Not Nice to Attack Girls with Your Balls: Dodgeball
I don't think I wrote about this, but last week I was in a Dodgeball tournament...I know, I know. Sounds dorky, and I was hoping it would be. But to my, and my all female teammate's surprise, we were the only girls there. With the exception of the two Dodgeball Cheerleaders, who were these annoying sluts dressed up in feather boas and fake eyelashes, drinking spiked Snapple from the bottle. The rest of the teams were basically your average I-banker/Hedgefund/Murray hill/Upper East Side frat boy type. We thought they'd cut us some slack because we were "cute". But no...We got burned. And bruised. Our only saving grace was Kate, who single-handedly beat an entire team of brawny guys with her killer arm and quick feet. Read about it:

My dad says that the reason the guys were so hard on us, was that they were merely displacing their aggression against females in a socially acceptable way. Is it acceptable to haul a ball at my ass when I am turned the other way? And then, afterwards, complain that I'm "being mean" when the boy who threw that ball tries to hit on me and I just scowl and walk away? Hm....

"I-banker/Hedgefund/Murray hill/Upper East Side frat boy type."

i can imagine the shouts of "MVP" must've been something else for kate. way to go.

These people sound like A-holes, no matter what they'd get up to. Professional Dodgeball, kinda makes me chuckle.
I am being judgemental, sure, but these bullies are aggressive to anyone who isn't stronger than they are. Otherwise, they link the stronger person's boots.
Classic Fascism. Is this whom the New York girls all swoon over?
