Lying is The Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off
Firstly, I’d like to thank Panic! At the Disco for conjuring up one of the best song titles in history. Or at least I’ve thought that for years. If you can’t praise them for their music, at least acknowledge their amazing talent at writing song titles. I happen to admire both, but that’s neither here nor there and also — you didn’t ask.
I chose this title because when I first read this I was both offended and amused at yet another jab at womanhood. At the time (I was 13) I hated the fact that I was a girl. I was very critical of my and others’ womanhood and what was unanimously proclaimed as womanhood.
To this day I am also embarrassed — heavily — by the implication of “the woman”, how people on all the spectrum interpret our gender, and more importantly how our gender as a whole maneuvers all those implications, interpretations and expectations.
The Woman as The Source of Evil
I went to catholic school for 6 years.
There. Article over. Make your assumptions and leave.
Just kidding — hopefully you stayed and go on this little journey with me.
