I'm a Heartless Bitch because I've seen too many people (women and men) give up their power to people and circumstances that they are perfectly capable of overcoming with just a little applied thought, faith and heart ... heart in the sense of inner personal power, guts and directness. I've been guilty myself of "bending over" and have learned the hard way that that just costs irreplaceable time and life energy.
Life's too short to live any way other than my own, and after coming out of a 15 year marriage where I gave up too much power I've learned that B.I.T.C.H. is the only way to live! I knew it going into this marriage and I'm remembering it coming out. I bought my wife a Ms. subscription and ended up reading it myself ... should have taken a hint right there.
I want the women who hang out at the pub I frequent to stop swinging their hips and calling it "using their power." Give me a break! Put on a sweater and sit down and tell me what you're all about. Grab a beer and call me out on something that matters to me. Challenge my status quo. Let's get a debate going about things that matter - there are plenty of them to talk about right now.
Two weeks ago I was stunned by someone I thought was like minded for telling me my "this is what a feminist looks like" shirt was "old school." The world needs more Heartless Bitches for sure.
I'm glad to find this site and feel like I've found a community I can relate to and that I was beginning to fear had faded into the background. I've been known to say at parties, "what the fuck ever happened to feminism?" Hopefully I'll find out on your Bitch board.

Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
