September 6, 2009“Geography of a Woman” is both refreshing and tainted

Filed under: Poison Phrase of the Week by merylrunion |

I received an email about the “geography of a woman” that is refreshing in the way it frames every age group of women in a positive, appreciative way. Living in a world that only seems to value perpetual youth, it’s nice to be reminded that each age has its own beauty.

Then it applies the same format to men, and basically reduces maleness to its lowest common denominator.

Yes, its amusing – but just because women have traditionally been viewed in limited ways doesn’t mean that it’s useful or justified to do the same to men now that women have expanded our scope. Poison is poison no matter who promotes it.

The post is below.

GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN

Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa. Half discovered, half wild, fertile and naturally beautiful!

Between 23 and 30, a woman is like Europe. Well developed and open to trade, especially for someone of real value.

Between 31 and 35, a woman is like Spain, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40, a woman is like Greece, gently aging but still a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain, with a glorious and all conquering past.

Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Israel, has been through war, doesn’t make the same mistakes twice, takes care of business.

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Canada, self-preserving, but open to meeting new people.

After 70, she becomes Tibet. Wildly beautiful, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages….

An adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN
Between 1 and 80, a man is like Iran, ruled by nuts.

Update: There are less gracious versions circulating the internet. I’m glad I saw the more positive version first!
