Angry Formerly Dude SPEAKS
And y’all better listen up, because he’s PISSED! I posted his comment in its entirety here, but I couldn’t resist giving BB a bit more prominent a spot. One or two of you must have gone on a date with him back in the early ’90s and totally broken his heart, because he’s still smarting. He reserves special vitriol for Oprah–perhaps she’s the one who didn’t call him back or suggested they “just be friends.”
Seriously, though, I think it’s not a bad idea to listen to people like BB, if only to affirm your own truth. I’d refrain from calling him a “sexist pig,” (I have a feeling having women scream that at him is his Viagra) but I’d love to hear what YOU have to say about women and power and beauty. Here’s BB:
“Ladies, listen up because I’m about to drop some truth on your Oprah-obsessed minds. Please pay attention because you will rarely hear anyone tell you something so real and honest. Ahem.”
Totally listening, BB. Lay it on us. Oprah? You paying attention? Stop helping people and being a role model and making millions of dollars, because BB is speaking. (more…)
n any major social movement that shines a white-hot spotlight on the issues facing women or minorities, sooner or later you’ll hear cries of injustice from over near the boys’ bathroom, to the effect of, “Hey, what about us? We’re oppressed too!” So I’m not shocked that the Formerly Movement has sparked a wave of Formerly dudes wondering why their challenges upon realizing that they’re OMG NOT YOUNG ANYMORE are not being met with the same outcry of sympathy and international aide.
