Negative Gender Stereotypes?

There are negative stereotypes out there we should want to avoid but a giving and thoughtful partner is not one of them.

In my opinion, pineapple can go on pizza. But the idea of drizzling gooey cheese on a piece of warm pineapple repulses me. I have been working through this complicated realization for a week now and the logic is not any closer to revealing itself.

I Believe… [Gambling Away Your Unemployment Check]

I believe… that if you use your unemployment money for entertainment instead of paying your bills, you’re a human shit nugget.

I Believe… [Channeling Gump]

…that, in the spirit of Forrest Gump, racist is what racist does rather than what racist says.

On Book Covers and Online Summaries: The Bumper Stickers That Define Us

The next time I'm in traffic, I start to notice my micro-complaining at various bad drivers and notice a trend. No labels, no specifics in the pejorative. In plain, if a Prius cuts me off, my mind says "Fucking NPR." Which is only ironic in that I drive a Prius and used to work for... If a car that takes too long to turn left in front of me has a BlackHawks sticker, it's "Goddamn Blackhawk fuckwad!" No label or obvious marker? It's just "Fucking asshole!" and we move on.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a specific phenomenon esoteric to me.

What The Duck!

I mean, I understand a joke. I heard one weeks ago and I legitimately LOLed. But this type of misrepresentation of an entire species of aquatic bird is irresponsible, despicable and immoral. Most ducks I have met are simply trying to get on with it. Just living life. A hard working dad, finding fish to regurgitate into mom’s bill. An ever vigilant mother who leads 12 kids across the street, without government assistance or welfare of any kind.

Discerning the Dominant Chimp

It's all in the attitude. We're all just a huge collection of stereotypes and cliches. Admit it to yourself and you'll feel better. I promise.
