- From the page: "But I'm tired of watching young girls try and be everything at once, and only succeeding at communicating one aspect of who they are because we've taught them nothing about subtlety or true self-respect (or how to put on clothing that covers their drafty parts). Maybe I'm just getting old. Or distracted by my own hotness." ---- LOI

- "Look at my boobs! I am very smart!" As hard as it is, I will resist the urge to quote this entire page verbatim. This brilliant woman has composed a hilarious and poignant essay on feminism and pop music, thoroughly dissecting the paradoxical attitudes of today's western women. Absolutely wonderful... one of my all-time favorite stumbles. From the page: I suppose it comes down to this: The culture we’ve developed for young women has made blunt-force sexuality synonymous with empowerment, and THEN asked those same girls with the visible thong and two-foot cleavage to make sure that men notice their hearts, too. How about we don’t dress them up like Paris Hilton, and then ask them to tuck a copy of the Iliad in their hobo bag? How about we keep Joe Francis away from institutions of higher education? How about we tell them to ignore any man who needs reminding that they have a brain? ...and... LOOK AT MY NAVEL! I KNOW DEAD LANGUAGES! I repeat: Brilliant. :)

- I absolutely LOVE this blog entry. All women everywhere should have the chance to read it. It's up for an award in Canada, and I really hope this great writer keeps up the good work!

- What I want to say, but better put: "The culture we've developed for young women has made blunt-force sexuality synonymous with empowerment, and THEN asked those same girls with the visible thong and two-foot cleavage to make sure that men notice their hearts, too. How about we don't dress them up like Paris Hilton, and then ask them to tuck a copy of the Iliad in their hobo bag?... How about we tell them to ignore any man who needs reminding that they have a brain? Don't get me wrong: I LOVE a good wallop of chemistry to get things going, and there's nothing wrong with enjoying that chemistry for a while before you go anywhere else. Girls can like that physical spark as much (or more) than guys. And perhaps I own one or two shirts that don't come all the way to, say, my chin (ONLY THE ONE, DAD.) But I'm tired of watching young girls try and be everything at once, and only succeeding at communicating one aspect of who they are because we've taught them nothing about subtlety or true self-respect (or how to put on clothing that covers their drafty parts). Maybe I'm just getting old. Or distracted by my own hotness."
