Anna
I am a professor at a large state university, and a single mom of two daughters under the age of 12. Unlike many of my male colleagues, I don't have a wife at home taking care of my kids, doing my laundry, cooking my meals, and packing my suitcase for the multitudes of travel that my work requires. In addition, I am also unlike many women I know in that I do not need a man for my financial, emotional, physical, or psychological stability.
I am not resentful of the men or the women I mentioned above, I'm just very unlike both of those types of people. I do, however, think there are many more women out there like me, and I feel at home when I read many of the comments and articles on this site. To me, being a Heartless Bitch isn't about hating men or hating weak women. It's not about complaining about one's lot in life, and it's not about pretensions or haughty platitudes. At the end of the day, I'm a Heartless Bitch because I have a set of balls, proverbially speaking.
Like many Heartless Bitches just like me, I wake up every day, and choose to be who I am because pretending to be something I'm not is an unbearable alternative. I choose to remain single and show my daughters a strong female role model rather than someone who sold out to mediocrity in an effort to stave off loneliness. I choose to balance a demanding career and single-motherhood.
Finally, I choose to be myself, and not some fake, wide-eyed parody of a woman and a human being that many women's magazines portray. The phrase Heartless Bitch, is pretty simple actually. It's synonymous with women who have brains and common sense, as well as the courage to be themselves and take responsibility for whatever life has in store for them. Finally Heartless Bitches are not so because of the claims they make, but because of the lives they choose to live every day. Thank you.
