We like to take a sample of the left-wing crazy and share it with our readers, hoping they will share it with others because the Left is really like this. And people need to know. Like when a writer at Slate says deodorant is “a made-up solution to a made-up problem” so she can bash the patriarchy.
Sarah Rumpf writing at RedState has an excellent take on this latest feminist outrage. Which I’d suggest is a made-up outrage as an excuse to write an article.
“Early marketing campaigns,” wrote (Slate contributor Shannon) Palus, “were designed to make women—and they were first marketed just to women—embarrassed about the entire concept of perspiration,” mentioning specific ads that described sweaty women as unappealing to male potential suitors.
“Nowadays,” she continued, “it’s practically expected that women aren’t supposed to sweat through their armpits, which is why I’ve been using antiperspirants since I was in middle school.
I can’t imagine why anyone, regardless of their birth sex, would be bothered by perspiration. Wait, yes, I can. Casting a foul stench. And yes, sweat stains. I think those are the top two. And while they are not as much an issue in workout clothes at a gym, or during competitive sports, society stays polite if we can all follow a few simple rules.
And it’s no Secret that one of them (at least in Western Culture) is don’t stink.
But the nerve, creating a product for women to market…to women, like abortion. Sorry, I mean antiperspirant. The bastards!
If those patriarchal SOB’s had minded-their own damn business Hillary Clinton might have stayed home and baked cookies instead and none of those other sweaty women would have allegedly had sex with her husband.
Who are we kidding?
Instead, we got women’s deodorant, and as Sarah notes,
“…women have outnumbered men in getting college degrees (including graduate and doctoral degrees), so you might think things are going fairly well for us.
What if it was all because of underarm cosmetics?
And not for nothing but couldn’t abandoning deodorant be considered cultural appropriation?
So, instead of giving everyone the third Degree, why not just say, ‘no sweat!’? Admit that someone did women a solid (roll-on or, before that Ozone thing – aerosol). And it worked out great. Girls are so popular now that men want to be them too.
