I'm an HB because I cannot fathom any other way of being. Don't get
me wrong: I'm all about(non-fairweather) tolerance and I make it a habit to seek
out and draw wisdom from any idea, concept, etc. that I come across. But,
because of this curiosity, I've learned a thing or two.
I've learned that ours is a culture that has not been kind to its women.
Often enough we find ourselves used and abruptly cast aside when dealing with
men. We find ourselves labeled hormonal or crazy when we remind others that we
have wills, hearts and minds of our owns by speaking UP and especially speaking
AGAINST. We find ourselves accused of everything from delusions to sheer evil
when we point out that no, really, I don't want to have kids/don't want to get
married/don't think you're god's gift to womankind/don't appreciate you groping
me on the bus/don't think I need a boob job/etc.
I learned a few other things. I won't prattle on, but I'll tell you this: I
was NOT pleased with what I learned. And, more importantly, I was NOT going to
"stop taking everything so seriously and shut up with all that feminist
crap".
Okay, I'll admit: At first, I did try to ignore what I learned. Seeing as
how I ended up here, though, it's quite obvious that it wouldn't work.
And you know what? I'm glad it wouldn't. As I said before (at the start of
this rambling essay of mine), I cannot fathom any other way of being. And I
don't fucking want to. I don't want to be an establishment pawn. I don't want
willful ignorance to be my guide. I don't want to pretend that some guy's going
to make me happy in ways that only I can. I don't want the content of my
character judged based on the color of my skin. I don't want any of that. I
don't want it.
That, when it comes right down to it, is what makes me a Heartless Bitch.
Those three words that people don't seem to like women saying with any sort of
confidence:
I. DON'T. WANT.
I know what I want and I know that the women on this site do as well. It
seems to piss off the media, the chauvinists and whoever else wants a piece of
us when we don't want and, more importantly, WON'T ACCEPT the lies, the
half-truths, the bullshit promises and bogus conventional wisdom.
Fuck 'em. The Heartless live on.
