Sexy ____

So, I am online looking at Halloween costumes and I notice that pretty much EVERY girl costume name is predicated by the word "sexy"

Sexy Nurse

Sexy Cop

Sexy Referree

Sexy Ghost

Sexy....

You get the idea. I don't think there was a single teen costume that did not have the word "sexy" in front of it.

Now, you know I don't have any issues with sex. I think it's a wonderful fun thing. But it did make me sad to see that. To see such a blaring in your face example of what girls are hit with all growing up: you MUST be sexy and desirable.

And it's all the same focus: tits and legs and ass.

And then girls wonder why they end up with douche bags that care more about their tits than their heart.

I'm not saying all men are like that, of course. And there is nothing wrong with being sexy or having a fabulous body. It's great. BUT I think I just don't like the cookie cutter options we are presented with. I do not like having some marketing fuckwad dictating to me what is and isn't sexy.

I heard a commercial on the radio while driving to work the other morning. It was the voice of this sexy woman telling men: you know what women REALLY want? Sexy abs and a high libido. And she was nearing orgasm as she marketed the product they were trying to get men to buy.

I got mad. Really mad. I said out loud to no one: Fuck you, you stupid bitch. You don't speak for me. I had sexy abs and a libido from hell for twelve years and in the end it was an abusive douche who didn't give two shits about me. You know what women REALLY want? Not to be treated like a disposable blow up doll. I prefer some flesh and even, yes, a little fat because I know now that a perfect body doesn't mean they are a good person.

I know it was just some voice actress.

I know the marketer is just doing his (or her) job.

I know no one could hear me.

But I said it. And I meant it. Each day, I grow more weary of the heard and all its accoutrements. I grow weary of the constant bleet of the sheep and the "hiyah!" of their herders. 

Ah well. My hair is dry. Time for another day mingling on the field of the human herd.
