First off . . . Who or what on EARTH is Sadie Hawkins? What important thing did this woman do? The first woman to ask a man on a date? The first woman to ask for a man's hand in marriage? Is it even a woman (I mean in Colonial days, men had quite womanly names)? IS IT EVEN A PERSON? We have an entire dance dedicated to this so called Sadie and we don't even know who he/she is.
And on a side note, I just spilled mayo on my pants from my subway sandwich. My life sucks.
So out of curiosity and the thought that I should probably research to find the significance of Sadie Hawkins I went to Wikipedia and typed it in. Turns out that Sadie is not a person, she is a cartoon. Sadie was the daughter of some dog man (his name was similar to dog man) and still at the age of 35 could not find a suitor. So because her father was so anxious to get his daughter out of the house, he made a day: Sadie Hawkins Day. On this day, all the fine young bachelors of dog town (or whatever it is) got the divine pleasure (or maybe not since she never seemed to find a husband) of being chased by Sadie.
We get to ask boys to a dance because some crazy cartoon girl couldn't find a husband. Empowering.
My intention for this post was to list all the reasons that Sadie Hawkins dances are stupid. But I think this is all the proof we need.
POWER TO THE WOMEN WHO CAN'T FIND HUSBANDS!
