Saudi Ladies Want to Undress in Peace!
The Washington Post has something about Saudi women who have their panties in a bunch because of the strict laws of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. You see, the same people who thought it would be awesome to dress the women in clothing from head to toe also say it’s bad for women and men to interact, unless they are related or married.
So that means women cannot be sales people, because they might interact with men! But it’s okay for them to buy lingerie from men, which I don’t quite get, because they’re interacting with men.
Well, semantics aside, there’s a movement in Saudi Arabia to allow women to work as sales people in stores that sell women’s unmentionables. It’s legit; they even have a petition on Facebook (which I still cannot find). Among the actions they are taking, boycotting stores that employ men to sell them underwear. Basically, reverse sexism, which as we know is still sexism.
How do you feel about this? I feel bad for the women, who have to interact with the males of the species who are not related to them. And for the men, who have to actually size them up, estimate what they need, and sell it. Oh, and there are no changing rooms. Why? Because the thought of women undressing in public? SCANDALOUS!!!
Mostly, though, I feel sad for the end user. The husband who would get to see revealing clothing on his wife, if not for the women going home and feeling too icky from the experience to actually wear them again.
I don’t know if this would actually happen, but the people interviewed make it sound like, in extreme cases, it could.
So men have to suffer because Saudi ladies want to undress in piece. Can you think of a more twisted conclusion to this story?
Prop 8
Marriage. Say what you want about the definition of marriage; it did not begin as a way for men and women to increase the population of the world. It began as an institution to basically enslave women. (Visit the Emlen Physic Estate in Cape May for further details). What can I say; I’m a romantic. While remnants of the forced marriage era still linger (think: name changes), fortunately the institution of marriage evolved, in most countries, into a public display of love and dedication of one man and one woman from now to eternity or until the legal system deems them apart.
Some say this eternity is meant to be spent with children. There are many men and women who get married without the intention having children. Some don’t want them. Some can’t have them. Some have no desire to adopt them. And some simply can’t afford them. Fortunately for them, according to my Bible of Dictionaries, Merriam Webster does not mention children in its definition of marriage. In fact (and I believe this is recent because I look up this word often), m-w.com added same-sex marriages in its definition. This is not surprising because, if you can add bootylicious to a dictionary, is it really hard to add a little number (2) to an existing definition?

Religious Experiment
I saw a television advertisement for the financial Bible of God. It was basically a book on how to make a profit through the power of Jesus. Of course, people were encouraged to ORDER NOW because there were only 2,000 copies left of the $100 book. Naturally, God moves in mysterious ways. If you write a book about how you can get rich off of the higher power, then you WILL get rich by the higher power. I assume that $200,000 bucks for a book is not bad, even after you factor in the costs of promotion and production.
Which brings me to ME. I’d like to create my own religion so that I could get rich as well.
So like Hubbard, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and all great writers before me, I’m going to write and start my own religion.
