Top 10 Worst Things to Happen to Women This Millennium


10. Uggs

As Hugo Schwyzer points out, women’s fashion isn’t meant to be about what guys want to see; it’s about what women want to wear. And that’s how it should be. But that doesn’t mean we can’t whinge about the nauseating popularity and transcendent ugliness of Uggs. You want to wear something comfortable? OK, we’re guys, we understand—but how about a pair of sneakers?

  1. “This Millennium” means from Jan. 1, 2001 to the present. It doesn’t mean going back to 1000 AD.

    I don’t mind seeing Uggs on young women. Where I live the boots are often worn with tight black leggings that are quite flattering.

    It’s so illogical that we still can’t even say the word “vagina,” and so many women still cannot stand to look at their own vaginas, and yet they’re now expected to decorate it with rhinestones. We demand that it look perfectly fabulous but we still won’t look at it. Say what?

    • John Anderson says:

      Except for shaving, I’ve always preferred the natural look when it comes to vaginas, no piercings, no jewelry. I’m not a fan of FGC, but if an adult woman wants a designer vagina, it should be her right.

    • Rain Dizzle says:

      What’s illogical is that there isnt a word that encompasses the whole female genitalia that isnt childish or obscene. It’s not just a vagina down there, but that’s what we end up saying, though what we really mean is something far greater, more complex, and with more parts.

  2. I’ve changed my mind. The number 1 thing hurting women – as well as men, teens, children, and even babies – this millennium is unregulated crony capitalism. We have thousands of Baby Boomers who are one missed light bill away from being tossed on the streets, people committing suicide left and right since they lost their jobs, college grads drowning in debt and unable to find work even at McDonald’s, and millions unemployed and in misery. If you can afford to buy Axe Body Spray (or even care about it), you are one of the privileged.

    • Julie Gillis says:

      I like you max

    • Cranky Chris says:

      Max, but when you say crony capitalism, you’re talking about an abstract “thing”. What is the thing that is making “crony capitalism” possible? Who are the people that are making this thing possible?

      The answer is government. Because when you say crony….of WHAT is any bad actor in this thing a crony of? And the answer is the State….every time.

      So don’t dance around it; the worst thing to happen to anyone this millennium is the State.

  3. Those boots are so comfortable though…why do men dislike them?

  4. RedRider says:

    I love that although I’m a woman, I agree wholeheartedly with the list of the 10 worst things to happen to women, yet I largely disagree with the list of the worst things to happen to men.

    Good job Good Men.

  5. I think “grow a pair” has been directed towards men a helluva lot more. In fact, I’ve often heard it directed towards male victims of domestic abuse.

  6. wellokaythen says:

    Oh, when you say “women” you mean American women with a bit of disposable income. I kept thinking “women” meant, like, all women. Silly me.

    If it’s about women globally, I’d say the clitorectomy is a pretty frickin’ bad thing to happen to women. That whole female genital mutilation thing sounds top-ten worthy to me. You’re goddam lucky if your big cultural problem with vulva is that there are annoyingly cute words for it….

  7. A “vajayjay” is cute and furry? Isn’t that Haironormative? Why the shave-shaming?

    I’ll show myself out.

  8. happens all the time.
