i remember when...
i would get mad at my life because i didn't feel like any true, loud discrimination came my way. i would always say that God was protecting all the prejudice people in the world from me because as SOON as they would discriminate me or say something prejudice around me, i would go off with joy.
then i became gay...no wait...then i came out of the closet.
but that's not really why i am posting right now. i am posting on my incredible surprise (shock, really) of how present-day, educated, professional women could still be so freakin STUCK IN THE PAST when it comes to their relationships with men. let me explain...on my way to get brittany from work this evening...that is tonight...september 30, 2008...i was listening to 99.5 like i usually do and kim iverson was on.
she was talking about the issues of money and dating and she literally said (i'm paraphrasing): i don't like to pay for things when i'm in a relationship because i don't want to emasculate the man i'm with. i know they like paying for things so i have no problem letting them. (it gets worse...stay tuned) and you know, when i get married and we have joint accounts, i'll let him take care of all of the finances and put all my money in the account and just let him take care of it....that way when we go out to dinner he can get his card out and it at least *seems* like he's paying...even if it is my money. i just don't want to emasculate him by paying for his meals or his things.
really...those were her words...
dear. ms. kim iverson,
i never really liked you. purely from a radio perspective, i don't like your voice and i don't like that you talk more than you play music, especially since you have a late-night show. but my beef against you has intensified. first of all, you market your show as "your time with kim iverson" or something like that, insenuating that your show is for women, by women, yada yada yada...BULL SHIT! every single night, you have a different issue that apparentley is supposed to pertain to women. however, you neglect to include the fact that the only women they pertain to are probably on their way to tiki bob's...no offense to tiki bob's...i go there on occasion...but you get what i'm saying. so okay, kim iverson, not only are you not addressing ALL of the issues women today are facing and are acquiescing to a gossip mag-style of dialogue...but you are literally going to perpetuate an incredibly REGRESSIVE point-of-view in dating. you can't pay? really? you assume that paying is going to emasculate your man and...first of all...you're okay with that? and second of all...you're willing to sacrifice your own empowerment and self-sufficiency to make sure your man's ego is intact? i am ashamed of you...as a woman...i am ashamed of you. you have made a pretty good life for yourself. you have your own radio show and it's your's! you're not even a man host's sidekick, trying to reach out to a demographic. you are good enough to be chosen as a voice to fill listener's ears for four hours of their day...but you choose to talk about the fact that you need to be sure not to emasculate your man and take away his masculinity. once again...i am ashamed of you.
sincerely,
your former listener, myranda warden
