Youtube sensation Emily Hartridge on why dogs are better than women



Jennifer Aniston once said she prefers dogs to men because they 'make better companions' and offer 'unconditional love'.

This week video blogger Emily Hartridge argues that four-legged friends are better than women too, in an online post that is sure to infuriate her army of female fans.

The controversial comic likes to cause a stir with her weekly diatribes and this provocative '10 reasons why' explores girls' most annoying habits from a man's point of view.

As well as comparing women and dogs as running partners ('Dogs never get tired, they are always right by your side and they always have so much energy') 28-year-old Emily explains that canines are a lot easier to live with generally as they don't spend their time hating their bodies, moaning about other girls and over analysing relationships.

But before her feminist fans get too upset Emily makes sure that we know she is simply poking fun at the differences between the sexes in her own wry way as she poses with a leash around her neck to illustrate reason number 10 ('It's legal to keep a dog chained up') ... at least, we hope she's joking.

If I see people raging in here over her saying this and they end up being same ones who were all Dogs > People in those awful Mindy threads, I'm goanna be in stitches.

that was so fucking stupid.
brucelynn 21st-Feb-2013 08:56 pm (UTC)
and to some extent frightening ..... some of the stuff that went on in there was just ... wow
lillylilacs 21st-Feb-2013 09:10 pm (UTC)
I would think this list was funny if it was just 10 reasons why dogs are better than people tbh, but focusing solely on women makes it misogynistic. These traits that she is poking fun at are just as common in men as women.

I hate "dogs (or animals) > people" people, but that's not relevant here. Because nuance exists.

Am I just lucky in having tons of female friends who aren't catty or insecure or whiny? Or do other people just suck?
dumpweeds 21st-Feb-2013 08:58 pm (UTC)
I feel like women being catty/insecure/whiny is mostly just a myth, tbh. it's just society's way of pitting us against each other.

(not saying that there aren't catty/insecure/whiny women, just that it happens a lot less than people complain about? idk ignore me)
hypnology 21st-Feb-2013 09:03 pm (UTC)
I think cattiness is exaggerated. Just because a friend and I fight doesn't mean we're being catty.
so_chic_doll 21st-Feb-2013 09:05 pm (UTC)
lol mte.

I've never had much of an issue getting along with other girls.
lillylilacs 21st-Feb-2013 09:12 pm (UTC)
I think most negative characteristics that people complain about all women sharing (like cattiness/drama) are just as common in men. It is all about who you choose to surround yourself with.

I'm half and half with mine.
colorzplosion 21st-Feb-2013 09:21 pm (UTC)
I think the people who accuse other females of being "catty & whiny" are probably the catty & whiny ones. generally, my female friends are more chill & understanding, while my male friends are more easily irritated & petty.
druggybridge 21st-Feb-2013 09:49 pm (UTC)
I only have one friend who fits that stereotype, but I don't really talk to her much anymore ever since she alienated me w/o telling me what I did wrong. The rest are pretty rad. :3
ladypolitik 22nd-Feb-2013 01:08 am (UTC)
You're not lucky; it's just that the whole "women are catty!" is some stupid stereotype people seem to draw primarily from shitty 80s sitcoms.

Women are fucking chill; men are the ones to look out for (women are most susceptible to being murdered/hurt after breaking up with men). We should reassess how we label groups of people as being wholesale "insecure/catty/possessive/psycho/brooding/what-fucking-ever".

There's just uptight people of both genders. They act a fool with equal opportunity.
laceleather 22nd-Feb-2013 04:04 am (UTC)
It's more like when men "talk shit" or gossip or whine, it's branded a discussion- he is simply speaking his opinion.
