Rosscast Episode 50: "The Double Standard"

Photobucket



Oh, boy. Man, do I know how to babble. In this episode I talk about everything from zombie proofing, vampire movies, Halloween, why chivalry is dead, and why not to date chicks that dress like whores. I also try out my new Meatwad impersonation. Enjoy!

The report was very funny (and informative, for the zombie novice like meself) but I'm astounded that there was actual serious research done into a zombie attack. They tried to excuse it on the basis that it has something to do with vectors and plague or whatever but c'mon!

I bought Amy one of those Survival Guide books, which explains with graphics how to survive dangerous situations, and her favourite was how to survive a zombie attack because she's terrified of them. She broke off an engagement to her first fiancé and while I was trying to cheer her up by coming up with reasons to be glad he was out of her life, she sniffled and said 'Well, he won't freak me out by clawing at my car door and pretending to be a zombie anymore'. Poor girl has a serious phobia.

The Twilight vamps are wussier than you think. Not only can they go out in a cloudy day, they can go out in any sunshine. The reason they don't is because their skin is made up of diamond-like scales which reflects sunlight and would draw attention to them. This is why they live in dreary Washington State, so the sunshine's effect is muted by the clouds. I agree, a proper vampire is confined to ze night as ze vunderful children of ze night. But I STILL LIKED TWILIGHT.

Chivalry was invented to compensate for the fact that women had shitty, shitty lives back in that era. That's why it died off as women started being able to do the same thing as men. But if a guy (or woman) holds a door for me, I'll say thanks, because it's a courtesy. And hey, I object to your assertion that as women gained the right to do what they want, they stopped raising their children properly. My mother and, more certainly my friends, are able to do anything a guy can, thanks to the struggles of preceding generations, but they're still awesome, amazing mothers. So nyah!!

And I don't for a second accept that it's ok to behave badly because you've got a dose of PMS, unless you're a teenager, and even then, I'm not so sure. Women are by definition ADULTS, and if they can't control their emotions, intense and rollercoaster though they can be, then they're not acting like adults. I absolutely despise women who use PMS as an excuse for bad behaviour, not only for being horrible, immature people, but also for giving jerk-off men ammunition to accuse women in general of being unable to control their emotions and therefore being irresponsible and not suitable to...whatever. Women are sometimes their own worst enemies. If you're in a bad mood, no matter what the problem, deal with it. It's not other people's problem, and don't make it theirs.

In France and Ireland, dads can take equal time off work for sick kids. Just sayin'.
