Be all that they say your are!

[AlbertCat]

When I was about 14, my mother said for the umpteenth time "You never do anything I ask you to do!"
So I, fed up, replied," You got it! I will from now on NEVER.... that's not ever, every time, without exception... do ANYTHING, and I mean anything at all, you ask me to do.

( I didn't have to.... she got it)

I have decided to apply this to the many conservatives and religionists who keep telling me who I am. You haven't seen my rabid misogynist self yet!

On FaceBook some uppity conservative chicks (see, I've already started) had the NERVE to call Harry Reid an idiot and tiresome. I promptly informed them that they were women and their opinions didn't matter. Ted Cruz will be much better! Maybe he and Inhofe will find some Old Testament laws to pass in the Senate that will get them to shut up and get off the computer that is too complicated for them to understand and back in the kitchen where they belong. I told them to keep their mouths shut unless spoken to and their eyes downcast.

Give those conservative bitches what they want!

1. Oh my!

This is so wrong on so many levels, and I can't stop laughing.

I see your point and can't say that they don't deserve it. But, yikes.

2. May I pour some gasoline on that fire?

A couple of years ago, the BIC pen company started a new line of cheap ball-points. These pens were smaller/slimmer than normal, and came in pastel colors.

And they were called: BIC Cristal FOR HER Ball Pen

Link below to all the Amazon reviews, but here are some I grabbed at random. A few spoil-sports showed up to try and stop the mockery - probably shills paid by BIC. That didn't work out so well:

--I'd really like to buy a pack of these pens; but I probably need my father's or husband's permission first. Like I do with all my financial decisions.

--I can't find a switch to turn it on, and it didn't come with batteries. This is not the "for her" product I was expecting. At all.

--I was never taught to use a pen. Does this come with instructions? Pictures perhaps or a link to a YouTube video.

--Someone has answered my gentle prayers and FINALLY designed a pen that I can use all month long! I use it when I'm swimming, riding a horse, walking on the beach and doing yoga. It's comfortable, leak-proof, non-slip and it makes me feel so feminine and pretty! Since I've begun using these pens, men have found me more attractive and approchable. It has given me soft skin and manageable hair and it has really given me the self-esteem I needed to start a book club and flirt with the bag-boy at my local market. My drawings of kittens and ponies have improved, and now that I'm writing my last name hyphenated with the Robert Pattinson's last name, I really believe he may some day marry me! I'm positively giddy. Those smart men in marketing have come up with a pen that my lady parts can really identify with.

--As a female PhD candidate I'm so relieved these pens are a thing! I've been having a VERY difficult time trying to write my thesis without the appropriate implements. Writing is difficult enough for me (due to my breasts, uterus, emotions, etc...). To have to use man-pens, on top of all that, has made it near impossible. Now, thanks to BIC, I feel like I'm in with a chance. Even though I may not be as rational, intelligent or capable as my male counter-parts, at least I have my pens.

--Thanks for RUINING MY MARRIAGE, BIC !!!! - Why did you have to invent a pen for women? Why, oh, why !!!!
I mean sure, it might have been better to write my grocery lists and recipes with a pen rather than a pencil BUT you have no IDEA how you damaging the fabric of America with these things.

My neighbor, misguided liberal that she is, gifted me a set of these things and while I didn't have much use for them, I graciously accepted. Two weeks later I began to suspect that something was amiss. I would arrange my pastel, lady-pens beautifully in my decorative, porcelain pencil holder upon my lady's writing desk and then...I would notice that they would be in a different order.

Finally, I had to admit the truth - my dear husband was using these pens. And, now...well...Oh, I'm so humiliated...now, my husband is displaying all sorts of "feminine tendencies". It's gotten so bad, I caught him eating my Activia the other day and I've starting keeping my Venus razors hidden. I'm scared to death he's going to leave me for another man.

Oh, BIC ...please take these evil things off the market. We women don't need pens - we need husbands who are manly men.

Keep 'Murica strong.

4. I adore Amazon reviews.

The one you cited is a classic.

I also like these:

I can't find a switch to turn it on, and it didn't come with batteries. This is not the "for her" product I was expecting. At all.

I used one of these pens post-hysterectomy, and my uterus grew back. Thanks a lot, Bic. Thanks a whole hell of a lot.

I swear Heddi writes most of them.
