February 24, 2009 Is smart the new sexy and other FASCINATING questions! Fuck the Sams, and why I’m gonna be light-on with the posting
So I won’t be posting much in the next little while. My laptop just died. Just like that! It won’t be back til around Monday I think.
Also am enjoying of the exercise and study, and hanging out with mini FP and attempting to persuade him that homework is both delicious and nutritious.
So check *THIS* out: Sam in the City dissecting the allegedly “very real” debate of smart v sexy.
For my money, stupid is the biggest turn off so whatevs Sam and most of us have our heads around the fact that it’s entirely possible to be both smart AND sexy.
Sam uses the word lecherous in a way that brings to mind the quote from Inigo Montoya. No, not “You killed my father, prepare to die” though I’d happily swordfight with her, but rather “You keep using that word! I do not think it means what you think it means”
And then of course there is Sam-I am SO a Feminist You Whinging Humourless Feminist FatArsed Dyke-deBrito expounding on the inequality of the sexes, and how COME chicks can watch SatC and he can’t say he’d never date a fat arsed biatch??
This is a spectacular return to form for deBrito, it’s the barely concealed anger and *OMG me TOO is a victim* that make this in my mind the Nessun Dorma of whitebread shithead oped vomit.
Women, however, are ones who buy the magazines, clothes and potions that drive this ‘ideal’; men like me, who are attracted to it, are merely the by-product.
Ahhh…I see…the mags MEN buy have NO INFLUENCE. Posts like this don’t contribute to it. That women are fully REQUIRED day after day to regulate their food, their exercise, to buy lotions and potions in order NOT to attract the derogatory comments of you and your wanking mates has NOTHING to do with it. Women are the ones who set up this system and poor men would LOVE to be able to get off with our horrible womanly bodies, but they’re broken victims and they JUST CAINT!!! Ah fuck off with your idiot self.
What happened deBrito? Finally figure out that all your smoke-and-mirrors, Yes Officer, I’m a Feminist wasn’t gonna get you into Emily Maguire’s pants?

So, the people, like me who have a thing for bigger women, are influenced by who exactly, it couldn’t possibly be that people just have different tastes? That Sam happens to sigh contentedly when he undresses a hard bodied girl, and I do when I get to see the wonderful curves of soft bodied girl. Nah. I shocked at his option that I have been pretending to fancy my partners all my life, yeah, no.
Next week, Sam prefers milder curry and it is *ALL WOMAN’S FAULT*

It DID have that flavour to it didn’t it. I mean seriously, we’ve all got some kind of issue around bodies. I am a very tall woman, I would find it odd I think to date a shorter guy. Doesn’t mean I *wouldn’t*, since, unlike Sam I matured past adolescence, and I am NOT prepared to take up with someone lacking intelligence/personality etc etc so long as their body meets my exacting standards.
I didn’t know where to start first, there were so many irritating factors to it, but it was EXACTLY like him writing a post on his favourite type of curry – who the fuck CARES deBrito – and by putting it into writing you just take an opportunity to reify attitudes that persecute women who don’t have ‘hard bodies’.
It’s just so: I’d like your body hard, but your skin soft, I’d like you to be like a man, but then particularly womanly and ‘ladylike’ in the areas I specify, you should like to booze on, but you’ll have to manage not to show that in any way. You should be tiny with rock hard abs and impeccably groomed but never show that that takes time/effort/money. Do you want a woman or a fucking blow up doll Sam? Sheesh. Then he has the nerve to throw down the gauntlet on what women should be, but act as though women are the silly ninnies who run around apropos of nothing dieting/exercising as if all that’s important. CAKE: have it or eat it toolbag

This sounds like a conversation I had with Nigel’s sister once. She absolutely refuses to walk out the door of her house without make up on, but insists there’s no societal pressure to do so, it’s just her choice. And that people like me who never wear make up are proof that there is no pressure for anyone else to do it.
And thanks for the post, now I know why I’ve never read anything by either of the Sam’s despite sharing a name with them!

Oh you’re welcome for the post. I think I’ve kind of designated myself a kind of unofficial Media Watch position on these two. My ‘favourite’ was the post where I ripped into deBrito for his irresponsible take on drink spiking. Only to have some concern troll come on and attempt to spank me for my misguided ways. I was having a bad day, and MAN I enjoyed putting that little turdburger back in his box.

Oh god. de Brito may just be pipping Brett as the more painful Sam.
Does it help to remember that he’s probably only writing this to drive traffic and comments?
I’m going to go with “no”.

“Didn’t you hear about that study that came out of England? The smarter you are, the less likely you are of getting married. The dumb girls are getting the guys. ”
Nah, me thinks it’s just the smarter teh womenz, the less likely they are to be stupidz enough to get married. 🙂
Yeah, I read that de Brito one in the Herald (yes, a newspaper (although I use that term ver very loosely…)). Look, I have no problem with someone finding svelte women more attractive than fuller figured women, or vice-a-versa. What I hate is the way he thinks that because men are conditioned to crave hard bodied women(silicon-sold-seperately) through socialisation and media fluff, this somehow makes him completely bereft of all personal choice and responsibilty of his attitudes towards women.
You got it spot on, as always( 😀 ) about the ‘Don’t blame me, I’m a victim’ crap. Oh and the Inigo Montoya reference was the highlight of my day.

I had a conversation a couple of weeks back with a woman at a Labor Party meeting who insists that there are NO BARRIERS to women getting involved in the political process. They’re all just NOT COMMITTED ENOUGH. Grrr.”
“Didn’t you hear about that study that came out of England? The smarter you are, the less likely you are of getting married. The dumb girls are getting the guys. ”

HERE HERE! We’re too smart to fall for the bullshit and for spending tens of thousands of dollars on rubbushy crap like bonbonieres and things with our initials on. When we could spend equivalent amounts, if we have them, on, for example, houses, overseas holidays, or many seasons of Buffy on dvd.
