Sometimes it's the little things that really piss me off. The insignificant matter of a boy's high school basketball game and who is fit to referee it is the subject du jour, and the focus of my ire. Michelle Campbell, a somewhat mannish looking lady referee was all set to ref a boys B-ball game. The game was at St. Mary’s Academy, a private religious school about 25 miles northwest of Topeka, as reported on Kansas City.com . Before the game started, a school administrator approached Campbell’s referee partner, and told him a woman could not serve as referee. That would be putting a woman in a position of authority over boys, he was told , a scenario that was contrary to beliefs at St. Mary’s Academy. Women have been telling me what to do my entire life, unfortunately, I rarely listened to them, and I turned out to be one hot mess. In fact I am a cautionary tale when it comes to not listening to women. To his credit the male ref walked out on the game.
The school is owned and operated by the Society of St. Pius X. Apparently these misanthropes felt that the catholic church had become to liberal, due to some popes decree that mass should be read in the language of the parishioners rather than Latin. Let me say that again, the catholic church was too fast and loose for these clowns.
Are you kidding me? Seriously, who could accuse the catholic church of being to far to the left? Well these knuckle heads that's who. I am assuming this is just the tip of the iceberg, and soon even more early Roman Catholic traditions will be re instituted. What's next ? Maybe they will start rounding up the locals who don't adhere to their dogma and have their own version of the Spanish inquisition.
Apparently st. Mary's is molding their young men to believe that anyone sporting a Va Jay Jay is beneath them. But they have female teachers, I'm assuming these boys mothers tell them what to do as well, so whats the real reason? Well, I have my own theory. I could be completely off base, and I have zero facts to bolster any of this, so lets call it an unsubstantiated gut feeling on my part. I think it's a clear cut case of anti lesbian discrimination. I have no idea if Michelle Campbell is a lesbian, but she definitely looks a little butch to me. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I like lesbians, and if I was a woman, Id be a lesbian. So Ms. Campbell, if you read this, my inferrance about your sexual proclivities, accurate or not, are in no way meant in a derogatory way. I'm just saying, you look a little butch. And if a liberal, forward thinking fan of Sappho's such as myself thinks you are taking float trips down Lake Lick-a Snatchee, then its easy to assume that Friar Tuck who cock blocked you from reffing the B-ball game thinks likewise.
In closing I think that women should be outraged, regardless of their sexual orientation. I am calling upon all women to rise up as one and smote these knuckle dragging, mohair robe wearing , douche bags. There should be a million uterus march on the campus of this bastion of misogyny.
I really doubt that these douche bags wear mohair. They don't have the class.

ReplyDeleteI almost shot coffee out of my nose this morning when I read this. Awesome!
I, too, am a lesbian trapped in a man's body. I have a cabin on the shores of Lake Lick-a Snatchee.
Anybody wanna see my canoe?
Spyder : actually I think monks wear hair shirts, not sure about the mo part, but it had a nice ring to it.
ReplyDeleteXO: making people spit through their nose, is what this is all about.
I like the float trips from time to time. lol
ReplyDeleteCould you imagine (and not that I voted for her, because I didn't) if we had a woman president? woooooooowzer. Yes boys, you will, or rather should, listen to women all your lives. =) Thanks mom!
What happened to religious tolerance? Why we pick and choose what's to be tolerated? One of my co-workers who used to sport miniskirts and had a reputation of being slutty, suddenly turned Muslim and now walks around covered head to toe and wrapped in some scarf. She was even interviewed on TV about the hard life of newly-minted white female Muslims. I personally don't claim to have any tolerance, it mostly consists of me shutting up when she happens to be in the same elevator with me. But any time you say something there are people who remind you to be tolerant. Where are these people in this case? So bunch of clowns don't like female referee. That's their belief, albeit stupid, but we should only be supportive. Right?
ReplyDeleteSee thats a tough one. If the religion is intolerant itself, then I dont feel obligaited to be tolerant of same. Besides it was either this or another Valentines Day post, so give me points for sparing you that.
ReplyDeleteAF, wear a life jacket on those float trips.
And Im still not convinced Hillary is really a woman.
Fuck tolerance. I feel no need to be tolerant of irrational beliefs. If someone says the pixies caused his cold, I don't have to tolerate that. If someone says there is no street called "Quivera" in JoCo, I don't have to tolerate that. If someone says the sun literally "rises" and does so in the west, I don't have to tolerate that. If someone says there's no such thing as gravity, I'll intolerantly and happily shove him off a roof. The idea that just because someone cloaks their irrationality as "FAITH" or "RELIGION" it's suddenly off limits for me to call bullshit on it, is, quite frankly, bullshit. Namby-pamby "oh, let's all just get along and respect each other's religious freedom" is a pussified refusal to face the harm that religion does to society and is partly to blame when abortion clinics get bombed, morons fly planes into buildings, white supremacist Christian Identity fucks blow up Federal buildings, the Vatican disallows condom distribution in Africa while millions die of AIDS, etcetera ad nauseum. Far as I'm concerned, by tolerating irrationality we become complicit in their irrational conduct. Fuck Tolerance.
ReplyDeletethat's true and my position exactly, but the "tolerant" morons will prevail. same tirade will get you suspended at most places of employment, or depending on who happens to overhear get you some kind of harassment complain.
ReplyDeleteI have a girlfriend who has mohair goats on her farmette up north. She shears them & spins it.
ReplyDeletethe reason that the school would not permit a female referee was not because they believe in male superiority or that boys should not be sumbitted to a female. Contrarily they have female teachers and nuns and they must be respected . the boys get more severely punished if they are disrespectful to a female authority figure than with a male... except for the priests.
