Super Woman Saturday

Hey Doms,

As most of you guys know, I'm a feminist, and by that I mean I "advocate social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men." I don't hate men. That's not feminism, that's chauvinism. But I really love to see women beat men, especially in traditionally all male competitions. Let's take a look at a few great women.

Danica Patrick is the first woman to win an IndyCar race. She won first place last Sunday in the Japan 300. Seriously, how great is that? Before this, she'd been plauged with questions of when she was going to actually win (and sexist remarks by her competitors). She was even awarded rookie of the year, without winning any races. Many wondered if her popularity was based on her attractiveness (similar to Anna Kournikova, who never really won anything.) I could see where people might get that, since she's really hot:

But this woman kicks some ass! Thanks Danica!
Note: Danica will be racing tomorrow at the Kansas Speedway. Let's all root for her!

In the music world, I've listened to a lot of great bands. There have been times when I've told people to listen to certain bands and was then told "I don't listen to chick bands." Honestly, I wouldn't have a problem with that if it'd only happened once or twice, but I've gotten it a lot, and it's not something I understand. It's not like they're rejecting a genre, such as opra or rap, they're rejecting a huge chunk of incredibly great music based on the fact that the band members have a vagina, and that makes no sense to me. Anyway, to get away from my ranting (which could go on for hours if I let it), I'll just post a great band, and let you have at it.

Any of you that have ridden in my car will have heard this band, because I love them that damn much:
Magneta Lane

These girls aren't super famous (They should be...), but they did get signed after only a year of being together. I know that no matter how much I rant and rave, their music will do a better job of selling it, so just click on the link above their picture and take a peak at their myspace.

Well, I've got an art project to finish. I'll be back Monday.

Love,
Slayre
