[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG.  I am 45 and I played competitive soccer.  I beat all the boys in the Presidential Fitness thing---in every event.  I played Division 1 soccer.  Though--I liked make-up and fashion.  I had an older brother and a sister.

[u]AND...I'm the first one to use the 'cry like a girl', etc.  I don't even think about it when I say it...or the irony that I am female.[/u]  I guess growing up it was an insult to be told that but if you were a gifted athlete nobody would ever accuse of doing anything like a girl.  In fact, I was told I don't 'run like a girl' and I took great pride in that growing up.

I have 5 nephews (teens and 20s) and I have two boys myself.  My nephews would tell my boys 'not to be a momma's boy' if they cried over something.

Frankly, I personally HATED that television ad with the 'run like a girl', 'throw like a girl' because I think they should have used top women athletes..not girls that couldn't run:).  My kids and I busted out laughing at one of the girls because she had the worst running form ever.

I like being a woman.  But- I don't go around looking for something to take 'offense' at constantly.

When even Jerry Seinfeld finds college campuses too liberal and politically correct---it is time America lightens the f*ck up!!

It's a shame you were or are a gifted athlete, but not very self aware or bright.[/quote]

Give me a break. I have a PhD in Biochemistry so I guarantee I am brighter than you.

I also have no shame in admitting that the women's World Cup is not as exciting as the Men's. The game is so much slower. The skill and athleticism isn't the same.

I don't think voicing that in any way takes away my enjoyment of playing the sport at a level only 1% of girls in the world ever get a chance to do.

Get over yourselves, Sisters.[/quote]

Ah. Now I get it. You're one of those women who takes pride in only having male friends, not relating to women, thinking like a man, throwing like a man ... while being gorgeous and feminine and cooking well, etc.. In other words, you think women are pretty awful, and you're the exception, because where it counts, you're 1) like a man, and 2) men think you're the shit. That, my friends, is self-loathing and misogyny in a nutshell.

I have a PhD, too, btw.[/quote]

Agree with the above PP. You are a messed-up individual, misogynist PP.[/quote]
