Miss Manners on the war between the sexes
Cross-posting this from ArchieArchive, where he’s posted the entire “women are meat” speech from everybody’s favorite bastion of multiculti sensitivity and carnivorous reptile-baiting, Australia.
If you’re looking for sensible takes on the subject, you can’t do better than the US’s Miss Manners, who was written to by a concerned reader claiming that he didn’t have a question of etiquette, exactly…
See, he just felt that these “girls” who wear revealing clothing, go out on dates without chaperones, drive their own cars, live in apartments alone, etc, were making it really easy for some man to rape them. He wanted Miss Manners to lay out the exact restrictions that would properly prevent such an occurrance.
I don’t think he was expecting her to say “it makes more sense to lock up the men than to lock up the women” but she did. She’s pretty good at making a sharp point when she feels like it.
I’ll post the exact quote when/if I find it, but don’t hold your breath, cuz I’m lazy and it means combing through the books for it, they all being over 500 pages. But ya gotta luv Miss Manners. When Americans are both intelligent and down-to-Earth, they are the most sensible people on the planet.
When they’re not, they’re…
Ia! Ia! Toyota fhtagn!

oh! the huge manatee!
Sorry, had to.
More sea-critter news today; it must be some wetlands Walpurgis excitement causing them to bust out all over the raincoaster blog. Nonetheless, weird, eh?
“I was just sitting on the barge and this half a
mountain, half a car just floated right by,” Jackson says.
It is no mountain, or car. “Long head, knots all over. Thought it was an alligator or crocodile,” Peeples says. It’s the kind of thing you just have to see to believe… A manatee swimming in the fresh waters of the Wolf River Harbor on Mud Island. “I couldn’t do anything for about 15 minutes. (Reporter) Scary? (Jackson) Scary,” Jackson says.
The aberrant Mississippi Manatee could be nothing more than a slightly confused Global Warming victim in search of new sea grasses to munch and some soothing steel GIT-tar. On the other hand, it could be just the outrider for an invasion from Y’ha-nthlei.

god. hates. shrimp.
No, seriously. You can look it up: god hates shrimp.
In yet another aberrational moment, I am using a link someone posted in the comments section here, instead of something I stole mine own self off Gawker or Fark, as is the usual procedure ’round these parts.
It’s because I’m out of coffee; that would account for almost any aberrational behaviour on my part. I haven’t gone coffeeless in a number of decades, ever since the disastrous Inka experiment of ’86.
I’m assuming the link-dropper is also out of coffee, or perhaps in that blogger’s case herbal tea, as they requested specifically that I delete the comment they had just made.
And here I thought I was self-sabotaging!
Perhaps they fear the wrath of Cthulhu! In any case, here is the go-to site for all you shrimp-hating gods. I am interested to note that it informs me of a recently-overturned ban on shrimp-eating in Massachusetts and San Francisco. It appears that Christian fundamentalists there are now going to have to brave the risks of accidental apostology when consuming the jambalaya.
Play it safe, people: order the calamari!
We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver’s and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye’s shall be cleansed. The name of Bubba shall be anathema. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants.
