I just read this extremely irritating article by some git named “Tad” who spends way too many paragraphs whining about how British women are inferior to American women because donât put enough effort into making themselves sexually attractive to men such as himself. I want to slap this guyâs snotty face clear off his body. In case we get the wrong idea and think he actually likes or respects American women, though, he also spends the second part of the article smugly sniping at how American women, while much better looking and well-groomed, can be TOO obsessed with their looks and therefore shallow. Also they take themselves too seriously (silly bitches!), are gold-digging sluts because they want to know what kind of job a man has, and think they are equal to men in the bedroom! Oh, and they think a guy cares what they do for a living! Haha! Women working and female equality: What a funny joke!
A telling quote about the author’s prescription for women’s behaviour:
Another part of the problem is that women in Britain do not help each other. American women have no qualms about telling their friends, in no uncertain terms, when they look like crap, or have put on weight, or are dressed like a bag-lady. They talk of the top aestheticians with a reverence usually reserved for Nobel laureates and trade cosmetic surgeon business cards the way that boys in playgrounds trade football cards. In Britain, women are too polite to set their friends straight.
Oh yes. I agree. There must simply be more petty, appearance-based insults between British chicks. Female solidarity and support is so déclassé.
The one saving grace of British chicks is that at least they care about their shoes. Unfortunately, “ladies, the only time a man will notice your shoes is if your feet are wedged on top of his shoulders bouncing either side of his head.” CLASSY.
So, what should women do? Should they Botox their faces in an attempt to appeal to men? Or does that make them stupid and shallow? Should they spend money on clothes to make themselves look nice, or is that totally pointless unless they’re actually putting out? Should they get a personal trainer and work out so they don’t become obese objects of ridicule who have to wear “control-top granny pants”? Or would it be self-important and arrogant to have a personal trainer, as he later suggests? Should they sit home alone with the television, teased for being “old maids”, or should they go out on dates and have sex–the whores!? Which is it? Oh please enlighten me, for my tiny American lady-brain is SO CONFUSED!
