Dear Men, Just Listen

Long, long ago when great mastodons roamed the earth...

Woman: That saber-tooth tiger is really bothering me. He scares the kids and he keeps eating our meat!

Man: I go kill. KILL!


Modern time...

Woman: My boss is really bothering me. He never listens to what I say and he doesn't pay me enough.

Man: I go kill. KILL!

Lets face it...


Men have not evolved in how they approach women's problems. I'm not saying that I don't appreciate the cave-man desire to kill something and bring it back to us as a prize. That's very thoughtful. What I'm saying is that we no longer need you to kill our problems. Listening is the perfect alternative.

Men want to solve a woman's problems before she's even done describing them. That's nice, but most of the time, all we want is someone to listen and be sympathetic.

Important Hint: If we want help we will say "please help me...." or "what do you think I should do about..."

In the future after all men have read this blog...


Woman: Betsy keeps making fun of me because she has purple skin and three more eyes than I have.

Man: I go ki- I mean, I'm sorry honey, that really sucks, want me to bring you some ice cream?

Woman: Ice cream would be great, but maybe later. The fact that you were so sensitive and sympathetic was so hot that all I want to do is have mad, passionate sex. Right now.

See what I did there? I'm letting men know that they will get sex in return for being awesome. Let the revolution begin.

I Hate Animal Rights

Don't get me wrong: I love animals. I just love humans more. The next time someone asks you to sign a petition to stop the euthanizing of animals ask them this: Who is going to give all the money needed to take care of the hundreds of thousands of animals that are unwanted? You? If you want to do it, then adopt them all yourself. If not, Shut up.

Also, to vegans, I respect your decision but please don't try to convince me that I should be like you. If you do, this is what I will say: you claim that animals are just as important/special/wonderful as humans and should not be eaten/taken advantage of. If animals were really equal to humans, they would be much more intelligent and wouldn't do things like eat their own babies. Further more, if all lives are sacred, you should remember that a life is defined as something that can grow and reproduce. This includes vegetables. If you want to eat something that is not alive try some rocks or dirt.

These people have so much passion for what they do. I wish they would use that passion for something more important like feeding orphans, getting children free healthcare, curing cancer, stopping war, ending hate crimes and so forth.

Next time you want to save an animal, save a human instead.

Love, Bethany

Just Say No

Why is it so difficult for people to say "no" when they want to?

It's just a one-syllable word; only two letters long!

Try saying it once in awhile instead of saying "yes" but not meaning it, or saying nothing. I pisses me off so much when someone says "yes" but they're faking it. People do this ALL the time. It's as though there needs to be a boot camp where the human race can go to learn how to say "no." If that idea ever takes off, I will gladly be in charge. Here is where I will start...

How To Say "No":


STEP ONE: Consider the question being asked of you.

STEP TWO: Consider what your truthful answer is

STEP THREE: If your answer is "yes" say "yes" if your answer is "no" proceed to step four

STEP FOUR: Think of a polite way to phrase your answer

STEP FIVE: Grow a pair and just say "no"
