Why Aren't There Any Women in the Running of the Bulls? Top Five Reasons

Thursday July 10, 2008

Turn on any TV news program and you'll see clips of today's Running of the Bulls in Spain. It's an annual event the networks love to capture on tape. One reporter pointed out that we don't see any female participants.

Why aren't there any women in the Running of the Bulls?

Top five reasons:
5) We experience enough bull on a daily basis, thank you.
4) Unless we're in the mood, we try to limit our exposure to horny creatures.
3) Bulls are nothing. Real women run in high heels for big cash prizes.
2) Like attracts like - we want to compete with our own kind. When they create a women-only Running of the Cows, we'll be there.

And the number one reason?
1) We're just not that stupid.

probably cause we’re not that stupid is the best answer…seems like any violent, horribly cruel, (ask the bull if it’s not violent)act…bullfighting, dogfighting, cockfighting is a real man thing. women don’t invent this stuff, but once in a while there’s some dumbass idiot female who does run, cheer at a dog or cockfight because she’s there w/ her man…………. it’s barbaric and disgusting
