What Women Don't Want
Women have always been some of nature's most mysterious animals, what with their fondness for "Dawson's Creek" and how they're nice to each other and and how they don't like to play air guitar for some reason, and more strangeness has been made manifest in BlogPulse's no. 22 link today. It's a 1966 board game called What Shall I Be and it progressively suggests that young girls consider careers as flight attendants, teachers, fashion models or nurses. You draw cards that tell you what skills will best serve each profession, such as "passed English" for teacher or "physical fitness" for ballet dancer, but also can encounter obstacles, such as "overweight," which can hurt your modeling career, or "slow thinker," — you're just a girl, after all — meaning you can't be a nurse. Bradley, the blogger who posted this game, writes: "And girls, don't even think about medical school or joining the track team. There are rules to every game, right?" So, wait, women don't like being misogynistically typecast into stereotypical gender roles? Weird. The fairer bloggers certainly don't like this game: "So I'm overweight, clumsy, I get too excited, AND I have poor posture and sloppy make-up. By the standards of this game, I should have starved to death by now," writes Berg. Another blogger doesn't see any reason she is disqualified for one job the game doesn't include: "Maybe we'll settle for being a blogger, instead," she writes. That's not "settling" — that's much cooler than any job on there.
