New York blogger Allison Hope recently penned a crass editorial for xoJane in which she describes public flatulence as her “secret feminist weapon that works every time.”
After lamenting her perception that women “get silenced, pushed aside, ignored, paid less, denied care, called names, and a million and one other bad things,” Hope recalled the cramped subway ride that gave her an unorthodox idea.
“The first time it happened, I admit it wasn’t deliberate,” she wrote. “It was one of those days when I had eaten something like fava beans for lunch, and the gas was just mounting in my intestines for hours while I pushed it back in at work.”

Whenever you are in a public place, let it rip and yell,
“That one was for Hillary!”
I suppose I’ll having to stop washing my hands in the bathroom in clever response.
....and the next one is for Obama.
When I was a little boy women wore hats, gloves and dresses even to go to the store. I’m not ancient. Have we devolved that much?
Sounds French...
feminist... sounds more like a crazy cat woman
Yes. Now women wear their jammies to the store.
The editorial was from September 2015, hardly "recent". Those farts are getting old.
What this is is an example of how out of touch these people are. Didn’t she know that Kalifornia has passed laws against cows farting. Does she think that since she looks and acts like a cow that she is exempt? Typical liberal.
Classy chick. Is she hoping to start a ‘movement’?
‘I fart everywhere now’
= = =
I am reminded of Johnny Cash lyrics -
I’ve been everywhere, man
I’ve been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man
I’ve breatherd the mountain air, man
Travel, I’ve had my share, man
I’ve been everywhere
If fact, she should be sued for plagiarism.
Allison is of the endangered species known as Native New Yorker where she currently resides with her wife and their furry feline. PR specialist by day and journalist by night, she's written for magazines, newspapers, blogs, microblogs, newsletters, and on cocktail napkins (and once on a stranger's behind). Oh big whoop, lady, so does my husband and my dog. That is no special talent....
Probably something that the NYC advertisers can feature to draw tourists in addition to queer Broadway shows...maybe even a feature on NBC Evening News as Inspiring America!
That was good,I LOL.
My dad used to fly back in the late 60s. He said everyone was dressed up. Of course, flying was more expensive back then and not all could afford to fly.
Now adays, almost anyone can afford to fly. I do dress comfortably on a plane though. If I have to get out, I want to be able to move!
I admit I like casual, but I think in some cases we've taken it a bit too far.
Think you are underpaid now? Excessive farting at work will result in even LESS pay, lady!!!;)
