Well, if you look at their discussion recently, it's all about PMS. Give me a f*cking break. They are using PMS as an excuse to act like children. And then Josh! In all his wisdom, says "that's why women can't be president" and then Dani (YES! "together" Dani says "I'd nuke someone every month"). They have all, effectively, stepped into every stereotype with women and their periods. Let me tell you, I was the only girl in a housefull of brother and they would never have let me get away with that kind of behavior and blame it on my period. And neither would my Mom. She would be the first one to say "deal with it and quit being a b*tch"

Marcellasfan - I was just mentally cateloguing Josh's "PMS Prevents Presidential Chances for Women" remark under "My Favorite Neanderthal Moments" when Danielle chimed in and agreed. This caused me to rock back and forth in my chair and swat at imaginary flies for a few minutes. Since then, I've calmed myself by climbing under the desk and chanting "do it go on? do it get worse?" I take back every psueudo-nice comment I've proffered on behalf of Danielle.

Well I know personally I'm getting pretty darn fed up with the latest portraly of women on reality shows (or tv show period but that's another topic). There was the women on The Bachelor then it's sad gender switch Bacheloretts in Alaska, include any dating show and the picture I get of women who are 25 - 30 is that everyone is shallow vapid wastes of space who's main goals are to get men and do whatever men want regardless of their own needs and wants.

From these views women are basically accessories for men and simply have no life beyond primping and gossiping.

What's sad is that it's getting worse all the time. Thank goodness I know that in real life it's not like this with girls/women. But that's one crappy a$$ picture these shows are painting of women.

Granted on BB the men are any better but it seems as if ASP really worked hard on getting this egotisitcal, 15 seconds of fame hungry, man crazy, body obsessed, insecure women.

I watch this thing and while I may enjoy the drama of it all I DO NOT enjoy these women one bit. As a 31 year old, I'm sorry I wasn't this way when I was 25. I had a brain and my life wasn't wrapped around being catty and getting a man.

*Sigh* I think I'll end my rant now. Before I start rocking like Goddess and swatting flies :)

If it is any consolence to you Mssilhouette, as a guy, I'd like to let you know that I know that these young women are not Representative of all women.

I do however think that they represent the stereotype of girls who do things like go clubbing in trendy bars and tend to know the DJ's, and like to name drop and all that nonsense that I have in my mind.

At 34, I've left all that stuff in my past a long time ago and find it to be very shallow.

I think the PMS thing sort of depends upon how your mother (or the rest of your family) reacted when she had PMS... my mom never used the excuse "Oh, I'm being a b*tch because I've got PMS" and my father was never like "Watch out for mom, she's got PMS" or whatever.

As far as I'm concerned, for me PMS doesn't exist! I'm not any more b*tchy at that time of the month than any other time... it's like people use PMS as an excuse to be a b*tch and demand stuff! It's called a PERSONALITY, people... if you have a shitty one, don't try to pass it off as PMS. ;)

(and I'm not pretending like some people don't have really uncomfortable periods... if you have bad cramps or something, which I have had a couple of times, I can understand not feeling well. But that's not PMS... that's dealing with physical pain, not the supposed "hormone rush" that these people are saying is making them b*tchy)

Hey! Check out feed 3! The women are all talking (except Amy) about the men being out for themselves.

Heehee Gerry just came in and asked if he could join them- they said "Girl Talk!!"

Can you believe them. Then put it in perspective of Dani and Lisa on the sofa today talking about what trash Tonya was and how Chia cant be trusted.

They're talking about that too- sharing all the conversations.

Maris

Monday, July 22, 2002 - 08:49 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
they are distorting it. Dani and Lisa aren't telling Tonya that they think she is a lousy mother or that they dont believe one word of her divorce story (that was what they said this afternoon)

Dani and Lisa are not telling anyone that they talked to Josh and Eric today about how Chia cannot be trusted and they were talking about how chia has to go.

Lisa totally misrepresented the conversation she had with Eric and Josh about women against men in the game.

Hmmm..I must admit..these women minus Amy seem closer as a group..than the group of women last year..I dont think we ever really saw Nicole,Shannon,Autumn,Sheryl,Monica,and Krista ever have girl talk.

Im actually glad these ladies get along for at least now....and are realising that the guys are out to get them..and they are gonna drop like flies unless they stick up for each-other

But I also agree it doesn't help that they are trashing poor Amy..and trashing each-other behind their backs..but hey nobody is perfect lol

And don't forget how Dani mentioned that she would not want to be left with the girls at the end because it would be ugly (ie. catty)

In the conversation early today, Lisa was asked why she thought Chiara would vote to keep Tonya over Josh and Lisa remarked something like "Chiara is all about Girl Power". This set the guys off!! That is when the guys asked Dani about how she felt about a guys vs. girl thing.

Now with the women, Lisa claims that it is funny that the GUYS would bring up a Girls vs. Guys thing. When in actuality it was Lisa who brought the whole thing up.

In the words of Hardy " Makes you go hmmmmmmmmm"

although I am glad the girls are finally getting a clue!!

I do not trust Lisa and Dani in this girl alliance at all. They *are* gunning for Chiara.

Zeyna

Monday, July 22, 2002 - 09:28 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yep, both of them are very sly. Lisa is also good at subtle suggestions.

Ya know, they might have a chance of keeping it together .... if they could GET it together in the first place ...

What is really said is at the very beginning of this game, Gerry said to Roddy you dont have to worry about the women. Women are not team players and will turn on each other.
Ticks me off that jaba the hut is right.

I think Chiara needs to go to the HOH room and yell "Sanctuary!" until Marc lets her in the door. I bet he's a softie and would take her side. He's my favorite person in the game.

Maris--I weigh more than Gerry. Jaba the Hut was a pretty big creature. That makes me bigger than Jaba! Wow!

I thought that Marcellas called him Jaba because of the bald head.

i don't think i have pms....all i know is that every time my husband gets bitchy, i start my period a few days later! lol
and, the kids will also notice/mention that dad is being mean a few days every month or so, so it's not just me putting it onto him!!
