Not Too Tired to Fight!
I'm tired. I'm tired of people using the phrase "you know how I am" as
an excuse for bad behavior. I'm tired of men asking me to cancel plans I
have so they can make a nookie run over to my place. I'm tired of being
called "smart, but a little slutty" because I choose not to lock down
with one lover and I express my right to safe sex with a couple of
carefully selected partners on an ongoing basis. As if my intellect and
the ease with which it is perceived that I drop my fly are somehow a
paradox.
I'm tired of people telling me I'm intimidating because I am tall, smart,
I stand too close, I talk too loud, my opinions are too strong, I don't
hold back and I never ever pull a punch. I am tired of hearing that my
power makes me scary and people expecting me to apologize for that. I'm
glad.
Hey world! Fear Me, I came to this planet to chew bubblegum and
kick your ass! And world - what's more - I know what power is.
It's knowledge. It's ideas, and it is courage. So don't look for me to stay in
the dark, be uninformed or be silent about what I see as right and wrong.
You WILL be hearing from me, and although you are cordially welcomed to
turn a deaf ear, you are also cordially invited to not expect me to play
along, buy the hype, nor acquiesce to pressures and conventions I feel are
wrong and bad for me.
I always wondered what exactly this made me and now I know. Hey World,
I am a Heartless Bitch. Not a cunt, or a whore. Not a monster or a
blowhard. A Heartless Bitch. Write it on the bathroom mirror, this girl
will be heard from again.
Yes! I want to Read about more "Real Life Heartless Bitches"
