Man gives birth? Yep. Soon. Read this personal story from Thomas Beatie — a “transgender, legally male, and legally married” man who is going to give birth to a baby girl in a couple months. As the pregnant man from Oregon explains in an essay in the Advocate, he and his wife Nancy are expecting a child. (Pssst! The couple went on Oprah, so you can check out pictures over there.
But, enough about that. Yesterday, after writing about Anderson Cooper and David Beckham, I totally arrived with towels today, ready to wipe the drool off my computer. But, whoa, NO women commented on the post. Because I’m a neurotic person who spends waaaay too much time overthinking stuff in life, it made me wonder: Where the Women At (WWA)? It would be interesting to know how many of y’all out there reading this are men, how many are women and how many are something else in between. Sooooo, I figure I can use the comments section to take a census. If you don’t mind, it’s head count time. :) Tell me: Are you male or female? Go.
{ 33 comments… read them below or add one }
Female!! And I would have made a comment on the last post, but I just read it two minutes ago, and then got lost trying to find the video, because the embedded one didn’t work (and neither did the one on Gawker). BOOOOOOOO! I wanna see me some hot men talking about goldenballs and I wanna see it NOW!! ;o)
Thanks for the eye candy, FBC. I know I can always get my fix here!
Female. I don’t always have time to read posts, [especially if I have to click elsewhere to find what you wrote] so I, too, missed the Coop-Beck-stravaganza until just now.
I am a man…a manly man by all accounts…However, I still get hit on by quite a few gay men =/
Female here; I didn’t comment because I’m in the minority here- I really could care less about Beckham and/or Cooper… they don’t churn my butter, know what I mean? So I read the post and watched the clip, and was like, “eh, that was nice”
:)
since a very lovely woman called me …” Dude “… then I
am Man….. and am into sports…. but lean closer to F1 racing…. soccer and me…. well … that was something
one had to do if one is sent to visit their relatives who
reside in Barbados….. lots of running and kicking and a
very good way to meet the ladies of the isle….. so … I do
see the wonderfulness of following the adventures of
the Beck… et al….
and … to me… that would be a wonderland for the ladies who may not follow the game but will follow
what’s in the shorts…..
lamesabassman…… Party on, babe
Awww, please don’t make me choose! =*(
then … dont…. whatever gets you thru the night…. is
alright….
it’s your own private Idaho….. dig in….
and it’s NOBODY’S biz …. but yours….
lamesabassman….. America…. whatta country…
I am female…I did not comment yesterday because I did not read the post. Anderson Cooper is one of the most handsome men on TV! Beckham is just manly and such a casual sexy. I love him.
I’m a bird. A boy bird.
By the by, about your question “Where the women at?” – up until I met Mrs. Doodlius (several years ago) I asked that very same question every day.
Female. Didn’t see the videos.. work and all… just read your blogs that come up on my google reader. Never read the Nerve stuff, but I’m always curious (damn work).
Female, but you already knew that. The only comment I could think of was that my husband thinks my cousin Matt looks like Anderson Cooper, and that’s just not that interesting.
Female here!
Becks is hot.
I’ve found that Google Reader led to less commenting. I’ll have to rectify that.
I’m a man…and I too get hit on by quite a few gay men…
…still not exactly sure what to think about that. I guess I’ll take it as a compliment thou…
I am a woman. But I tend to do once a week drivebys on your site, so I hadn’t gotten to the entry yet! LOL
Darlin’, if you need me to tell you what sex I am, then you’ve got a serious problem.
gee…. you had to ask that one most personal of personals…. but I guess that,at times, it’s good to know
just where the flow goes…….
but…. please dont ask the second most personal of personals…… K……
’cause my heart could’nt take it….
lamesabassman….. yes.. on occasion… I do blush..
female!
i’m not a conservative person but i don’t approve a “men” being pregnant. with all the hormones he took, i’m afraid for the genetics of the child. and after the birth, i’m concearned with the mental health. the father is the mother?
Female, though I thought both men were lickably pretty they didn’t really float my boat
Male, just stumbled on this site by accident, been reading for a few days. .Kind of like it here..
Girly girl here!
I don’t comment often (I blame Bloglines), but I love reading your posts. Cooper is cute. Beckham is damned sexy (Until he opens his mouth, that is. Such a disappointment!)
p.s. thank you for the Thank You card – how sweet & thoughtful! This is why people love you.
Female! I read all the posts via Google Reader but since I do it whilst at work, I don’t comment as often!
I’m a man. Not gay, but can see that both Cooper and Beckham are hot. Didn’t really comment because it’s kind of boring to spend so much time talking about how attractive highly-paid celebrities are, since every other media outlet spends so much time doing the same thing. What I really enjoy are your own personal stories and adventures at events like SXSW.
and… thanks for the card….. soooo cool
but … dont you want to really know just what that
second personal ? is……
lamesabassman….. it’s real easy… if ya put ya mind to it
Despite my moniker, this EBP is a woman — but you knew that, too! Yes, I loved the card as well. Hoops & Yoyo are my favorites!
Chick here! Just came across your site–love it. Stay bitey!
Female.
@ AmyD: The embedded one didn’t work? :( And, yes, I’m always happy to supply folks with eyecandy.
@ Rachel: Hmm, I see a trend here. Y’all don’t like it when I send you some place else. Mental note taken.
@ dkzone & Brandon: Y’all are lucky that you get hit on by men! :) I like getting hit on by men. :)
@ The Jaded NYer: What?!?!?! You’re not a fan of Beckham *OR* The Coop?!?!?! :)
@ lamesabassman: I’m partying!
@ Aka “Paul”: You’re funny! :)
@ Shanshilly: Thanks for standing and being counting among the Coop lovers.
@ Baba Doodlius: I ask myself, “Where the men at everyday!”
@ Lurker: Oooooh! I *LOVE* it when the lurkers speak up!
@ Pegs: That’s *EXTREMEMLY* interesting. Where does this cousin this? Will he be around the next time I come home for a visit? ;)
@ Meeks: Thanks, babes! :)
@ HQ: Ok. :)
@ grampa: Wait … You’re the hermaphrodite, right? ;)
@ Carolina Pereira: Yep! The father is the mother. It will be interesting to see how this continues to play out in the health care system.
@ Josie: [Gasp!] They don’t float your boat? :(
@ don: YAY!!! Glad to have you. Stick around and poke through the archives if you’d like to get idea about the stuff I write about. Welcome to the funky brown!! :)
@ haze: Yeah, I’m not a fan of his voice, but he’s still a sexy bitch. :) No prob about the card; glad you like it.
@ Darwin: Curses on Google reader!!! :)
@ Christopher: Thanks for the feedback!! :) I really appreciate it. I’ve been dying to write about the next Manly Monday guy (a celebrity), but you inspired me to give a bit of backstory; hence, the Friday post about soccer. A muse, you are! :)
@ The Original B.R.O.: Hoops & Yoyo are rock stars!
@ Erin: YAY!!! Welcome to the blog!
@ Desiree: :)
I thought I did reply. Ahh the machine’s acting funky lately. I am woman, hear me roar…to quote Miss Helen Reddy. I think Anderson Cooper is delicious, but Becks, eh, he’s ok.
Love the site.
OG
THANKS!!! Glad you like the site. Hmmm … sounds like folks like The Coop more than Becks. Gay’s the new hot. ;)
Male here!
The photo spread last year in W Mag with Beckham and Posh was hot…..that is a 3some I would want to be in.
I agree he rocks the ink well!
He is a VERY attractive man.
Superb blog, numerous fascinating information. I remember 7 of days ago, I have visited a similar blog.
Hey, had some issues with it showing up first in firefox but after refresh all was good
