The author of this horrendous article from Lemondrop, The Most Annoying Stuff Girls Do , wants to make sure we ladies know what behaviors to avoid. Do Scott Indrisek a favor and let him know, via the comments, how offensive his comments are. Make sure you scroll down and click on the image of the charming young woman with the cigarette in her mouth to access the pop-up photo gallery, detailing the ten annoying girl behaviors.
There are quite a few things wrong with Indrisek's list, but my biggest grievance is that several of the behaviors are exhibited by both sexes, but are only "annoying" when women do so. Then there's the fact that Indrisek apparently finds female sexuality annoying, as evidenced by his dislike of thong underwear (huh?), Sex and the City-style opennes about sex, and "fake" lesbians (because he's an authority on what constitutes a "real" lesbian). But enough about my opinions of the article. Go see for yourself.

The article was horrid, but at least as of right now, all the comments are saying the article is completely and utterly wrong. So... article = FAIL, comments = WIN. (I understand this may change as the day goes on, however.)
These all seem to be his individual preferences. But as a woman with kickass tattoos, I have to say anyone who says "Ink should be restricted to men only" should fuck off choke and die. (Or anyone who says ANYTHING should be for men only.)
Agreed! There's no gene on the Y chromosome for "makes tattoos badass instead of skeezy", and I happen to think my ink is a hell of a lot more tasteful than a lot of the pieces I've seen on men!
I agree with Rose. I was pretty surprised that the comments all pointed out the crappyness of this article. That gave me a lot of hope in humanity. Or maybe a little bit of hope.
Why the hell is knitting on there? Seriously? I think it's a very respectable and constructive hobby for women AND men. I love the assumption that every woman who knits is simply trying really hard to be a hot nerd like Tina Fey. And by "love," I mean that it makes me want to tear my own eyeballs out and chuck them into a blender.
