In some ways I am. There's usually a woman-bashing thread (or three) here, and it's always filled with men complaining that women are nothing but stupid, lying sluts who expect everything while earning nothing. Those posts make me sad, because I'm sure there are good men out there who want a real woman, and get frustrated when all they can find are glittery guttersluts. But for them to paint all women in this light simply isn't fair.

Actually, I wonder where exactly these slutty women are, because I certainly don't know any. Bars? Clubs? Craigslist? If so many women are truly this shallow, slutty, and downright stupid -- well, yes, it embarrasses me, because they're dragging the rest of us down with them (in the minds of others). But I don't necessarily feel sorry for the men who take them home, though, because it should be fairly obvious to these guys what type of women they are. They should be pickier, have higher standards. Don't lower yourself by dating trash.

But for the most part, no, I'm not embarrassed by these women. Because, as another poster said, I am nothing like them. I'm educated, I'm employed, I have a spiritual life, and I'm celibate. I have no tattoos, the only piercings are in my ears, and I dress modestly. Most weekends, I'm home with a book or spending time with my friends (watching movies or gaming -- not partying) or with my family. I don't expect anything from anyone -- male or female.

I wish I could slap these girls and tell them to get some self-respect. But I fear that it's too late.
