Embarrassing [Dan Collins]

To what is this generation of young men coming?

A recent series of surveys in the United States found teenage girls are now drinking alcohol as much as or more than their male counterparts.

James Garbarino, the head of Loyola University’s Humanistic Psychology Department, said the negative change in U.S. teenage girls’ behaviors was indicative of the movement to increase gender equality nationwide, The Washington Post reported Sunday.

“When you take off the shackles, you release all kind of energy — negative and positive,” the holder of the Maude C. Clarke chair said. “By letting girls loose to experience America more fully, it’s not surprising that they would absorb some of its toxic environment.”

Get that? America’s environment: toxic. Girls drinking boys under the table. The shame! The shame!

    What does it mean when you let girls loose and they drink to escape? There’s a disconnect here somewheres.

  2. K says:

    No disconnect at all. What they’ve been freed from is quality relationships with quality men. The drinking follows QED.

  3. happyfeet says:

    Me, I’ll be over here standing in the gap. Or something.

  4. McGehee says:

    Happyfeet, nobody shops there anymore.

  5. Education Guy says:

    Well, my giving up booze for Lent probably helped to free up the supply so that the ladies could have more. So I’m partly to blame.

    Sorry.

  6. N. O'Brain says:

    Hey, I have a cousin, a member of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, who’s 91 years old, and can still drink me under the table. 7 and 7 or Manhattens.

    At her 90th birthday party, she led everyone in doing the Mummer’s Strut.

    (It’s a Philly thing)

    Isn’t obvious? Guys have to PAY for their drinks.

  8. Viktor says:

    Funny how even in the smallest and supposedly fun things, there are still some sort of gender based bias. SO what if girls drink more than guys? I hate to burst your bubbles, but in the end, men and women are made up of the same anatomy.

  9. McGehee says:

    I hate to burst your bubbles

    Oh sure, you say that — but I can tell you’re one of those bubble-bursting perverts we hear so much about.

    You know, Vik, that just hasn’t been my experience. You might ought to do some background checks on the women you are hanging out with. Just sayin’…

  11. serr8d says:

    …men and women are made up of the same anatomy…

    I just checked, again.

    Ummmm, no.

  12. happyfeet says:

    Drunk womens are more vulnerable than drunk mens. Except maybe Billie Joe McAllister. What a doof.

  13. guinsPen says:

    And the Chocktaw Ridge Gap holds.

    Thanks, ‘feets!

  14. guinsPen says:

    Oh, and what’s the story with Viktor/Roman/Taniqua et al and their
    similar phraseology and websites?

  15. happyfeet says:

    Maybe he’s just finding himself? I like his blog layout a lot though it’s not to any particular purpose really.

  16. guinsPen says:

    men and women are made up of the same anatomy

    But enough of this gay banter! I’m off to shovel.

  17. guinsPen says:

    but in the end

    Well, now that you put it that way.

  18. guinsPen says:

    From the ancient texts of something called Bonzo Dog Band.

    Interviewer: And how did you find youself this morning?

    Man-on-the-Street: Well, I just rolled back the sheets, and there I was!

    The British accent helps.
