Hey, everyone-
Why is it that so many people think stuff like this is funny? It's the most sexist crap I've laid eyes on in quite some time. It perpetuates every bad stereotype of southern women as twinkling little debutante belles who only *really* want rich hunky men to take care of them. Notice that southern women can't think of anything but getting a man, looking good, and being as subtly catty as possible. Favorite sport --what else, shopping! *giggle* Anybody else notice that a college education and a spine didn't make the list of natural assets? Oh hell nooooooo, something is only valuable if it helps you get a man! After all that's all that southern women really need right? did anybody else snicker at the breakfast section? All I could think of was a dirty pun on "sweet tea and sweet melons" - do southern women eat breakfast in bed? If their men want them to. What really surprised me though was the line about the joys of hot summers, e.g. "strapless sun-dresses". Given the tone
of this whole thing I would have thought it would be something more along the lines of glitter pasties and daisy dukes. And the most teeth-gnashing assertion is that southern women know that men come and go but friends are forever: unless you're both competing for the same guy or you've already got a boyfriend and then you know, you just don't have time for "the girls" anymore. Hey, southern women know how to keep a man, shugah. People, don't send me anything else like this.
