That's A DealBreaker Ladies

Love this blog called Dealbreaker by funnies Marisa and Dave.  They have long list of reasons why they won't date you, including:

- You're Lady GaGa

- You have swine flu
- You're an American Apparel Model
- You're Jeff Goldblum (“God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates Man. Man destroys God. Man creates Dinosaurs”)
- You have the same name as my dad
- You hate unicorns
- You won't kiss me after oral
- You don't "get" Radiohead
- You're not Mark Ruffalo

and many, many more (You're too hot, You say "vagine")

Some of my dealbreakers:
- you are homeless
- you are grossed out by body hair on women
- you are a republican
- you hit on me using Myspace
- you don't like to swim
- you are Mormon
- you lied about graduating from high school
- you constantly talk about how awesome California is
- you are Glen Beck/Bill O'Reily/Fox News/Ann Coulter/Newt Gingrich/an asshole

what are some of your dealbreakers?

Could you date a dude who didn't call himself feminist?

Linked by feministing, there's an article on the frisky that discusses the question, could you date a man who didn't call himself a feminist?

Personally, it's one thing to be against the term because of the popular branding of feminists as bra burning, hairy legged, man haters, but it's another to not identify with the core meaning, which to me is equality and the end of objectification and oppression. I've had the "do you consider yourself a feminist?" discussion with a couple dudes. If they are willing to talk about it that's a plus. None of them have ever said they don't believe in feminism, but a few have said they aren't into labels or think there should be a different term so they don't think of angry lesbians or whatever negative stereotypes come to mind when guys hear "feminism." I think the whole needing a new word argument is a bunch of crap. Why should we change a word because the anti-feminists have done their best to scare everyone away? If people are open minded they will see that the basis of feminism, aside from all anti-porn/pro-porn etc. arguments, is equality and that is hard to argue against. If a dude I am banging or want to bang does have a problem with that then that's a red flag that's too big for me to overcome. It's doesn't mean I won't hate fuck the dude necessarily, but I certainly won't be calling him back the next day. Hey, sometimes a girl gets horny and ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

That said, feminist boys are the best in bed, I think we can all agree on that.

I went out on a date with a guy that voted for McCain!!!!!!

MCCAIN.

MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's so cute though (the date, not McCain).....

I am at a crossroads. Can i convert him from the dark side?
I want to make out with him and check out his republican caucus.

I texted him this morning:"I had fun last night and, even though you voted for McCain, I would like to go out again sometime"

He texted back:"I had a good time last night too! We should definitely go out again and try not to hold that McCain thing against me "

I was going to text back:"Maybe you can hold something against me? "

but it's too early in the game for such talk.... so instead i texted:"Well since good triumphed over evil, I won't hold it against you. But FYI McCain has a horrible voting record on funding for veterans"

the date is an ex-military guy - so hot in a uniform.......

Maybe I can:

Check out his stimulus package
G.O.P. all over him
Search for W.M.D.s (and if we’re a code red on the Terrorist Threat Level Index then it will be time to invade and conquer)
Get a feel for his Republican Caucus
I'll give him the ole' reach across the aisle
Check out his pork barrel initiative

or he can:
Dick my Cheney
Vote for my Bush
Watch his economics trickle down my face
Filibuster all over me


HOWEVER, if he gets me preggers - i'm having an abortion!!!!!
