"Girls can't be straight edge"

I've been seeing this all over the place.

I got curious and started researching it, but I haven't been able to find anything good...just a lot of people saying "sXe is a man's sport" and not backing it up.

Does anyone know what the justification is? I'm so confused.

thats pretty lame. i personally am border line alcoholic & could never do that shit..but still - wtf?

I don't even know why anyone would want to be sXe in the first place...

I believe the justification is that men are retarded while women are just insane.

I've never heard this.

I don't see why being straight edge would be a guy thing.

Hmm. I'm curious now, too.

Cause us guys are fucking stoopid and when something gets competetive we seem to take it too fucking seriously...I don't understand the idea of being straight edge in the first place...Whats the point? What the fuck does it acomplish besides building up massive amounts of agression, that a good spliff could take care of in five minutes, and going to a shitty "hardcore" show and beating the shit out of the first person who gets in your way?

No.

The only edge people I know are underage, anyway.

True 'til college!

I odn't even know why straight-edgness matters at all, so why it would be gender-specific is just one more degree of confusion for me on the subject.

Those crazy teen-age whack-jobs! What crazy hilarity will they come up with next?

Is there a movement where people do nothing but drugs, booze and casual sex ? Cause I'd be all for getting a 'Y' tattooed on my arm. If thats all it takes to show my support for a movement that would make infinitely better music ?

Yeah, we could call it the nonsense brigade.. it'd be great, we could go out to gigs and clubs and if we found anyone who wasn't off their crust we'd...be quite nice to them..ask them if they'd like a cup of tea...

Maybe the 'feeling' is dependent on a mix of chemicals unlikely to be found in young women.

Don't feel bad, prostate cancer is a man's sport too.

if youre not now, you never were. dur.

I say we start one right now.

Drugs, sex, and rock n' roll.

no, i thought they were around to hold my coat when i go dance.

Why would a man want to do it either? I did a few searches and also found nothing sorry I couldnt help ya out.

Hmmm. Maybe it's because it would be impossible for them to keep their vows of "no promiscuous sex" if women got anywhere near them...

I really don't know.

Cuz it's good for your digestion.

The straight edge thing isnt about music over here. Well I dont think it is, I see plenty of pop tarts claiming to be edge...

Hmmm.

Is there a movement for the girls that dont do drugs, drink or shag around?
Or are we just boring

This just makes you sound like a fucking moron. People always ask if I'm "straight edge" or what not, since I pretty much fit the bill, although I'm not involved in some shitty ass stupid scene. I don't drink, smoke, do any drugs at all, no caffiene (Oh, how I miss you caffiene...fuck you kidney stones, fuck you.), all due to personal choices. I don't have this agression you speak of at all. I don't do the sexin's because I'm woefully single and see no point in chasing random ass. Seriously, it's stupid. All of it is stupid, and I don't see a point in any of it, so I don't do it.

Either way, you're way off your mark in that regard.

That being said, those sXe kids are a fucking retarded. And they listen to shitty music. I quit wanting to beat folks up at shows when I was oh, say...FIFTEEN. Fucking idiots. So the thing about women not being able to be sXe is lost on me, totally. Midol maybe? Birth control? It's an idiotic statement.

If girls can't be straight edge isn't that a little..

gay edge?

You know... The original straightedge ideals as put out there by Ian were pretty straight-forward and self-explanatory. WHY do ignorant, self-righteous idiots start adding their own rules to it and proclaiming it as FACT that you can't be straightedge unless you follow them?? Way to ruin a good thing and give straightedge people a bad name.

You have people saying you can't drink a cup of coffee, can't take a Tylenol if you have a bad headache, can't eat meat of any sort, etc. Sorry. Wrong. You're wrong. My opinion is that some of these new rules and thoughts are more poisonous and damaging than the actual poisons they're supposed to be keeping out of their lives.

I became straightedge back in 1995 and, while I no longer am, I have heavy respect for it and believe it's easily one of the most wise choices you can make... unless you don't do it for yourself and don't simply see it as an intelligent lifestyle choice for a single person. When you start becoming a "sXe FOR LIFE!!! STAY TRU CREW REPRESENT!" type of idiot, just please stop calling yourself straightedge and call it something else because you're a completely ignorant retard and give something great a bad name.
