Well, I've always thought I was a Heartless Bitch -- but I was wrong. I'll get back to this in a moment.
I find myself disgusted and pissed off by things I see, hear, and read on a daily basis. It started at an early age. While other girls in my middle school, which was located along a busy road, would laugh uneasily about the men who honked and whistled at us from their cars (saying things like "Well at least now I know I look good today!"), I would flip them off or yell "Fuck you!"
Sure, maybe that's not the most mature way to retaliate, but I felt thoroughly disgusted and invaded by their come-ons.
My friends would yell at me, as if I should just keep my head down and not "start shit." That pissed me off even more. If they have a right to comment on a 13 year old's (MY) anatomy, I certainly have a right to respond.
Fast-forward to my life today. I'm a college student, and I love going out and meeting new people. Somehow, new people (boys [specifically, NOT men]) love meeting me too -- until they find out I have a boyfriend.
I've witnessed my friends getting yelled at for inviting me over ("Why did you bring a girl who was already taken???"...EX-CUSE ME? There is so much wrong with that sentence, I could gag)
Sometimes, the most positive comment I hear towards the boyfriend is something along the lines of "Wow, he lets you go out without him?" The conversation usually ends there.
While I have put down and/or lectured many a friend and foe, I realized yesterday that I was not always the Heartless Bitch I thought I was. This happened when I came across this website. After reading the homepage, I thought to myself, "excellent! This site is funny, clever, and I agree with them." I stayed up late into the night reading various parts of the site, primarily the rants page. I learned so much! I was wrong about so many things without even knowing. The first rant that rocked my socks was one of the first, written by a woman who was fat and happy. All of the things she listed as what NOT to do, I had done for my roommate, thinking I was helping.
Now I feel I truly understand what it is to be a TRUE Heartless Bitch, and I'm very excited to join.
