  1. Don't get me wrong. I can be a pigheaded, macho idiot. I often get caught up in gender roles. I think it's a man's job to open jars, change the oil & hang the shelves. I think it's incumbent on new mothers to breastfeed if logistically possible. I ain't innocent of sexism. But this is a case of some young women who worked their asses off just to celebrate THIS moment. In my book they aren't women or men; they're jocks. Jocks fire up stogies & sip the bubbly when they win the big 1. ALL jocks.

  2. Bloated, he understands NOTHING; let alone foreign politics. Just point & laugh. It's easier & more fulfilling.

  3. You can't define ladylike for a woman even if you're a woman. That's up to each individual to define for self. And yes, Beyonce's booty has given her a degree of power. She gets paid millions to shake that ass. Is money equivalent to power? Not exactly. But it's part & parcel to power.

  4. Which 1s are under 19? Also, marijuana is decriminalized in Vancouver. It's practically North America's version of Amsterdam. They partied in their own little circle. They didn't subject anyone else to it. Spare us the moral high ground... unless you're joking. In that case, lol.

  5. So what, in your estimation, is a lady-like celebration? Tea & crumpets? Are they supposed to sit around reading Vogue? Lemme guess, they're supposed to knit & share their favorite recipes... right? Happiness has no gender. They worked hard to get there. Sometimes, they work harder than the men because women usually aren't as strong in terms of upper body strength. Being born with 2 chromosomes means they can't whoop, holler, light cigars & chug beer? What century are YOU from?

  6. @Existantia But in fairness, breastfeeding is better for the baby. My hands are strong so I'm usually the designated jar opener. And I don't want my girl's beautiful, slender hands getting ruined with grease, knucklebusters or splinters. It's an aesthetic thing for me. Men are "duty-based" & women should be admired & doted on. Call me a caveman. I also think there are some clear expectations of a man in terms of accountability. There's clear expectations about grace when it comes to women.

  7. @caseyj69ca I'm not sure if Canada will ever have the dough to "buy" the US because it's comprised of people. People with integrity don't have pricetags. But socialized health care is a great idea. The prices would go down simply because there'd be better management of chronic diseases. I don't know if it was American photographers. It ultimately doesn't matter. This is a non-issue. You train, you compete, you win, you celebrate; in that order. We only go around once. Let 'em yuck it up.

  8. Beer? Well that's unacceptable. Throw them under a bus... eh?

  9. @Existantia EXACTLY!! They didn't have to apologize for shit. If it were the men's team, they'd institute a writ of "boys will be boys". That's crap. They weren't hurting anyone. This was a monumental event. For the briefest of moments, they were the best at something. Not the best in a league. They're best on the PLANET. And some uptight nimrods are complaining about how they express that elation of accomplishment? Buh-loney. Anyone that's complaining has probably never been good at something.

  10. Most of all, war the players with the magnum bottle of sparkling wine/champagne. In fairness, the legal age to drink in Cannuckland is 19. I just checked their website. All those women are of age.

  11. @Existantia You're right. And like I said, I'm a caveman in many ways. But not in this case. Those young women sacrificed a lot to get the title "Olympic Gold Medalist". I don't give a fuck if they went out to an orgy of sex, drugs & rock n'roll after winning. They deserved every bit of celebration they got. "Lady-like" is ($20 word alert) an anachronism. I'm at least sophisticated enough to observe that much.

  12. War the player with the cigar. War the 2 players with their feet in the air. War the women posing for the pics. You'll never win a gold medal for the 1st time again. Fuck the critics.
