Been busy lately, but I’ve always got time to link to my internet crush: Ms. Tracy Clark-Flory. She’s got some new sex studies she’d like to comment on. Take it away, Tracy:
“In a press release, study author Heidi E. Hutton summarized the findings: “Across genders, women binge drinkers are more likely to have anal sex than men binge drinkers. Within gender, women binge drinkers are three times as likely to have anal sex, and twice as likely to have multiple sex partners compared to women who do not drink alcohol. Compared to non-drinking women, women binge drinkers are also five times as likely to have gonorrhea.”"
I wish Sarah Palin would stop playing up this whole “I’m just a hockey mom” thing and play up the fact that she is a motherfucking bad ass bitch who hunts her food, and drips amniotic fluid while running the state of Alaska. Nice, meek women don’t end up being plucked out of the check out line at Wal-Mart and then get the opportunity to have the most powerful job in the world. You have to be a bit of a bad girl, a bit of an ambitious lunatic willing to claw your way to the top. It’d be amazing if she got pregnant again and did insane shit like create a Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chip Craving Day and dripped amniotic fluid all over white house? (Note — if this bitch were to become president, I would create Dance Party Zones all over the country)
Not only can I negotiate this treaty, I can catch you a motherfucking fish.
The “bad girl” is a pretty central figure in pop culture. In pop songs, we are usually warned against being with her, as her very presence is threatening. In videos, she can usually be found walking in slow motion, in slinky dresses, tempting men with her curves and evil sexual desire. This is exhibited perfectly in the videos for Akon’ & Kardinal Offissial’s addictive pop hit “Dangerous”.
The classic of course, is Hall & Oate’s “Maneater”, where we are warned that she is on her way here to well, eat all that poor little masculinity you have tucked away in your pants. The bad girl is hungry, and she lives off erections, bourbon and expensive dinners at 5 stars restaurants.
Also worth noting is Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater“, which for some reason has this strange post apocalyptic video in which no one is left on earth but professional dancers.
But, whatever, fuck the male gaze for a second. When do we get to hear from this dangerous girl, this woman so utterly feared? Well, here’s the problem, when she talks, she’s just so sad! Poor bad girl, drunk by six, says the Madonna song from her sorely underappreciated “Erotica”, and who’s video is inspired by yet another sad, slutty girl, Diane Keaton’s Theresa in Looking for Mr. Goodbar.Liz Phair’s “Fuck and Run” is yet another song in where underneath all that casual sex, all she wants is love, you guys. A guy who makes love cuz he’s in it. Fiona Apple’s “Criminal” is the anthem of every girl who’s done a man wrong and feels bad about it, but knows, she’s probably going to do it again.
But whatever. Fuck all that. We like talking about the bad girl because we know she is having more fun, just why we like to watch criminals. n, whether she’s zinging her opponent in a speech or Lil Kim asking us “What bitch you know could thug it like this?” or giving the nice girl some real talk about why she is not respected in the office.
