Silly Thoughts (Made sense at the time)

Whoever coined the phrase “take it like a man” needs to rethink this ridiculous concept.  After all, it’s a well-known fact that women have a higher threshold for pain than men.  Think childbirth/labor and our high level of tolerance for all the nonsense men come up with, lame excuses and all.  So maybe we need to rewrite this phrase to say, “take it like a woman.”  Makes sense to me.  Sorry guys, didn’t mean to burst your bubble.  I certainly don’t hate you.  Just think it’s a bit presumptuous to assume that you’re the toughest species on this earth.  *peace*

Try searching that phrase via your favorite search engine and you'll discover this little-known fact: Boy George's autobiography is entitled "Take it Like a Man".  No comment.

I’ve been arguing about this with a good friend of mine.  I really think nuns should be accorded the same rights as priests.  It’s unfair to deny women of the chance to perform our Sunday service, simply because most of our Church’s learned are men.  That’s right, I’m rocking the boat.  Granted, I probably don’t know as much as the learned, but I think He would want everyone to be treated equally.  I’m not even willing to entertain the argument that Eve came from one of Adam’s ribs.  There are a lot of reasons why the New Testament was written.  I’m keen on discovering them cuz I'm pretty sure this will help me find some closure on this argument (which might have been going on since women started thinking for themselves). I'm not setting a time table on this one but I'm hoping the resolution will come soon.  Sorry, but it’s gonna take some vigorous arguments and heavy verbal artillery from the FEMALE section of our clergy to convince me otherwise.  I just hope I haven’t committed some grievous sin in voicing out this opinion. :(

While surfing the net tonight, I discovered something… the question of female vs. male is actually as old (and sometimes as silly) as the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.  Case in point, I found this on Yahoo Answers:

“If Eve came from Adam, why does boy come from girl?

When a fetus is growing the initial gender is female - and it remains a female unless it later transitions into a male.

So does that mean that women are actually the overruling gender, and males transition from females and not the other way around - and so wouldn't this contradict the view of the Bible that males come first and women are formed from males?”

 

That was the question.  And a lot of people really weighed in on the subject.  But this one really cracked me up:  “No. And to your initial question, boys come from their mothers because men can't get pregnant. duh.”  Silly and sarcastic to boot!  Another adjective that starts with an "S" comes to mind.  Great combo, ei?

And finally, this is totally unrelated but equally as alarming... I think my friends and I NEED to stop using the Mimisty moniker.  After all, sty is synonymous with… well, you get my drift.  So saying Mimi-sty is just plain silly (word of the day).  I think I’m just gonna stick with either Mimi or Misty.  I think I’m going to bed now.  My head has officially gone to the toilet.  Buona notte!
