R. U. a Misogynist?

Meet Justin Lookadoo.

He has absolutely no professional credentials whatsoever when it comes to education, child or adolescent development, child or adolescent psychology, human relationships, human sexuality or counseling, but he was a juvenile probation officer for six years and he allegedly has a "biology degree" from Tarleton State University.

All that makes him the "perfect" guy to write a book telling teens whether or not they are "Dateable."

It also makes him a great person to invite to a public school where he is given a captive audience to preach his brand of hipster christianity.

So what makes someone dateable, you ask?

If you are a boy, some of the advice is pretty generic and can be found in any "Pick-up Artist" seminar, like being a gentleman, being honest, being confident, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da.

But it also means:

-Knowing that you "are stronger, more dangerous, and more adventurous" than the opposite sex.

I wonder if that means from time to time that you have to "put 'em in their place?" 

So what if you are a girl?

Well:

-"Dateable girls know how to shut up."

-"God made guys as leaders. Dateable girls get that and let him do guy things, get a door, open a ketchup bottle. They relax and let guys be guys. Which means they don’t ask him out!!!"

-"A Dateable girl isn’t Miss Independent."

-"You are soft, you are gentle, you are a woman. Don’t try to be a guy."

 -"The sexiest thing on a girl is happiness."
 
(Don't believe me, go look this shit up http://www.rudateable.com/cool_rules.php)

So according to Pinhead from "Hellraiser"'s bastard son up there, girls need to shut up, be happy, don't try to out-do the boys, and above all, be dependent and let the boy be the boss.

Quick Quiz:

Which advice came from Lookadoo, and which came from "Ridiculously Bad Advice From the 1950s."?

 "To make him feel important, you have to forget your own desires for importance. Compliment him. The worst mistake a girl can make is to make a man feel intellectually inferior or inadequate as a male. We men need a lot of reassurance. So lay it on thick but subtly. Stroke his ego. Let him think he's king much of the time. He will love you for it, and, you know, it will make you feel extremely feminine."

"You’re a girl. Be proud of all that means. Guys like you because you are different from them. So let your girly-ness soar"

"Complaining, whining, comparing, sneering, harping – the nagger may specialize in one or be a general practitioner of all these forms of mental cruelty."

"[good girls] aren’t downers, they love life."

"[good girls] don’t monopolize the conversation. They don’t tell everyone everything about themselves. They save some for later. They listen more than they gab."

"Let him do guy things, get a door, open a ketchup bottle. [R]elax and let guys be guys. Which means ... don’t ask him out!!!"

"Let him lead."

"If he's made plans for the evening, don't try to change them."

 "A young woman should begin in her teens learning the things that keep a home running smoothly. She can watch how her mother cooks and bakes. There are also many opportunities for a daughter to observe how Mother handles Dad when he’s had a tough day at work."

If you can't tell the difference, neither could I.  And THAT is the problem with Justin Lookadoo.
