Blame Evil Woobie. She asked my opinion on bra burning in the comments on this post.
I’m going to start with a quick way of saying my beliefs on feminism: My daughter wanted to play flag football. My wife and I let her. Her team was undefeated.
Now for the long version:
I believe in a woman’s rights. I believe that a woman can burn her bra1, be a wrestler, play football, etc. I’ve had this conversation in college before and some women tried to argue with me2 that women can’t do everything men can do. They would tell me “Well, I can’t fix a car. I can’t lift tons of weight. I’m weaker than a man. I’m… I’m… I’m…” The problem with that argument is the “I’m.” Sure, some women can’t do what some men can do. Heck, some men can’t do what some men can do. Some women can’t do what some women can do. Everyone is different. However, as a group, I believe that women have in their capabilities everything men do.
There are women who can lift hundreds of pounds. There are women who can play football, soccer, basketball, etc. better than most men and sometimes better than the men who are known for the sport. There are women who are better drivers, mechanics, doctors, etc.
Again, and this is my own opinion and not just “I’m saying what I think you want to hear”, as a group, women3 are equal to men and should have all of the rights that come with that equality.
So, does that answer your question Woobie?

I thought Woobie didn’t wear a bra? If she had any true cleavage she’d be flaunting it like Charo on her entrecard. Or maybe her bra burst into flames on it’s own as the result of some miscast spell. Just joking woobie! malaki ang susu mo!

LOL @ Turnip hahaha…. your comment shows that knowledge of the Filipino language is a dangerous thing XD
@Saphrym
That satisfies my curiosity on your views on feminism. I hope you’d tackle more provocative subjects here.

@Turnip - Did you just call Woobie a big snail, or am I completely mistaken? I’m still learning the language.
@Woobie - Care to provide me with my next provocative topic?

Okie dokie.
I’m an expert on all things titties.
You must only burn your bra if you fall in to two or more of these categories:
1. Your boobs are perky
2. Your boobs are surgically enhanced
3. You have never fed a child with said breasts
4. Your nipples align somewhere on your ribcage (as opposed to your stomach) and do not point to the South Pole.
If you choose to burn your bra and do not fall into at least two of these categories I promise you that your life will be seriously hampered and I will be a part of the group that makes fun of your pendulous breasts.
In my 20’s I burned the bra.
In my 30’s I embraced it.
I suspect my 40’s will bring about a love of girdles.

Bad Saphrym…
“laughing can only type with one hand”
IMO…Women should….
1. Be seen and not heard.
2. In the kitchen makein’ diner.
3. Popping out lil ones.
4. Rubbing my feet.
5. Doing the laundry.
6. Stop asking gay-guys our opinion… We just want your man.
Ok, JK so don’t sick the US National Organization of Women (NOW), or bombard me with emails about Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

I think you are right. I think these same questions every time I run a 5K race. I am a male, and needless to say, I do not beat all of the women across the finish line. A good lot of females beat me! Both older and younger!

@Roel
Let’s just say the description is close enough.
@BE
“Stop asking gay-guys our opinion… We just want your man.”
I’m sure you can outflirt me anytime. XD
@Saphrym
yes Suso means snails and some other things too. Turnip’s been researching on Filipino words lately. I think he wants to read more pinoy blogs!
