Builders' Little Apprentice

	posted by Matt on 12:33 PM February 3rd, 2005
	Now this is definitely one for Humor: This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little girl and a group of building workers. It's allegedly true and makes you want to believe in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race. Click "Read more..." for the rest.

	A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant building plot. One day Willie Brunsden and a gang of building workers turned up to start building a house on the empty plot. The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers. She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account. When they got to the bank the cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she had a 'pay packet'. "You must have worked very hard to earn all this" said the bank cashier. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last week with the men building a big house." "My goodness gracious," said the cashier, "Will you be working on the house again this week, as well?" The little girl thought for a moment and said, "I think so. Provided those c*nts at Jewson deliver the f*cking bricks".

Especially c*nt, a word that demeans women's genitalia. I thought the whole thing was precious until that. Good thing you posted it. All you men should be very proud of that!!

Re: More feminist double standards.

Only cunt is a problem, no-one seems to mind prick, dick-head, and the many variations.   In the UK, 'bollocks' (i.e. testicles) is universally used to denote bullshit or nonsense.   Then there is the question of masturbation. 'Wanker' and 'jerkoff' are perfectly acceptable expressions. This is only because they are never applied to women. Surely they demean men's sexuality? It's also interesting to consider American prison rape-derived slang. A 'punk' is a prison sex-slave or serial gang-rape victim. Some men are 'cool', but others 'suck', literally.   It's funny how you never hear feminists complaining about these gender-specific insults, isn't it? Do I detect that familiar stench of self-serving hypocrisy? I think I do. Feminism will continue as long as there is money to be made from hating men.

You call yourself 'humanitarian'? What do you have to say about the sexual torture of male prisoners by female guards at Guantanamo Bay for example? I suppose that's perfectly OK, just as long as they don't use naughty words. Feminism will continue as long as there is money to be made from hating men.

Are you sure you're a card carrying feminist? (Score:2) by Clancy (long_ponytail@yahoo.com) on 12:35 PM February 4th, 2005 EST (#7) Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the main points in the "Vagina Monologues" was the reclamation of the word "cunt" to mean something good. If I recall, the word cunt was bandied about like a tennis ball after one particular performance in which there were many *ahem* female type feminist "dignitaries" present. "Look at me, I've got a CUNT!" Does anyone remember an anti-smoking campaign whose main slogan was "Don't be a Dick"? I think that in the true sense of feminist equality there should have been a equally offensive commercial with an equally offensive slogan "Don't be a Cunt". I would think that as part of a women's studies course, it would be mandatory to go and see the "Vagina Monologues" at least 10 times (a la Star Wars. But, instead of dressing like Darth Vader, all attendees would dress as Darth Labia). Then, all degreed feminists would know that "it's OK to say CUNT, girls."
