Shit Women Say

Posted on the 14 January 2012 by M0derngirl @M0DDERNGIRL
I have wedding stuff and working out stuff to blog about, but I'm honestly pretty busy with job applications and teaching my course and analyzing my thesis. To summarize, wedding stuff: crazy, but getting there. Thankfully still having the clarity of mind to put relationships and people's feelings before delusional idealism about a "magical day." Working out stuff: I love my fitbit, and went to some crazy awesome gym classes this week, and tried and indoor track too.
If you want any more detail than that, you're going to need to get it from Shit Girls Say (or Shit Women Say).
To be clear, I don't like sexism, I don't like ploys or gags that belittle one gender. But I honestly don't think the Shit Girls Say qualifies. It just launched last month and was pretty much just a sociological review of trite and meaningless phrases that come of out women. A nice little video of overused cliches. Almost a qualitative content analysis of language patterns.
Here's the original:

See, now wasn't that fun? Me and my circle of friends use other types of phrases like "dude!" and "awesome!" but I still think that was a neato idea for a video. There's been other "episodes" since that, and lots of parodies and spin offs. Some spin-offs take things into sexist territory, but some are also tasteful.
A friend just posted "Shit Brides Say" on facebook this morning:

Thankfully, I don't feel like I have much in common with those brides (yeah!) and that wasn't that particularly funny to me.
However, I found the next one to be hilarious. I've watched it like 4 times. It's "Shit Women Say to Personal Trainers"

I am definitely guilty of a few of those,
"I feel like I gotta go pee!"
"I just want to be healthy"
"Mushrooms are like a fungus!"
"I'm exercising and I'm eating well, but NOTHING is happening."
If you have started watching these videos, let me know which one is your favorite.
And I'm now I'm counting down the hours 'til Mario Kart Marathon! (things geeks do on Saturday nights).
