GOP State Senator Will Teach Brooklyn Women To Act Like Ladies!

Women of Brooklyn, New York, State Senator Marty Golden (R) wants to turn you into proper ladies fit for employment.

As part of a summer series on career development directed at his female constituents, Golden is hosting a taxpayer-funded event called “Posture, Deportment and the Feminine Presence” on July 24. Golden promises to teach Bay Ridge women “the art of feminine presence,” which includes tips on how to “sit, stand and walk like a model” and “walk up and down a stair elegantly”:

would lead me to think they do act like ladies.

I guess he missed that part of Brooklyn?

Crown Heights also comes in mind.

I thought this was an "old" ad... can't believe someone would actually put this in print today!

Hmmmm - my son is in NY for the month - along with a whole bunch of friends - most of whom are of the female persuasion. I wonder if he'd want to take a trip over to brooklyn. . .

I know how to act like a lady. I would just much rather not. If people think I am unladylike, that is their problem not mine.

Good God....Senator Golden can go fuck himself. Of course, I mean that in only the most ladylike way.

The only thing that would be more fun would be to actually infiltrate, and show him some REAL feminine presence!

has mastered "the art of being a douche bag" right along with his mastery of "the art of the feminine presence." LOL!

Enough said?

No? Read about her Here.

Or in Stieg Larsson's books or the Swedish movies that tell Salander's story in Larsson's Millennium Trilogy which has to be a feminist bombshell.

Go for it.

I was taught not to give a "dead fish" handshake but perhaps that's not very ladylike?
