I have this feeling that tomorrow theme might end up being one of my favorites I’ve ever done.

Girl Reading by Alfred Émile Stevens

The text is the last paragraph of one of my favorite articles entitled: You Should Date an Illiterate Girl by Charles Warnke

While I certainly haven’t read the article, due to this excerpt, here are a few things I would say to Charles Warnke:

1. Blaming women for your lack of character is not charming.

2. Idealizing women who read, therefore making you feel inferior is not charming.

3. Coldplay makes me feel more positivity than this passage.

4. I read because I want to read, because art provokes thought and thought provokes insight. I do not read because I am thinking about romance.

5. Maybe you should read a book and work on yourself before you begin to think that it’s okay to blame well-read women for your character flaws.

What the lady said. Also:  #manchildren

Sounds like someone is bitter and wants a relationship handed to him, as opposed to working for one. 

I have to reblog myself because I feel the need to clarify something so here goes.

 Why don’t you try READING the entire article before you judge based on this one paragraph?

It is called SATIRE. It is not meant to be taken so seriously. To all of you who have gone off the deep end you look silly. (*cough* ^ ^ ^ *cough*)

I linked the article for a reason. Go read it and then complain: http://actmind.net/blog/2011/02/you-should-date-an-illiterate-girl-charles-warnke/

I thought this was lovely. maybe the people getting so worked up should do a little bit more reading???
