I’ve been a tomboy from a young age. My friends have always been guys, and I developed a dislike for being around other girls around age 10-11 because the people who bullied me were all girls.
When I was a teenager, I kept hearing that girls and women supposedly have a strong “fishy” smell. I know it’s a meme, but I’d seen and read enough firsthand stories that it stuck with me. I even came across accounts from gay men who said that every woman they knew smelled that way, and that it influenced their attraction to men.
In my case, I seem to be an exception. There’s no fishy smell on myself, just normal skin or sweat when I’m active, or at night when I’m due to shower. But that actually made me even more uncomfortable around groups of girls and women, because I really hate the smell of fish or seafood in general, and if there’s a lot of women in a room, that smell lingers even after they’ve left.
Sometimes I feel embarrassed, because people see me, see that I’m female, and I worry they automatically assume I’ve got a rotting crab factory somewhere.
This joke is from the song “Colt 45” by afroman, a hilarious and probably sexist classic party rap. It is funny because it is highly exaggerated. If it were true it wouldn’t be a joke.
As Afroman says, “I got a gang of this shit”.
I highly recommend listening to the whole tune, and singing along with your friends.
🎵🎶Colt 45, and two zig zags, baby that’s all we need,
We can go to the park, after dark, smoke that tumbleweed,
As the marijuana burns, we can take our turns, singing them dirty rap songs,
Stop, and hit the bong like Cheech & Chong, it will take you from here to Hong Kong,
So roll, roll, roll my joint, pick out the seeds and steems,
I’m gettin high as hell, rollin through Palm Dale, skatin’ on Dayton rims.
So roll, roll, the '83, Caddilac Coupe DeVille,
If my tapes and my CDs just don’t sell, I guess my caddy will. 🎶🎵
