:
They don't need to make laws that keep women down and prevent equality. They just have to keep us preoccupied with ludicrous activities that distract us and keep us from learning, improving our brains, developing our physical strength, and asserting our right to equality by simply being there in equal numbers.
- How can a woman with outrageously long fingernails do ANYTHING sensible (or compete on an equal level with a man) when she is constantly worried about breaking a nail?
- How can a woman run or defend herself if she is wearing 4-inch heels?
- How can a woman focus on improving her brain when she has to spend 3 hours a day on her appearance?
- How can a woman THINK when she is eating so few calories and carbohydrates each day that her brain can't function normally?
I don't agree with all of it, and the extreme examples they use don't really apply to most women, but it's still a damn fine editorial. Rock on, ladies.
