So in my English class you have to participate and speak your opinion about things in order to earn points for attendance. We're discussing a book called A Distant Shore By Caryl Phillips (Who is a man, who the fck name's their son Caryl? I mean - I'm thinking Ca-roll but maybe it's Car-aisle. But then again boys are named Stacey too.) We come to a portion of the book in which the main character Dorothy, a 55 year old single female, is sleeping around with younger men and one of the classmates commented on her as being a "Cougar (on the prowl)."
Mind you I try to participate and give my honest opinion on things.
And so forth went the class:
Teacher: It's funny that society would do that. We again see a double standard in which Dorothy who sleeps around with men who are 10, 15 years younger than her is considered a cougar, however, if a man were to do the same thing with a younger woman he would be.....hmm......what do you guys think?
(5 or so seconds of silence)
Me: Awesome.
(Males and some females in class laugh)
(The rest in class glare and raise hands)
No harm done really.

haha i'm impressed u were able to stay awake during class
The word, "cougar" is really offensive. I just don't understand why it's fine for men to go out with younger women, but it can't go the other way around.
There are actually a lot of names that fall in the "ambiguous" or unisex territory. Leslie, Stacey, Nancy, Lindsey, Evelyn are some examples.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
just picturing that in my head made me laugh.
I would have liver kicked all the people that glared at me.
