Good news for people with vaginas

Got a comment from Egalia to an earlier post. She writes:

...the fact is people with penises continue to rule the church, the state, the corporation, ETC., and the world is a friggin mess. Both fairness and sanity suggest the world might be a better/warmer/saner place if people with vaginas get their turn.


This just in...

Cathy Guisewhite is automatically a better cartoonist than was Charles Schulz, because she has a vagina.

The L Word is automatically a better show than Huff or the first four years of West Wing because it's written by more people with vaginas than they are/were.

For that matter, Anna Faris is a better actor than Hank Azaria, because she has a vagina, and he does not.

Amy Ephron is a better novelist than Gregory McDonald-again, because of that whole vagina thing.

Mary J. Blige is a better singer/songwriter than Colin Hay. You know why? Vagina.

Paris flickin-Hilton is of more value, and stands a better chance of making this world a better/saner/warmer place than Muhammed Ali. She has a vagina too, after all (in case you hadn't heard).

Oh, and Margaret Cho is a more important comedian than Richard Pryor. Can you guess why?

In closing, I'm going to repeat something I said in replying to Egalia's comment:

What's between people's ears is more important than what's between their legs.

And thank you and goodnight.

for Egalia: I was more referring to the mentality of painting the entire male sex as bad and the entire female sex as good. Such generalizations are actually more detrimental to forwarding women's causes. It's as bad as a black person saying all white people are bad, because they are white. Do I think there should be MORE equality--in government, the workplace, childcare, the church, etc.? YES. Do I think we need to continue to make our voices heard where applicable to ensure this fairness and equality? YES. I just don't see the point in such militant and strident generalizations.

And Ben, did you just--gasp!--defend me? My hero... :)

Not at all, you don't need it. You're more than capable of defending yourself, as you've just demonstrated.
