1) ...I have several issues to raise with this post:<br />1) The offending material is from a site called 'Wall Street Insanity'. Wall Street is not a place known for its ethics, and now it seems to have the online equivalent of a "lad's mag". One of its sections is simply entitled "GIRLS". It probably pays not to take it too seriously.<br />2) Have you ever heard of the 'Wall Street Insanity' site before? No, I didn't think so. So how come it epitomises all that's wrong with the world now? People write this sort of crap because they know it will get the site hits and increase advertising revenue, on top of the fact that it's really easy to dig out some old stereotypes and make a list out of them.<br />3) Look at the hundreds of comments and the reach of that post. Compare it to some of the other posts on their site - even some of the ones on the front page boast a whole zero comments. Therefore, most of the people reading this shit are doing so to disagree with it, not because they believe it. It's not representative of society.<br />4) This raises another question - how did all these people find it? Either a) because someone was out there looking to be offended, found something highly offensive, and shared it, or b) because it was monetised and (s)he read the shock headline and clicked on it.<br />5) The writer is faceless and probably using a pseudonym. That probably means the author doesn't even believe what he's writing, just like many tabloid writers.<br />6) Last one for your amusement: Chuck "No Face" Henderson has written another list (comments = 11). Point 19 reads: "Don’t be an asshole. Seriously. Just don’t." He might want to take some of his own advice. http://wallstreetinsanity.com/50-things-every-man-should-realize/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298527986167960792.post-82153244687004356062014-03-31T11:22:44.412-07:002014-03-31T11:22:44.412-07:00I cannot believe someone would write something lik...I cannot believe someone would write something like that.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360500780599193135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298527986167960792.post-62087890633646086292014-03-29T15:27:06.722-07:002014-03-29T15:27:06.722-07:00This is why i FREAKING LOVE your blog!

Ones ab...Eurgh I hate hate HATE these stupid lists. Ones about first dates, ones about relationships, ones about sex, ones about men, ones about women... And they're fricking everywhere in magazines and on the internet.<br /><br />These lists should consist of two points:<br /><br />1. TALK TO THE OTHER PERSON OPENLY AND HONESTLY ABOUT THE WAY YOU FEEL/THINK AND THE THINGS YOU WANT IN LIFE. Don't assume that someone who's never met you or your partner will have any insight into you or your relationship.<br /><br />2. STOP READING THESE LISTS and go and talk to the person who want to understand.<br /><br />These lists just draw on and reinforce socially defined therefore arbitrary and NOT innate, immutable differences that exist between men and women (and when we say men and women, what do we even mean!?). When I look at that list, I do not see my boyfriend, or in fact any man I've ever been friends with let alone gone out with. It's utter bollocks and it shouldn't exist.sljpaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086403612808547817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298527986167960792.post-58212655530778876512014-03-27T16:52:02.188-07:002014-03-27T16:52:02.188-07:00Shake my fucking headddddd.

What happened to girl power and feminism like seriously are these girls cray for thinking stuff like this is normal!!! 47 17 and 3 are making my blood boil, I think I need a lie down.
