Girls can be Manly, too

Honestly, I don't know why I decided to write this post.  I know that, as a young woman, I should strive to embrace my femininity.  But for some reason, I decided that I wanted to reflect on the ways that I can keep up with "the guys".

Things I have done that are manly:
- Changed oil in a lawn mover
- Ate a steak
- Mowed
- Watched football for five consecutive days during Thanksgiving break
- Opened a pickle jar for someone
- Push-started a truck
- Put a lamp together (I think I used the directions, though, so this probably doesn't count)
- Shot a [really cool] gun
- Tried the hottest barbecue sauce at Famous Dave's
- Ate a jalapeno

[And this just makes me laugh]

Shea:1 - Neeson:0

When Liam Neeson decides to become a C.S. Lewis ‘scholar” and say, “Aslan symbolises a Christlike figure, but he also symbolises for me Mohammed, Buddha and all the great spiritual leaders and prophets over the centuries,” and Mark Shea responds with, “All Neeson really means is, ‘Fellow members of the Chattering Classes:  I am one of you.  Do not ostracize me for doing something popular with despised and unpopular Christians, whom all right-thinking people treat as social lepers.  I will now say something blindly multicultural and indifferentist to establish my bona fides.  Come, let us eat wine and cheese together and make things as they always were,’” I laugh.
