How does AskMen.com exist? No, seriously. This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen. It's basically the male equivalent of Cosmopolitan.com, except worse.
My fellow werewolf directed my attention to this fantastic little nugget of an article entitled "The Fake Female Trap" by Curt Smith. Basically, Mr. Smith here is explaining to men all over the world how women attempt to "trap" men by - you know what, I can't even finish this. This is nuts. Also, buddy, you have a degree? You just seem so wise. I'm sure, since you know so much about women and their traps (like shaving our legs, and wrapping sweaters around our waists), you must be getting laid all of the fuck over the place right? Nice job, Curt. Also, apparently everything single thing I do is in some way an effort to trap a man into marrying me, after which I will eat my weight in pie on a daily basis, hate his friends, remain unemployed, and not make sandwiches for him or have sex with him. Ever.
Oh, okay. Well, see, now apparently I've just been severely misinformed, because I was under the impression that, ultimately, I lived my life for me, and I made decisions based on my judgment, my morals, and how they would effect those I cared about.
But some things I do, I do for me. I shave my legs because I like my legs soft. Sue me. I go to the gym because I like it. I don't give a fuck what you think about my thighs touching.
But seriously, this is so wrong. As if women don't get screwed over enough by their own magazines (Hey, Cosmo, stop telling women how to please men like Curt), we have to get shit from the men's side too? Goddamn. Can someone write an article about how men can respect women by just being a person?
It just scares me that this article can be written, and read, and enjoyed by so many guys out there. And yeah, yeah, I know, there are a whole bunch of people who disagree with it, and a bunch of guys who aren't like that, but apparently not enough because this garbage is still read, and believed.
Oh wait, nevermind, I retract everything I said. I just saw Curt's disclaimer about how it wasn't meant to offend anyone. You wrote this knowing you were offending people? ...Dude.
