It's about time
It's been a long time since I was inspired to write and my latest inspriration--the woman who wrote about her sexual encounters with Duke Lacrosse players. First of all, I can't beleive this was national news--REALLY! Don't we have more important things to spend valuable news time on? Secondly, I say--It's about time and good for her. Men have been putting the proverbial notches on their belts talking and laughing about their sexual exploits with women, they have had lists of the good and bad, they have had the committed relationship and a girl on the side. Newsflash-- I know it's shocking but sometimes women are just in it for the sex--they aren't always looking for a relationship. Good for her and I love it that she turned the table on them. By the way, for the record, I really hate the expression, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free." when talking about couples who are living together. Guess what? Maybe the cow doesn't want to be bought or in this case be married. Newsflash--women don't need to be taken care of anymore and marriage usually means that both the husband and wife work and the wife still has to do everything around the house. (For the record--I am not one of those women.) I feel bad for the guy who was ranked 10th and I'm sure it's not fun to have something like that circulated then having it make national news but I love it that she did it.

I don't see it as a male or female issue. It's one thing to banter about one's exploits with others in person, by phone, or even e-mail. But posting as she did just seems in poor taste. Juvenile. Put her creativity to better use, I say!
ReplyDeleteI wish there were no tables to be turned, but I get the whole need to balance 'things' out. Just not sure THIS was the way to do that.
News wise, I see the reason for the coverage as being more in keeping with the ongoing story concerning the overall clunkiness and unmanageability of the Internet and it's countless forums. And the harm that such impulsive, and usually regrettable later, actions wreak in instant fashion. Again, guy or girl -- it was, is, a bit over the top. Sensationalistic.
