not funny

I can't remember if I've blogged about this before but I'm going to blog about it now. Every now and then I would catch a license plate frame that pronounced,

"If you're going to ride my ass at least pull my hair".

Recently I've seen this license plate frame more often. Most likely this line is meant to be humorous but I see it as an endorsement of humiliation and dominance. Pretty simple. Perhaps the owners of these plate frames are attempting to be sassy and alluring but in my mind they are placing themselves in a submissive role. Yeah, they might like it rough...or maybe they just like talking the talk...but either way I find this to be a cheap celebration of patriarchal thinking.
