After that rant about women, I felt the need to point something out. Also, I want to respond to the troll comment I got. I usually don't talk about the stupid things men do for two reasons: I don't date men, and men don't have tits. Therefore, I am able to mostly ignore them (unless they are in front of me on the interstate driving 15 under the speed limit because they are eighty years old).
Now. College campus. Therefore, college age men. Therefore, annoyance factor high.
Most of them are the jock-type Abercrombie thugs. They wear shirts worth more than their annual dental care, they think they're tough. They get drunk a lot, they fight, they have sex a lot (they get herpes...), and worst of all, they talk about it. And they talk about it like it somehow makes them cool.
But mostly it's just that they talk about it. "Really. You hit him in the face? Like, with your fist? THAT IS SO ORIGINAL. I haven't heard this kind of story eight hundred times this semester already!"
Also, nine times out of ten, when someone is playing their (awful) music very loud in their car, it's a guy. Usually a guy who spent more on his sound system than he's ever spent in his life on books. The thing is, I could make fun of guys all day long, but I don't date them, I date women, and therefore I leave trashing guys up to... drumroll! People who date them.
Plus the reaction of a guy when you talk shit on guys isn't nearly as funny as what happens to a feminist's face when you say something like:
Q. What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?
A. Nothing. You already told the bitch twice.
Seriously. Tell that joke to a stuffy bitch, and watch her face. The joke itself isn't funny. The reaction is. "Men are stupid and horny" doesn't get much reaction, because guys know better. We're all horny and most of us are idiots.
Now, the troll comment. I actually deleted all of it because I have two rules. One, no all caps conversation in my presence. Two, I will not suffer stupidity. This is part of the comment:
De informs me he is an AOL user, which explains his logic. I like to look at breasts, and I masturbate because breasts arouse me... so I'm a homosexual.
So, wait. Run this by me again. Looking at women gets my motor going... and that makes me a homosexual, which by definition is being attracted to the same sex.
You voted for John Kerry, didn't you?
SO FUCK YOU YOU STUPID ASS FAGGOT AND STOP BEING SUCH A USELESS PIECE OF SHIT BY POSTING THIS SHITTY BLOG AS A CRAPPY ATTEMPT AT TRYING TO JUSTIFY YOUR SEXIST OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN!
Okay. Let's take this by the thought process, and translate it a bit. "Fuck you, you stupid as faggot." All right, he's mad. I never would have figured this out had he not said that, because I'm stupid ass. Right. "Stop being such a useless piece of shit." Well, if you insist. I'll stop blogging and start leaving comments linking to lemonparty.com (it used to be a shock site, now it's a domain holder -- but I guess he thought I was too stupid to know that). "Posting this shitty blog." Halt. That was not a blog. That was a blog post.
"...a crappy attempt at trying to justify your sexist objectification of women."
Okay, I wasn't trying to objectify anything. Let's play word of the day:
hu-mor
n.
1. The quality that makes something laughable or amusing; funniness: could not see the humor of the situation.
2. That which is intended to induce laughter or amusement: a writer skilled at crafting humor.
3. The ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is amusing, comical, incongruous, or absurd.
4. Something Danny Fratina lacks. His IP address is 207.200.116.135
I could be really funny and post his home address, phone number, and satellite pictures of his house. I'm a computer science major. We're funny like that.
I don't need to justify anything. One, I'm a blogger, and we're all crazy. Two, I'm a man, and I like women, and I like their bodies. So I look at nice looking women. Duh? And: Objectifying women is, by default, sexist. Duh?
Now, technically, I don't objectify women, because I don't just view women as sex objects. That's the definition. I've honestly loved women before. There are women I would knock a guy's teeth in for so much as hurting the feelings of. Some of them I've even drooled over and stared at their boobs.
But some women, yeah, they might as well just be tits. Tits with legs, actually, so they can run and jiggle.

Secondly, can someone explain to me how IP address lookups work? Like, I just used a couple different ones on the given IP; and I got Texas, California, and Oregon. What's with that? Additionally, when I lookup my home IP address, it comes up as Walnut Creek, CA - which is about as far away from me as one could get. What gives?
Posted by: shank at September 14, 2006 06:44 AMInteresting post. Not HALF as interesting as it was to me, though, just stepping in to read it as the top post on De's blog without knowing that a male guest-poster had the blog keys. I'm thinking "Damn, I didn't know De swung that way." And "Man, is PMS ever killing her today!" Reread again from the top, I promise you it's worth it!! Mwahahaha...
Posted by: G at September 15, 2006 12:07 PMHahaha! Now that was funny!
You know, G, after all the shit men have put me through, you're not too far off the mark now.
I might start swinging that way! ;)
De, women have put ME through a lot of shit, too, but there just ain't no realigning of my sexual radar. I'm hardwired one way. Although I don't blame you on thinking of switching. If I were a woman, I think I'd STILL love women. I just wish some guy would work on a pill to make women sane 4 weeks a month. You know, like we guys are... :)
Posted by: G at September 16, 2006 12:27 PMShit, G -- I'd be happy if they were sane ONE week a month.
Posted by: Adam Lawson at September 16, 2006 02:04 PMHEY! I never put you through any shit have I, G? *innocent blinking*
Posted by: Lisa W. at September 16, 2006 03:38 PMWhew! For a moment there I thought you were pissed off by my post about the study saying men are smarter than women. I only posted that as a joke.
Do you remember the old show nightstand? The mock talk show with Tim Stack? They had a character 'Bob' who excused all male faults with "we're men, we're sick and we need help!"
