Wow...I mean...wow. Seriously, those are really gross/interesting reads.

And about the first one, I'm sooo glad I'm not invited to that party. And if I were, I'd send the invitation back.

I couldn't finish reading the 1st story. Men can have all the sex they want, but if women do it they're spoiled *shudder* I was amused to read that the Bush twins are apart of this preppy sex and drinking club. I guess as long as they're daddy's darlings they can have all of the sex they want and have protection, but if all of those "low/middle-class" girls want to have sex, tough break. No birth control for them.

As for the second story...eww. What is it with Republicans speaking out agaisnt sex and then doing completely crude and inappropriate things? I would really like to know how they justify this behavior.

I emailed the first story to Jessica yesterday. Maybe she forwarded it to you? Anyway, my boyfriend and I read it together and it seriously had our stomachs turning. I live in Northern Virginia and work in Georgetown. I NEVER go out in Georgetown, however, and those assholes are the reason why. They are the epitome of the phrase, "born on third base and thinks (s)he hit a triple."
What's funny is there's a shitstorm a-brewin' re: the article and the snots are crying foul. Check it out at Wonkette.

Well, denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I might have to work my ass off for my money, but I sure am glad that I'm not a rich asshole. I honestly pity these people.

I never EVER go out in Georgetown, or most of DC, for this very reason. I'm happy to stay at home in Northern VA. You can't walk 10 feet without running into a cab full of cordoroy blazer-wearing trust fund babies and their busty orange-skinned bleach blond counterparts.

I know, Magpie. They're insufferable. Northern Virginia all the way. Or my couch.

:shudder:
the worst and dumbest catcalls i ever got was in georgetown. most were really mean and nasty cuz im punk, and those men are seriously afraid of any woman who deviates from there norm [and any woman who doesnt look like shed immediately do whatever they said]
on the plus side, i did puke on some frat boy/yuppies shoes when i was 11 in georgetown. hahaa

I have to say, if all their possible conquests could see their opinions the Darwinian results could only help mankind. Personkind?

Yeah . . . I pretty much want to punch every single one of those guys in the face.

All I could think of reading that crap is that bar they all go to would be the most wonderful place to begin a military draft. All those young people just brimming with talent and energy.

Neutering for Republicans

It's Not Just A Good Idea

It's The Law!

[or at least it should be!]

The scariest thing about that article is that comment section, read it and see the between the lines threats pore in.

As entertaining as "Members Only" was to read, why do people still pay attention to conservative preppies? They were just as rotten 25 years ago, so what's the point? We all know they have nothing to contribute to society...it's just when something like this comes out that I'm reminded they still even actually exist.

As I stated in another thread, I cannot spare any pity for girls who would date/hook up with this kind of guy. I get the impression that natural selection within this social group will eventually create women with giant silicone boobs (already in the DNA) on a stick with no hips, and a combination vagina/anus, so that anal sex is never an issue. She will also have straight, big, bleached blond/highlighted hair, and baby diarrhea orange skin, with the caveat that it was *once* white.

Yet another reason to love Wonkette...

oh, I forgot about this gem of a quote:

"Sex just isn’t something girls should be doing if they are interested in marrying me."

LOLs all around!!

Jane Minty, it's so fucked up that the women in that group put up with the men. They know they're despised as women.
I guess when you grow surrounded by a certain type of person, that's all you know and all you're comfortable with.
There was one quote that said something along the lines of,
"When guys get laid it's an accomplishment; when girls do it's a disaster."
Hey, girls! You could be hanging out with people who wouldn't shame you for having sex!

This cracked my shit up:

"He says LNS members aren’t judgmental. They just want to network with compatible new friends.

'People who dress like they just got off a Cancun party boat,' he tells me, referring to the dreaded turbo, 'are not the type of people I want to associate with, especially as I transition into full adulthood.'"

I cannot believe there are people who talk like this who are not fictional villains in a 1985 Judd Nelson movie. I wish I worked with this guy; I would never lack for entertainment.

JaneMinty beat me to it but yeah, that line stuck out to me as well. One of the guys who likes his vaginas to come factory sealed. Thank god they're way over there and I'm way over here.

I'm assuming that the "girls shouldn't have sex" guys are all saving themselves till marriage, correct?

Another thing that stuck out to me besides the age-old double standard was ms. "if you're above a size 4, you need to lose weight." She's right though. People don't have different frames, or anything. Everyone is meant to be a size 0. If your fat ass can't fit into a 4 or smaller, don't talk to me until you can.

My boyfriend (who looooves making fun of the popped-collar crowd... though now they claim popped-collars are out. Anyway...) was like, "I'd love to see their reaction if they somehow stumbled into Northeast. Or, god forbid, Southeast."

The attitude of those guys in the Members Only article is exactly why I don't go to bars in Georgetown. I'm not into snobby, judgemental guys who expect that a $9 cocktail and twenty minutes of conversation mean they deserve sexual favors. I'm actually rather glad that they encourage others within their little online clique to stay away from Adams Morgan--I'll be sure not to run into them when I go out there!

What Jane Minty said: yeah, it's disgusting, but is anybody surprised that post-frat preppies are boring assholes in their personal lives just as in politics and everything else they do?

And yeah, I stay the hell away from Georgetown at night too.

I'm actually rather glad that they encourage others within their little online clique to stay away from Adams Morgan

I know, right? I rarely even go out in Adams Morgan, but I'd much rather party there than in G-town. It's so funny that they think AM is 'ghetto' or whatever they called it. So many 'Ethiopians!'

And before I head out, if any of you non-elitist ladies in the D.C. Metro area want to start a staying-inside-to-read-and-watch-movies club I'm game.

That first article reminds me of this comic: http://tinyurl.com/ycw8wv

What is more of a travesty is that these trust fund babies with a false sense of entitlement are going to be tomorrow's politicians and business leaders. America is headed straight to hell and these kids are driving the bus.

I agree with what Jeremy F said. These kids will soon run the country. Right into the ground. Elitist, trust fund baby assholes abound in NOVA and G-town. Ugh.

I stopped reading the Washington City Paper after this misogynistic tripe they published in November.

And add me in to the "staying home and reading/watching movies in NoVa group" too! Actually I want to get started in a feminist writing group - anyone interested/know of one in DC (one that's metro-accessible)? If you do, shoot me an email at soupcann314[at]yahoo[dot]com.

To SarahMC, every weekend is my "staying-inside-to-read-and-watch-movies club" in my little slice of NOVA. Interested parties with wine and snacks are always welcome.

Thanks for saying that, UltraMagnus! I don't even understand that woman's point in trying to say she was "mis-quoted." Because then she went on to say she really meant that any one above a size 6 could stand to tone up. Grr. People like her are obviously very unhappy with themselves not being perfect that they have to go on and criticize other people for not being so either. I'm a size 12 trying to go back down to a 10 or an 8, but I can guarentee that I will NOT be going below and 8. Sorry, but I love my wide hips and big ass, and I have no desire to be smaller than my shape and bone structure can even allow.

OMG, soupcann314, that article you cited just further fueled my disgust... "pull a Scott Peterson"... wtf?!!!

ROFL at the "courage cup," the polo match in Virginia that raises money to teach disadvantaged D.C. youths to play polo.
Mentioned way down toward the bottom of the "Members Only" article. These are the kind of "charity" events these people pat themselves on the back for organizing, while few to none of them would ever be caught dead in one of the inner-city neighborhoods where those children live.
So hilariously insular.

Just flash froward their life 15 years when, like most cocky republicans, they'll be just out of their third marriage with kids who won't talk to them, child support/alimony payments in the many thousands and the only people who will have sex them only take cash.

Of course they will still think people are jealous of them and will wax poetically about their superior family values. That is until alcoholism drives them to an early death.

I'm amazed at two things when reading this article. One, it's hard to believe that people like this really exist. Two, these guys are so laughably wannabes in terms of being wealthy and influential. The very essence of the snobbery of the truly influential and wealthy is quiet discretion. Such as those would never openly critique someone's clothing or taste to their face, for example.

Wowee, soupcann! That is one terrifyingly souless and desperate piece of writing!

I live in Charleston (SC), and before I moved down here I was surprised that people like that exist in large numbers. But we've got TONS of those types of guys, complete with palmetto-moon croakies and extra douchbaggery. I've never found the look attractive (partly because that's how my GRANDFATHER dresses). I could probably forgive the old golfer fashion if they weren't such elitist jerks.

And that second article makes me ashamed for my native state. yeugh.

Yeah, so I live in NYC, and like everybody else living in NYC, I like to talk about how much I hate hipsters, when in fact, I am one.

However, these fucktards (who are just the hipsters of DC) make me want to jump on the next L train to Williamsburg and start giving blow jobs to everybody. I mean really, the skinny-jeans + vintage-ironic-tshirt crowd look like Jesus compared to these assholes. At least our hipsters sometimes pretend to be liberal, and if you're really lucky, feminist.

Hi ladies,
I am living in Gaithersburg (soon Rockville), and would love to join a cheese and wine consuming movie and book club. My e-mail is LivLioness (at) yahooooooo!

But corresponding to that life story, they'll be our Congress.

I stopped reading the Washington City Paper after this misogynistic tripe they published in November.

That article is clearly a cautionary tale to men with the moral being that there's more to life than getting laid. The narrator continuously talks about how miserable he is and eventually gives up in frustration. It's a warning to all would-be seducers that it's not as rewarding as you think.

Yeah Doug, but the reason that seducing a bunch of women is "not that rewarding" is because(according to the article), women are selfish, crazy, stupid, self-centered, gold-digging, boring, bitchy, predictable, and, of course, sluts. The article was incredibly misogynistic, no matter what the author was trying to express.

Honestly, when I read this article, I thought, "Thank god for Late Night Shots." I think it's fabulous that these people have not only clearly identified themselves and their beliefs but also where they're going to be on most evenings.

It makes it much, much easier to stay away.

Thank god adulthood isn't like high school and you can avoid cliques of people you don't like fairly easily.

When I first read this article, I really expected to be disgusted. Instead, I came away thinking "Thank God for Late Night Shots." Not only have these people identified themselves and their beliefs, but they've also self-segregated and warned me as to their whereabouts.

That makes it much, much, much easier to avoid them.

Thank you Late Night Shots.

Did that Washington City Paper article remind anyone else of that Feigning Interest video that was up a few weeks ago?

Our future leaders, in all their glory. God, I can't stand Republicans.

As an occasional reader of Wonkette, I was aware these troglodytes existed prior to reading the article, and pretty much knew what to expect from them.
I quite enjoyed the comments, though--nothing's funnier than watching an elitist entitled asshole protest being called an elitist entitled asshole using elitist entitled asshole arguments.
Sheer hilarity.
