Someone (a girl I went to grade school with) just posted this on Facebook saying 'Love it!'

50 Things Women Wish Men KnewIs it just me, or is this the most stupid and sexist list anyone's ever read? ALL WOMEN DO NOT WANT TO BE MADONNA, AND BUYING US MANOLO HEELS WILL NOT GET YOU OUT OF THE DOGHOUSE. WHAT THE FUCK IS A MANOLO SHOE ANYWAY. IF YOU

What is a manalo shoe? Does it glow? Does Barry Manalo's dulcet voice come from speaks every time you step?

Materialistic people are totally un-understandable.

[otakuwench]

Ahaha I totally lol'd, I wish I had shoes that did that. >__<

I just don't understannnnnd wrryyy. Sigh.

I hate lists like this....so dumb. Sexism is still as rampant as it ever was.

[otakuwench]

I know, I was like, did someone seriously pay this person to make a list of the most rampant generalizations about relationships that they could come up with?! Ugh.

[elipie]

I HATE these sorts of lists, especially when they're written by a woman. It makes us all look bad. :/

[otakuwench]

Right? Generalizations, ahoy. -___-

[mordyn4]

I don't think a woman wrote that. Pehaps a retail lobbyist or something?

[otakuwench]

Srsly. Pretty sure 'Lisa Jones' is a pen name for Sexist McGeneralizationpants. why yes that is a totally believable non-made-up name

Banolo Blahnik (I'm not sure I spelt it right) makes really uncomfortable and overpriced shoes. Mainly stiletto heels obviously. I know this because I used to watch Sex in the City and I read the magazines at my dentists.

All lists and articles in lifestyle magazines seem to write about some strange type of alien human being (both men and women) that I have never met and hope to never meet.

Strangely enough some of the biggest sexists are women themselves...

(I'm not clicking on the link to see the actual link because I'm in a bad enough mood as it is.)

[otakuwench]

Yeah, I figured they were some sort of strappy hateful heels... >.> (And don't get me wrong, I have tons of pretty and relatively uncomfortable high-heeled shoes - but none of them have a brand name on them and I've never spent more than $100 on a pair...)

I've never met a person like that either. It's like a cutout stereotype of a person rather than the real thing.

Yeah, the list is actually enormously frustrating, because you have to click separately between each item on the list and wait for it to load - it isn't just one big numbered post. (I stuck it out hoping there would be one or two worthwhile things on it, and ended up just finding even more ridiculous generalizations. -___-)

I have to confess to having spent way over 100$ on shoes. I'm an expensive shoe kind of girl. Only I get comfortable practical expensive shoes that last. I buy a lot of campers for example. But no more expensive shoes for me now, not till I find a new job! (Even though I have my eyes on these absolutely adorable crocs:

Look at all the colours they come in!)

This was a useless comment of uselessness. I'm still high from all the London air I have been breathing!

And fezes are very very cool! I always wanted one, but I didn't think I could get away with the tassel...

[otakuwench]

Haha those are really cute! I have to keep a firm hold on myself when I see awesome shoes that are too expensive (I have a pretty large collection of pretty heels and nowhere to wear them...) so I try to cut myself off. >.>

Have fun in London! Good luck with all the moving business!

I ♥ my fez. I like to flop around my house in it and pretend I'm the Doctor from Doctor Who. :D
