Can FReepers not take a joke?
She’s poking fun at single women in NYC who lament the relative paucity of single hetero men there—and imagine it better elsewhere. She’s making fun of her/their expectations, more than of crude single men in ‘flyover country’.
As a comedian said, if a man has 20 pillows on his bed, he is either married or gay.
Accent pillows are purely for decoration. The are colorful pieces to “accent” the decor.
"It's not at all like New Yawk! When you have Sex In The City with a different man (or woman) every night, you are an empowered woman. Out there in the sticks you are, as Rush Limbough (sic) says, 'a slut'. They permit SMOKING in restaurants and bars! You can't find a good grass fed lamb dog with arugala saurkraut on a pretzel dough bun served by a hipster in a food truck, either!"
OUR CITY'S MOTTO: "HOOTERVILLE NEEDS MORE HOOTERS!"
Eligon did find one group of single women that was happy about the gender-ratio situation: sex workers, who have flocked to the area after hearing about how much money they can make there. Then there was a recently divorced 31-year-old named Barbara Coughlin, who said she felt like she had to restrict her movements and her clothing choices to avoid attracting attention, and hopes to get out of Williston as soon as possible.“Will I stay for very long? Probably not,” she said. “To me, there’s no money in the world worth not even being able to take a walk.”
Maybe Coughlin, like so many young single women, will end up in a city, where she can wear all the skirts and glitter eyeliner she wants and no one will say boo about it. Sure, she might go a few days only talking to the deli guy, but for a lot of women, that trade-off is well worth it.
So, let me see what the XX writer lady is saying... a prostitute goes to rural America because it's a virtual goldmine and she's a lusty golddigger. Then she get offended that people think just because she's a painted whore in skirts and glitter eyeliner, that they can like, ogle her! HOW RUDE!
And what's wrong with being a "deli guy"? It's honest work. Or in rural America from a New Yawker perspective, is that Deli Goi?
To me, the article makes it sounds as though these women are unused to male attention. Hmmm....wonder why on earth that could be the case....
So-called feminists just sit in bars and talk about accent pillows with the pretty boys.
Candles! Candles! They’re all over the house, but G-d forbid the power goes out we can’t use any of them. (I’ve got to go rummaging in the basement to get out my emergency supply stuff).
That and baskets - but again I catch heck for dropping my keys and wallet into them.
My 100 lb. black Lab liked to chew the “accent pillows” when he was a pup - just like everything else he could get in his mouth. Now he’s like me - he just knocks the pillows off the couch so he can get comfy.
The young ladies and their “visitors” will keep the vehicle warm and toasty.
And get your patch oiled.
You win! :-)
Ha, ha, before our daughter married and left our home, she had clocks and artificial plants everywhere.
I must be missing some gene or other, because if the decorating were left to me, our house would probably look like poor Shakers lived here.
