Blatant sexism is what I call it!

“The Not so Average Life of an Average Girl” is the nom de plume of a fellow blogger that isn’t a “fellow” at all. Indeed, it would seem that TNSALOAAG is an outspoken woman. (The worst kind of woman, if you ask me.) I thought it was worthwhile to take a break from advice to explore some ideas of TNSALOAAG. It would seem that the themes of her writing are quite relevant to why I decided to give advice to men.

TNSALOAAG addresses the fact that women are given much instruction on how to behave. This is incredibly unfair to men who must decide how to behave on their own. TNSALOAAG says that “women… were taught that their job WAS to cater to their husband’s every need.” And what of men? How are we to know what to do if no one tells us? Some rules given to women are to “[b]e funny but don’t talk too much… [a]nd smile but don’t seem overly interested or eager.” This advice is useful to both genders, so why was it directed specifically to women? TNSALOAAG also recounts the fact that “[n]obody likes a girl who can actually speak her mind.” Obviously, this advice is intended for women who don’t want to marry, as the type of men that don’t like outspoken women are those, like myself, that would rather have a tart than a life partner. However, TNSALOAAG forgets that men can use this information too. Men need to know that a lady doesn’t like an outspoken man any more than a man likes an outspoken woman, so that men may put off women by being outspoken too.

 TNSALOAAG finally starts talking sense when she points out that “even though there are modern literary works that suggest a change…, gender inequality is still extremely prevalent into today’s society.” The inequality shown to men is egregious indeed, and it’s good of this harpy to acknowledge it. TNSALOAAG further shows the inequality to men by stating that “the percent of women going to college is higher then that of men.” We live in a modern age where men should be treated the same as women. The unfair amount of attention women receive can only be combated by those, like myself, that give guidance to men as it has been given to women for so long.
