From The Stranger’s article, entitled, Toke Like a Girl: “Perhaps the obstacle to female toking is a fear of looking lazy. Getting stoned is, in effect, a great way to relax. Men are allowed to be lazy—being stoned is part of their farting, pajama-wearing, video-game-playing pantheon of acceptable male relaxation techniques…But modern women are not allowed to be lazy, adorable stoners. Women have to go to college which they’re now doing at higher rates than men, and then get their careers going quickly, before their biological clocks run out. Then they have to have kids and take them to all of their activities. There is no time for women to be slovenly and relax—and if women do relax, it has to be at a gym. One of feminism’s original goals to subvert traditional male and female roles. So how come pot culture, which one would expect to be receptive to the feminist message, has changed so little?” [hat tip to Jess Haley for the link]
