Hello you cheeky batch of munkeys, In fact, just typing that has made me realise there really isn't enough monkey talk on Sinister is there? But that's not why I'm posting. A few of you may know my posting habits - I tend to lurk for months, never contributing a jot or adding to the debate until something baffles me to the point where I simply can't resist opening the forum to a bunch of B&S fans who quite possibly have an answer for everything. This year's hot topic: Why is it that boys have great hobbies and interests while most girls just seem to make a lifelong hobby of snaring the boys with the hobbies? HUH? Is anybody else out there feeling this? Par exampluh: Boys can: Play guitar (and/or other instruments) DJ Make the interweb Shoot films Skateboard (ref: the delightful Avril Lavigne) etc Girls can: Put on make-up Shop for Scotland Flirt Win gold in Olympic gossip Hug It's not like I hadn't noticed the difference before, but it's becoming more and more glaringly obvious as the boys are turning their hobbies into really cool and exciting careers, while the girls are lagging behind, tripping up over their legwarmers. (Think Spinal Tap's Jeanine to the infintely talented David and you're catching my drift...) Can anyone explain this, or am I just being a bit too hard on my sistahs? Perhaps you'll retort with a 'speak for yourself', but come on, I mean, we're a bit crap, aren't we? Oh dear, what a poorly-constructed arguement. If I were a boy, I'd have thought it through - laid it out. Better still, I'd have sent you a post about something more interesting - like whammy bars or whatever they're talking about down Denmark Street this week. Answers on a Dukes of Hazzard postcard please.
