I'm a Heartless Bitch because I had the good sense to not be limited
by my ovaries. When I had a child, it wasn't the end of my life. Why should it
be? Sure, single-parenthood is hard without college, so why complicate the
matter? Oh, I don't know... maybe so I could be more employable and claw my way
up a notch on the belt of society?
Life isn't always easy, and anyone that thinks it should be is an idiot.
Anything worth doing is hard: college, kids, life in general. I refuse to accept
the traditional role of "woman." I'll be a parent, I'll be a cook, I'll be a
janitor, I'll be a hard worker, but those things aren't gender-exclusive.
"Woman's work" is the same as "man's work," only canned in a pretty little
discriminatory form.
I'm a Heartless Bitch because I refuse to be bullied in a relationship. If
you, as a man, can't pull your weight with me, side by side, then you are
cordially invited to fuck off. I will not settle just because he has a good job,
is good looking, or is a good lay. If he can't respect me, accept me, and
contribute to a relationship, then why should I bother?
My son is important to me, but he doesn't control every aspect of my life
either. I mean, shit, sometimes a girl needs a drink with her friends. That's
what grandparents/babysitters are for. I had to overcome the idea that you're a
bad parent if you want some time to yourself. It's been a real sanity saver.
I guess I'm a Heartless Bitch because I can be. It's who I am... why would I
want to be anything else?
