What's Next? Burkahs?

A middle school in Petaluma California decided that girls could only wear leggings if they wore shorts or skirts or dresses over them.   They said it was because it was too distracting for the boys.  Next thing you'll see people stoning girls in the playground because their ankles are showing.  WTF?  Why don't they just make the boys wear leggings over their eyes and then there won't be a problem.   Girls should be allowed to wearing anything they want to school including nothing, and be perfectly safe from other people.    If you get too excited looking at some stupid leggings, then fuck yourself! literally!

Of course I would totally support the no leggings/tights policy if it had been done for the right reason, which is YOU'RE NOT WEARING ANY PANTS!!!!!  It looks like you didn't finished getting dressed.  tights are NOT PANTS!!!    Even if they're solid and you didn't buy the see-thru kind for $100 from lulu lemon and then "surprise - i can see everything!!"  it's still not a good look.  i can either see your underwear or your camel toe, or both.   And I'm not discriminating against girls.  Boys should not be allowed to wear bike shorts or wrestling outfits or speedos, EVER.

Hmm. Voting day is curiously close to Halloween.

Who's Afraid of Ethel?

Apparently a lot of people. Idiots. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, there was some talk about me getting my own TV show. I even had some meetings, with bottled water. But apparently I am way too threatening to the establishment. Here's what a big agent said:

Most of the ‘edgier’ channels/buyers skew male, and won’t program a youthful female protagonist. And you're way too edgy for the female skewing buyers.

And this was an agent who LIKES me. Okay, so there can't be an Ethel show on channels that have shows like South Park or Family Guy or Simpsons because if there's a GIRL who's not just a side character then it's not "universal" and boys and men can't relate cause it must be just for girls. And the channels who make shows that are especially for girls don't want me because they're trying to sell thong underpants and makeup and easy bake ovens and they think that I would be encouraging girls NOT to buy those things -- which they're right about, even though I can think of some alternate uses for some of those things, like thong slingshots and easy bake chemistry experiments (product placement, right?). Anyway, what's a girl supposed to do? It's 2010 We're just gonna have to start our own networks - yeah right. It's hard not to be hating, but we must continue to battle on toward justice no matter how stupid and assholish the people in charge are. Plus if we weren't trying to change things we'd already be on the air.

FIght on my sisters (and good brothers).

AMERICAN GIRL DOLL ACTION

My troop came across a cache of "American Girl" Molly dolls. I can't tell you the details, but suffice it to say, we have a few hundred of these pricey dolls that just came our way. To earn our charity badge, we have set up a program to donate the dolls to our unfortunate sisters whose parents have been having a boycott of all "American Girl" dolls for the last two years, because the company made a donation to Girls Inc., which does a lot of good things for girls, including helping with self esteem and education, and because it believes in girls' rights, it also supports our rights to our bodies, and the (supposedly) Christian wrong thinks they should not have that control.

Mind you I would never buy one of the dolls, because they cost like $90 and I hate dolls anyway, I would always choose a stuffed animal (or better yet, a real one - but I would never buy it, I would always only rescue one), but there are girls who like them, and why should their rights to their dolls be denied or abridged because of their parents idiocy and prejudice, and determination to take away their own daughters rights?

SO, if you are one of these girls, please write to us through the blog, and we will arrange to get you one of these naughty dolls (in a plain brown wrapper - send to a safe location) and you and the other girls in your church can have secret meetings to play with your dolls and whatever else deprived people might do in secret (hint, hint)...
