When Women Imitate Men

 Men can be louts.  I should know.  I'm a man, and I've seen more boorish behavior from men than I care to remember.

One of the worst incidents occurred when I was in high school.  The only basketball player from our state to ever make an all-state team -- albeit honorable mention -- was dating this girl and slept with her on her birthday, then promptly broke up with her when they were finished.  To make matters worse, for me anyway, he later started dating the girl I was interested in and they ended up getting married.  If only to prove that God has a sense of humor, they have five daughters, no sons.

In any event, I apologize to women everywhere for the conduct of my brethren who were not taught manners.  The way some men behave is not only shocking, but it's shameful.  It's certainly nothing to imitate.

Well, at least one would think it's not something to imitate.

Recently, three stories came out of famous women who seemed to think that acting like an overserved frat boy was the way to behave.  If what was said in these stories had been said by men, I wouldn't have been surprised.  But that each was said by a woman is not only shocking, it's saddening.

First, Rachel Bilson was being interviewed on some online podcast and was asked what she missed about her former boyfriend, Bill Hader.

His big dick, she answered.

Now, Mr. Hader may find the free advertising advantageous to his future romantic endeavors, but if I were him, I wouldn't like the statement for two reasons:  First, that anything so private was now public knowledge and, second, that of all my qualities that's the only one she found worth mentioning.

Not to be outdone, Christina Aguilera, one of the best singers of our time, lowered the bar for all women with her appearance on some podcast called Call Her Daddy, which can be watched here:

When it comes to oral sex, Christina Aguilera made a revealing confession on the podcast "Call Her Daddy" that could be considered inappropriate, the singer came out in favor of the protein within semen.

"Swallowing is actually a good thing, it's got a lot of protein in it. There's something to be said for it after working hard," Aguilera said on the podcast.

Again, this is similar in baseness to what I've heard guys talking about when they're six sheets to the wind.  I expect better from women.

Finally, a woman I love to hate, Gwenyth Paltrow, couldn't help herself from joining the conversation.  She of the conscious uncoupling declaration regarding her then-impending divorce from Chris Martin, Paltrow also appeared on Call Her Daddy and ended up in a discussion about the sexual talents of former lovers Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt.  

Paltrow said this:

Paltrow was then asked who was better in bed, and praised both men in different ways.

"That is really hard. Because Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind of, at the time," she said. "And then Ben was, like, technically excellent. I can't believe my daughter's listening to this!"

During a game of "Fuck, Marry, Kill," Paltrow said she'd get back in bed with Pitt, saying: "I think Brad. Ben, yeah, bless him."

Mind you, Paltrow is fifty-years-old. She's not some twenty-year-old sorority girl who had one lemoncello too many.

I'm not a prude.  I can discuss subjects like this in private.  But putting these things out there for public consumption is too much.  And when it comes from women, I think it's even sadder.
