How insipid! I'm really glad to see that I am not the only female who thinks "girl power" can be taken too far -- men shouldn't be walked all over any more than women should! This kind of reminds me of how offended I get about those ridiculous calendars and birthday cards and whatnot that depict men vacuuming or cleaning dishes as "sexy" or "every woman's dream." I think it's demeaning. And imagine the uproar if men received calendars of women doing those things. It's a two-way street, folks!<br /><br />Haha okay sorry, didn't mean to make your blog an area for me to rant and rave!

Thank you.
Suze: Ha ha!...Friko: I am now in tears. Thank you.<br /><br />Suze: Ha ha! No names! I think they were probably perfectly nice. It's just that clique thing, you know? Popular girls vs. arty girls. :) You just happened to straddle the line better than most. My self-inflicted asymmetrical haircut did me no favors.<br /><br />Amanda: Mystery Date sounds like the story of my life! Who doesn't prefer the dangerous ones?? Hello, Clive Owen! I'm talkin' to you!<br /><br />Lorena: You SO hit the nail on the head with that one. Poor men. We expect so much from them! :)<br /><br />Loree: What, no Maltese cheerleaders?? :) I think college cheerleading is actually ok, except for the fact that I read somewhere it is the college sport that has the most injuries and fatalities. Those kids really work hard, and the routines are amazing. Otherwise, I HATE very little girls cheerleading (I'm sorry, the outfits are not cute to me, they are sexy) and the reason I don't like high school cheer is that I feel it's just a weird thing at an age when girls are really trying to figure out so much about who they are as individuals, and discovering more about their sexuality. To me it isn't innocent. And professional? Well, that's glorified stripping!!<br /><br />Julie: THANK YOU!! I will pick up my awards soon!!! Ah, a mute button would be universally useful. :)<br /><br />Susan: I know, right? I should have remembered that they like Hamlet best....:)Maggie Asfahani Hajjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250678324642063148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831415821473910792.post-67047922062085020492011-09-13T19:47:10.369-06:002011-09-13T19:47:10.369-06:00"I also made sure to load up exciting apps li..."I also made sure to load up exciting apps like Math is Awesome and King Lear For Grade Schoolers."

I find it so sexist but when I said that to some of my American husband's friends, they thought I was just a crazy European. Oh well, now I can direct them to this post :) Maggie has spoken.

So this would have been perfect for me :-) Ha ha!<br /><br />What a conundrum.
