But I&#8217;m a sexist in the best<br \/>\nsense of the word. If sexist meant I believed men were inherently better than<br \/>\nwomen it would be a negative concept. But that is not what I mean. To me sexist<br \/>\nis acknowledging and living by what used to be the age-old common sense concept<br \/>\nthat there are indeed <i>some<\/i> things men<br \/>\nare better at than women, and vice-versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Since I&#8217;m not a woman I am not going to comment<br \/>\non where women are better than men since they already know that answer and if<br \/>\nyou don&#8217;t believe me, and you got a couple hours to kill, just ask them. One<br \/>\narea women believe they are better at than men is when it comes to shopping.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll grant them they are more experienced at shopping than us but they&#8217;re not<br \/>\nnecessarily as discerning when it comes to what they don&#8217;t <i>need<\/i>. This is where getting men&#8217;s advice can literally change their<br \/>\nlife. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Women for example have a tendency to fall for<br \/>\nevery new specialty contrivance that marketing wizards can come up with to sell<br \/>\nus crap we never needed in the first place. Women need men to weed out the<br \/>\nwheat from the chaff in order to better utilize their buying power, since<br \/>\nshopping is after all the modern version of the hunt. Something I might add men<br \/>\nare specialists in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Personal grooming is the easiest product to con<br \/>\nwomen into buying since they are the first and only human that fell for the<br \/>\nconcept that the way God made you is defective and the only way to feel good<br \/>\nabout yourself is to buy and wear makeup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Men only wear makeup when performing on stage or<br \/>\nscreen which should tell you a little bit about what makeup actually is,<br \/>\nsomething to enhance, deceive and or con others into believing you look<br \/>\ndifferent and therefore <i>better<\/i> than<br \/>\nyou actually do. That is why acting&#8217;s universal logo is the mask. I&#8217;ll talk<br \/>\nabout this more in depth at another session. For now let&#8217;s choose an easy<br \/>\ntarget, soap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Soap is a concept that women notoriously<br \/>\noverbuy. For example there is shampoo, which is liquid soap used for your hair<br \/>\nand then there is body wash, which is liquid soap used for your body. This odd<br \/>\ndelineation between soaps that are both liquid and both used while showering<br \/>\nmakes sense to women and so they buy both products when only one was ever<br \/>\nneeded all along.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Obviously shampoo and body wash are one and the<br \/>\nsame. Shampoo is simply body wash that <b>starts<\/b><br \/>\nwith your hair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Every man knows instinctively that shampoo<br \/>\nworked into a thick lather becomes overkill since there is <i>way<\/i> more suds than necessary <i>but<\/i><br \/>\nwhen scooped up by the handful and used as a body wash while showering you kill<br \/>\ntwo birds with one stone. If shampoo is good enough to clean my hair why wouldn&#8217;t<br \/>\nit contain the innate ability to clean my skin as well? Nevertheless there is<br \/>\nliquid hair soap, liquid body soap and lest we forget liquid hand soap. We used<br \/>\nto use bar soap for our hands but soap makers realized that all you have to do<br \/>\nis liquefy soap, give it a appendage specific title and voila, you an sell<br \/>\ntwice as much!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>My point is simple ladies, sometimes guys simply<br \/>\nknow more than you. Respect our instincts and learn from us before it&#8217;s too<br \/>\nlate and somebody gets the bright idea to start selling makeup removal soap<br \/>\ncause lord knows you&#8217;ll fall for it!<span>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of yesterday being Father&#8217;s day I would like to make a declaration.I am a sexist.

From his Nashville stronghold, Stine is mounting his crusade against these hypocrisies, all of which are explored in his highly anticipated 4th album\/DVD, aptly titled \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWUSSIFICATION!' \"You know what offends me?... Offended people,\" says Stine. A staunch supporter of first amendment rights and foe of political correctness, Stine asserts that rights should be universally applied. \"In a country with guaranteed rights to freedom of religion, its citizens are constantly trying to make faith in public spheres illegal, I am offended by that contradiction and want to talk about it as a comic.\" The strength of his conviction about our freedoms can be found in many places on WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from \"Merry Christmas Too!\" (the right to celebrate religion) to \"At Least We're Not France!\" (the responsibility to take action as a country) to \"Spank\" (the ability to discipline our children the way we see fit). What would cause the wussification of Brad Stine? \"I hope that nothing ever wussifies me to deny my own personal beliefs,\" he says. \"Brainwashed wussies have been taught that standing up for yourself and defending your personal point of view makes you a close-minded hate monger.\" Stine stops short of defending his point of view as the ONLY one, adding \"...one must also be respectful of dissenting belief while supporting their own.\" He is, after all, an inclusive figure who trains his comedy to attack ideas, not the people who embrace them. Stine's faith forces him to acknowledge the respect and dignity of all\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 even the wussies with whom he disagrees! Stine models his approach to comedy after legendary practitioners that he has known and loved over the years. Despite George Carlin's disdain for theistic beliefs, he has been a big influence on Stine. \"I always enjoyed Carlin for turning the tables on culture. He is an excellent writer that has endured for decades.\" More current comedic touchstones are Brian Reagan, Paula Poundstone, Jim Gaffigan and Monty Python, among others. Fear not, true believers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with his brand new album, Brad Stine is here to save the world from WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c one politically-correct, offended person at a time!\"","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/author\/bstine"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/223"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
