annoyance
Today I walked into Del Taco for Taco Tuesday, and I see this banner in the middle of the store. The text is something like this 'We support the bold' 'To every '4' that landed a '10.' On the banner there is a stereotypical geek with curly hair and glasses, mouth shut, chin up, with one hand in his jacket pocket and one on a woman's waist. The '10' in question. She is wearing a sequined silver dress not exactly suitable for day time wear, her hair is flowing in true model fashion, and her lips are slightly parted and hips swayed out.
The message is clear. If you are a geek, there is still hope for you to 'land' a ten. After all you are still a man, and she is nothing but a woman, albeit a pretty one. And no matter dating her or wooing her, you are 'landing' her.
In other words, you own a beautiful woman.
Women, you are only valued for your beauty, men, you can judge and rate a woman based on your specific needs. Fantastic.
Sometimes I think I am crazy because these things bug me yet no one else seems to care. But then I know I'm not. I will not be 'landed' and I will not be rated on a scale of one to ten. I hate the way sexism is normal in our society. It makes me never want to go outside again, because when I do, I want to throw acid on people.
I am angry and I feel helpless because there is not much I can do. It fucking sucks.
