random sass & musing™

this article, toted as a HOW-TO GUIDE FOR PROPOSALS, was amusing. almost as amusing as the comments following it. i suppose it shouldn't be a surprise to me that more & more RELEVANT readers seem to become more & more disillusioned with the articles. however, that's the beauty of allowing for different opinions, no? we want our free speech so badly that we'll cut others off to ensure ours is heard. as alanis might say, "isn't it ironic, dontcha think?"

one poster made the comment that because it's 2004, women should be willing to bend the knee to ask the guy. somehow i'm not picturing that i'd ever want to be dressed to the nines & kneeling to present ... to present what? an engagement ring? to a man? i find that amusing. "here's your titanium ring of promise, my sweet. i know how you hate diamonds so."

i'm all for the recognition that neither gender is better than the other. despite knowing that i am quite capable as a woman, i still want to be treated like a lady. i'd make my point by stamping my foot, but i imagine my mother would think that unladylike.
