…and I’m not alone! *Quelle surprise!*
I’m also a big fan of incurable hippie who said – actually said – this.
Whatever sinks the patriarchal boat…even if it is women in all their *gasp! horror! and sick-making* natural glory. Want to be subversive? You don’t have to do a damn thing – not even mod your bod. The patriarchy hates women so much that we can’t even have our own hair where they don’t want it!
We all have to strive to meet their idea of somehow fuckable.
Poo to the patriarchy, I say.
And, if I ever get my head round this audible blogging malarkey, they’ll hear about it too – believe you me.

Well said Witchy!
Repeating what I said over at Hippie’s:
Like you, my ‘political statement’ part of my reasoning is often hidden by trousers 99% of the time. In summer, I do wear skirts/dresses, but they are also to the ankle!
As well as being ‘less to do’ for all these stupid high-maintenance ‘feminine’ rituals (saving both time and money), it also saves a lot of energy – by never worrying about it, or even thinking about it.

“Indignant at what the world is doing to women” she said…
Oh yes!

Patriarchy, Titanic? Am taking my hairy legs and exposing them – when the weather warms up a bit….. Can we drill some more holes in the hull of the (ahem) *good* ship patriarchy?

Let’s not mention the huge iceberg…

What iceberg? I see no iceberg?
Hold your course captain?

Leonardo Di Embryo?
My neices used to get so upset when I said that!!
[Although I have not been subjected to the full length horror that is that film, the trailers were quite enough thank you very much, I believe Di Embryo 'bought it' in the end. Fitting.]
“Full steam ahead!”
“Aye-aye Captain!”
[oops!]

Never seen it either but I was working in a media shop (Our Price – now part of Virgin group) at the time and we took great delight in telling people “It sinks at the end you know!” as they paid for the video.

“It sinks at the end you know!”
Genius. Pure evil genius!

Brilliant. I think I’ll just use that phrase here and there. Think of all the many useful applications. Nudge nudge wink wink.
“It sinks at the end you know.”

i think it’s a variant on the hamlet ’spoiler’ : he dies at the end

Witchy – i was wondering if it would be all right with you if I e-mail you?

Thanks Stormy. Totally agree.
And you’d be seriously fabulous at audio blogging – go for it!
witchywoo // April 4, 2007 at 7:46 pm |
Vera – that’d be totally fine with me. Go for it.

Mmmm, the iceberg, or the stoopid feminine rituals?

Just a quick thanks for blogging this — it led me to incurable hippie’s ‘gabcast’ which I found very interesting indeed.
Cheers.
