Unspoken Rules For Women In The United States

Today, after reading the news that the House passed a bill that would allow hospitals to let women to die rather than perform a life-saving abortion, commenter mcstabbypants came up with an idea, "Rules For Women In The United States." Here they are. Pass 'em on.

"Welcome to the USA, little girl! We are so glad you have arrived. Here is a list of rules to live by, just to get you started:

1. Technically, you may wear whatever you choose, but we strongly suggest (mostly through market saturation) that you wear clothes that are: pink, ruffled, cheaply made, and promote messages such as "Princess Diva," "Math is Hard!" or "I'm Too Pretty to Work." Once you reach the age of 8, you will be expected to sex it up, with the peek-a-boo clothing, heels, and miniskirts that are widely available in your demographic. Make-up by the age of 13 is a requirement. Remember this at Halloween: sexy nurse, sexy kitten, sexy taxidermist. If it has ‘sexy' in the title, it's the right kind of costume.

2. Your weight is not your own business – it is everyone's business. You will be expected to conform to whatever standards society sets for you to look presentable and datable at any age. Deviations from this range, whether too skinny or too fat, will be subject to societal repercussions and punishments. Remember, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels! And also, just eat a sandwich already if we can't see any boobs or hips. You need to look GOOD.

1. And remember, girls

There is absolutely no such thing as too much purple eye shadow.

2. While I more than appreciate the sentiments

This issue needs much more powerful words than a lighthearted, semi-sarcastic play on words.

This is serious business; I can't believe that a so-called civilized country has allowed religious morality (?) to endanger women's lives in this way.

3. I was just out shopping today ruminating on these very things

While passing through the little girls clothing section. It's like the clothes are being designed by pimps or pederasts.

4. Every time these abortion issues are in the news, women show up

outside the abortion clinic to protest... Its not a Planned Parenthood.. more like a private place.. Anyway, its normally older looking church ladies.. Today I saw 2 younger women in their teens. WTF!!! They would think in todays age that is ok to judge and decide what's best for other girls their own age? I'm thinking I'm going out there tomorrow to give an alt sign or two a welcome need.
