KelticChaos

Today we look at a post writ­ten by a woman named Heather. She is a tal­ented writer who speaks directly to her reader. Keltic­Chaos is the name of her blog. In her post of Feb­ru­ary 5, 2008 she takes on men. We don’t mean a cou­ple of indi­vid­ual men. We are talk­ing about all men here.

The rea­son? A rather lame web­site “mag­a­zine” named Ask Men.com. I had never heard of this site. I read a piece about whiskey, and the author talked about the prices of scotch and Irish whiskey in 700 ML bot­tles. Trou­ble is, whiskey does not come in 700 ML bot­tles. The bot­tles are 750 ML. The object of Heather’s wrath is an arti­cle about Ask Men’s “99 Most Desir­able Women”. It is an arti­cle that shows that the sites lack of knowl­edge is not lim­ited to whiskey. They don’t know a thing about men and how we think either. But instead of blast­ing the mag­a­zine, Heather blasts men in general.

She writes, “I want to know why the women’s list is quan­ti­fied with the term “desir­able”, and the men’s list is based on their “man­li­ness”. I want to point out that there are almost twice as many peo­ple in the women’s list than in the men’s list. Too many women for you to choose from? Couldn’t nar­row it down a bit more? Had to dou­ble your odds? Yet another dis­crep­ancy between the two lists is that the women’s list does not con­tain a sin­gle woman with a less than Per­fect 10 body. The Men’s list how­ever, con­tains the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat?? Really? Borat is manly? Give me a flip­ping break.) David Chase (Sopra­nos), nov­el­ist Cor­mac McCarthy, rich guy Richard Bran­son, Stephen Col­bert (WTF? That’s all I’m sayin’)…”

So we may hap­pen to dis­agree with her, yet the post titled, What’s Wrong with the World is a ter­rific post. It made us think and react. And in the final analy­sis, isn’t that the impor­tant thing? The Ris­ing Blog­ger is pleased to award Heather our Post of the Day!
