Pretty catchy title, huh? Not sure which century the author's from. Here's the link:

It reads to me like a man wrote it. Can't really put my finger directly on why though.

Terri...Maybe it was comments like this
Black panties are notorious -- if a woman slips them on, you know she's gunning for some action.
or
Women like to feel sexy even if they're single. They like to feel sexy all the time -- while cleaning the house or getting ready to for a night on the town.

OMG I cannot believe those comments were written by a female journalist in the 21st Century!
Ed better be ready if I happen to be wearing black panties
and cleaning the house...

(you know, I always wear my strawberry flavoured pair that flash and play 'Magic Moments' every time I plug in the vacuum cleaner

)
love,
Curly

Tell me if I'm wrong ladies

It's only me Jeannie. Men see and hear things from women in a completely skewed way. It's odd that a woman would feel that way.
If a woman happens to just smile at a man in a social situation he's thinking"She wants me bad".
If a man's spouse go's over her girlfirends house he knows they are having a pillow fight in their bra and panties on the bed. If he sees a woman that has on heels and an ankle bracelet he knows that they're easy.
There is a book recently written by a man who edited personal adds for a avantgarde newspaper and I heard him interviewed on Public radio and it was hilarious. He helped people write their adds and told women what phrases to stay away from. He said if you say that you are adventurous men take that as "You put out". I have the name of the book somewhere and have to post it. Women always write what type of man they want to meet and men just talk about themselves. Women who are very intelligent,have a great career and attractive describe themselves as "average" and a man with a beer belly,no job, who is 40 and living in his parents basement will describe himself as "A good catch". This author was so funny but it's true. Men always over promise and under deliver but it's the exact opposite for women. Why is that? You ladies usually have so much more to offer in a relationship than men.
What usually happens when you have a baby GGs? Most mens lives don't change in the least. They hug the baby in hospital pictures and when they get home they say"Honey! The baby needs changing. Honey. The baby is crying. Do something. Honey. feed the baby" Then they go about their day as usual as if you women have the instructions on how to operate and maintain a baby. You have it tough ladies. I feel for you. Hugs
Love
Jeannie

Yes it does read like it was written by a man.

I would love to see a pair of panties like that. Now I love my panties no matter what they look like when I wear them. Wal-Mart at halloween has panties that I will buy at least one pair of. I have already bought one pair this year.

Hi all,
Terri,
I was thinking exactly the same thing. I do think this was written by a man (or perhaps by the authors of
The Rules, who knows?

).
Love,
CJ

I got the following from the site where the "article" was posted:
Esther Zsoldos - Love & Sexuality, Living it Up
Currently pursuing her master degree in journalism, Esther attends Carleton University in Ottawa. An avid snowboarder and travel enthusiast, this writer brings her flair for this world to each and every article she authors.
I suppose a woman can be just as sexist or misogynistic as a man.

"I suppose a woman can be just as sexist or misogynistic as a man."
Oh, I have no doubt that's true. I also consider the possibility of Esther being a psuedonym!

I don't know. It's got that slightly breathy style of writing that I see in
Cosmopolitan. [I only read it in doctor's offices, I swear...

]
Of course, men may be writing "women's" articles all the time, and they have to go overboard with that style to hide their tracks--who knows? It's the journalistic version of
Tootsie. "Gotta make the rent--hey, maybe I could dash out a quick piece for a WOMEN'S magazine! Never thought of that! Call myself 'Ima Fox,' or something. How hard can that be?" Sound of furious typing...
I have to acknowledge that the line about cleaning the house sounds like a CD posting on a message board somewhere. I'm surprised that no editor caught that reference to a pair of old grey panties with a frayed "waste."

Hi all,
Anita,
It's a well-known fact that well over half of all students entering university have managed to get there without ever being able to distinguish between "it's" and "its" or "accept" and "except" or, as in the case of "Ms" Zsoldos, between "waste" and "waist." As you say, though, Anita, this is probably more of a reflection on the editor's sharpness (or lack thereof) than on the author's "muddle-tonguedness."
Love,
CJ
