I like to think of myself as a no-shit kind of a girl; I don't read
chick-lit, I don't watch chick-flicks, I am not waiting for you to rescue
me (if I do need help, however, I am woman enough to know who to turn to for
it). I might not look like much, I'm almost 20 but I could pass for 16,
blonde-haired and red-cheeked, spending all my life cast as angels and
princesses in school plays, I'm still known to surprise when I voice opinions
which are particularly unusual where I'm from. I've spent my whole life in
Malta, an island in the middle of the Mediterranean with a strictly Roman
Catholic background, we are one of the only two countries in the world in which
divorce is still illegal, and as you can imagine, it's a very 'traditional' sort
of a place.
I have opinions! I have opinions that don't always go down very well, to be
sure of it, but I love to express them anyway, they're a part of who I am and if
they put someone off then they're not to be bothered with anyway. I'm single and
happy much to the amazement of some of my family, who are shocked when I show no
interest in diamonds and perfume and insist I'll 'grow into them' and still
expect me to give up work and have babies if I ever get married, not matter how
much time and effort I devote to my studies now. As you can imagine it's not an
easy environment for a Heartless Bitch to grow up in.
Things that make me want to smack someone:
-Girls who whine about inequality and female empowerment, whilst buying
every piece of Playboy merchandise available because it's 'cute'. Not really
supporting their own argument.
-People trying to talk me out of my opinions
-Women who snap at any female stereotype they see on tv or in movies, but
think it's ok to be sexist against men; a very important example of this being
the biased custody laws which favour women.
-The guy who thought it was a really flattering compliment to tell me that
I caused his first teenage hard-on and subsequent wank (charming old friend,
that one). True story.
-Friends who whine about their feet hurting after they come shopping in
killer high heels. Or about being cold when they leave the house in a miniskirt
half way through winter.*headdesk*
In short I want to be taken seriously as a person, I'm past being treated
like a little girl, and I dislike seeing others acting like little girls purely
for the attention. I love this website and it gave me a little bit more
confidence knowing there are lots of other HBs out there too.
Country: Malta
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
