It's been a bad week and it's just Monday...

Men's pro football league's first female RB unfazed by hard hits in debut | FOX Sports on MSN

First Ellen Page.
Then earlier today I discover women play hockey.
And now football.

Sure. It's arena football but still. Wasn't voting enough?

Now I know what "they" mean by slippery slope.

    Next, women will be leaving the kitchen in their droves and going out in public without their bodies being properly covered, in a God-faring way.
    And then men may have to start doing the vacuuming ... and then, and then ... Please world, just end!

    She looks really manly... Not that I have anything against her but

    Women look really feminine in the DPRK and they are more egalitarian then the US.

      I was watching women fight on the UFC last night.

      Darn women are taking away everything I hold dear.

      My whole life, I was thinking "If men go to war with women, and it gets messy...we can always at least beat them up".

      Now, I don't even have that!

      It used to be that if you made a pass at a women, she may slap your face...and you could make a joke of it. Now, they can knock us out! What about equality?

      Sure, they played with dolls, and we got GI Joe action figures. But I'm talking about them taking our jobs!
      Johnny Depp was up for the role of Wonder Woman. And, sure enough...the studios gave in to political pressure...and signed a woman to play Wonder Woman. Most of the good nanny jobs are going to women.

      Women can shop for men's clothes. But when they catch me in the Lingerie department at Victoria Secrets....I get stares.

      Women wear suits and get away with it, but if a man shows up for work in a dress...one time..he gets ridiculed. We have feelings, you know! And nobody explained to me what "Casual Friday" meant, anyway! It's unfair.

      My whole world is falling apart.

            Haha!

            I can quite easily believe that. :p

            Anyway, I commend you as "Stand By Your Man" is in my favorites.

            I always thought you sang "It's Raining Men" in the shower.

            Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

              It's easy to confuse the two. In the shower, I'm trying to sing while shampooing.
              Maybe the acoustics would be better if I turned off the water...and got rid of the back up singers.

              Man, sometimes I'd pay good money for some "Soap On A Rope" (remember that?)

              Sometimes I sing "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair".

                No, I don't remember that. I've never been in prison.

              Really? I always thought he sang Otis Redding's Love Man.
