Today I'm grateful
for equal rights.

In the 1960’s our fore-mothers brought attention to the issue of equal rights by burning their bras. To make sure these ladies didn’t toast their Madenform’s in vain, we must do whatever we can to insure men and women are treated equally in the workplace. That’s why I support the Shady Lady Brothel’s decision to hire a male prostitute – or “prostitdude” as I’d like to call him.

I’m not exactly sure how the whole guy hooker thing is going to work, but if he wants to prance around in clear heels and a pink feather boa, more power to him. I’m not making any judgments, but I can guarantee I’ll never hire guy to have sex with me (it’s not because I’m against prostitution, it just that I’m too cheap.) I’m not going to pay for something I can get for free. Hell, that's like taking a loss in my book--I usually get at least dinner and drinks out of the deal.

If this male prostitution thing takes off I can’t see it changing the status quo much, other than they may have to change the brothel’s name to the Shady Laddy. I’m grateful for equal rights because if guys are ready to be real life Deuce Bigalow’s, I’m ready to watch the documentary on HBO (you just know they’ve already inked a deal.) Men and women should have equal opportunities in the workplace because what’s good for the goose is good for the gander… no wait, what’s good for the gander is good for the goose, no…if a girl wants to take a gander at a guy’s goose…never mind.

That’s why I’m grateful for equal rights.




Forget about rainbows and unicorns, I’m grateful for double martinis, single men and pretty much anything covered in chocolate or cheese. This gratitude journal is anonymous because the stuff that tends to fall out of my head and land on the page makes HR departments cringe -- and guys lose my number.
