A Ferrerman's World

Often when I see a very good-looking female athlete, I'll say something like, "She does a great job- for a girl with such a spankable bottom". 

Does this sound sexist and or misogynist? 

Not to me. Because when you see a beautiful woman in a position of power, authority, on television, in film, or on the field, does your mind think things like, I bet I know how she got the job... If it doesn't- great! But many men and a good chunk of women see an attractive woman and think she slept her way to the top. They just know she did. 

Take Kamala Harris, our strikingly beautiful former Vice President. Throughout her career as a prosecutor, Attorney General of California, the US Senate and through her campaign for the presidency, she was saddled with ugly rumors that she had slept her way to and through all these careers. Why? Simply because she was beautiful. The better looking a woman is, the more she gets talked about. Women want to be her; men want to be with her. And if you can't do either, you get to talking. 

It's like stories of the "casting couch" in Hollywood. It's probably true to the extent that producers did give parts to attractive girls after sex, but I doubt that anyone was made a star after a couple of blowjobs. You have to have talent to be Faye Dunaway, Julia Roberts or Meryle Streep. Blowjobs aren't going to get you Academy Awards. Talent gets you those awards. I know there were stories about Harvey Weinstein sexually harassing established, female stars as well as newcomers. That was ugly stuff and he's in prison for it, where he belongs. I like to think he was an outlier. 

No doubt there are women who offer themselves up to get a part. Someone's always going to be desperate for success. I saw a fat, lump of shit named Joey Diaz talking to Joe Rogan about how he would tell female comedians they needed to blow him if they wanted a good spot in the night's lineup at his club. Now this guy is twice as ugly as Weinstein, and he may just be talking shit, but the two Joe's had quite a giggle with that. 

The way I look at sex is, if I wasn't there, I don't know if it happened or not. Guy's make stuff up and so do girls. I think somewhere in these pages I talked about an old schoolmate coming into my bar for the sole purpose of telling me that he had fvcked the prettiest girl in my school. She was probably the prettiest girl in your school too- anybody's school really- and that's a fact. Yep. I'm not familiar with her whole resume' in life, but she worked in local news- behind the scenes- in Chicago. If you know the market, Chicago is THE big time. A great city to make a career in, or a steppingstone to the networks. I'm sure she was regularly encouraged to go on camera, by everyone, but it's not the path she wanted. Same age as me, she's still a smart, beautiful woman who raised three fine sons, and I bet was great at all her jobs in life. 

A little sidetrack there. She was my 3rd grade crush all the way through- well- today.

The point here is beautiful women don't get the respect they deserve when it comes to their success in life. Good looks can open a lot of doors for women or men, but talent is as talent does. I really love that the pretty, athletic girls today are more likely to opt for sports, than cheering the boys on the sidelines. Not knocking cheerleaders as that can take a lot of athleticism, but why not track & field, the ballfield or basketball, volleyball courts. Or politics. Anything. And if somebody thinks you slept your way to success, that's on them. 

It's different for men. Look at our lump o' shit *president*. He got to the top despite all the girls and boys he screwed on the way up.
