9 May 2013

As attentive Daily Quoters would know, we are often blessed with contributions from a number of people on a number of interesting topics.
Recently, The Daily Quota was lucky enough to make a contribution of its own.

Young, Savvy and Sydney is a local blog that tackles all things sociological - from gender politics to social commentary to general discussion on the life of a cosmopolitan law student in a city that reflects its occupants - beautiful, successful, and frighteningly elitist.
The Daily Quota recently had the opportunity to contribute to a piece titled The Bare Truth in which she discussed the changing nature of cross-generational feminism (except in a far less elitist manner).
She summarises her post with one swift kick in the teeth - Please donate generously to the girls of our generation, as their lack of clothing keeps them cold this time of the year.
Since I've had some experience in gender-political satire, she decided to get me on board. 
Here is a brief snippet of our contribution to YS&S:

Ah yes, us men are smarter than we look.We’ve sat by while feminism grew and grew to the point where it grew so big that it became self-aware – and since Feminism is most likely female, it then also became self-conscious.You’ve burnt your bras, we’ve enjoyed the show. You ripped at your clothes in an act of defiance, we’ve enjoyed the show.Oh you pretty things have walked right into our trap! The above is default proof that women are confused. Or perhaps they’re unsure if they’re confused?Either way, we now have a generation of little women wearing littler apparel – then insisting that we do not look. No, they hadn’t anticipated that the Feminism umbilical cord stretched further than the Venus of Willendorf - where art thou, Fairer of the Sexes?

Her immediate response was thus; "Alex, you're sleazy and condescending, but you're a good boy."
Aww shucks.
