Is MissGFY Buddhist?

I've had a thought percolating in my head for a few days now. If the there was a GFY contest with over $10k in prizes available to the guys, threads would be full of "Yeah, I'm gonna kick ass," "You don't have a chance," and "I hope I win."

Don't you find it interesting that none of the girls yet has stated that she WANTS to win, much less thinks she has a chance? Is it that repulsive to society for a female to have an ego or self-confidence that she can't even show it during competition?

Sure it's cocky, sure it might be in bad taste, but all this simpering shoring-up of every other contestant's (apparently) flagging self-esteem is tiresome. This is a competition, not an open-mic poetry reading.

Can't someone just say, "I'm gonna kick ALL yo' asses so hard you won't even feel it til next week!"

Now *that* would be in the true spirit of GFY.



Ok, you are now free to start the controversy.
