What's a Modern Girl to Do?

(too long to repost; use www.bugmenot.com)

I wouldn't trade my independence, my power, my money, and/or my autonomy for all the push-up bras in Towson Town Center. I'm the luckiest girl I know.

I don't reject men just because they don't do those things; I don't necessarily accept men just because they do those things either.

unfortunately, there's the ilk who do those things solely because they think it will get them in the panties quicker. traditional etiquette or no, i just want to be treated with respect. opening doors is a nice gesture. it's the guy who will buy tampons for you without protest who makes the final cut.

oh, you of the voluminous curls and the boundless sarcasm. (do they cancel each other out, i wonder?)

"Sarcasm is dangerous. Avoid it altogether."
