I get angry when I hear women of my age claim they 'Aren't feminists
but like the right to vote and stuff'. I hate the attitude that because feminism
has some 'image problem' foisted upon it by detractors that women are too wussy
to admit to being a feminist because someone might think they don't shave their
legs of wear dungarees. God forbid it's not en vogue to have a political
philosophy that stands up for your rights.
I get angry because women feel the need to chop up their bodies, starve
themselves and inject toxins into their faces to feel 'accepted'.
I'm angry because women are still subject to bullshit double standards,
because misogyny is still rife and yet the world, including so many women,
throws bullshit at us and calls us feminazi's, difficult and all round nuisances
for wanting to be recognised as people who have the intelligence and gall to
take control of their own lives and bodies.
I'm angry that I constantly have to fight, argue and prove myself just
because I am a woman.
All this anger makes me Bitchy. So sometimes I snap at perverted men in
bars who grab my arse, I will not passively take it as a 'compliment' and see it
for what it is, harassment. I will not take to being patronised when I buy a
computer or engage in any 'manly' activities. I will not compromise. I will not
'tone down' my opinions, looks or attitudes because some so called 'friends'
think it will make me more attractive to men. Tough god knows why I'd want a man
who can't deal with the real me in the first place, if I want a nice arm
ornament I'll buy a nice handbag not date some asshole with the personality of
an mdf cabinet.
I'm a Heartless Bitch because I refuse to be anything other than myself,
and if I don't fit into someone's bullshit 2-d ideal of what a woman should be,
then I don't give a fuck. I am what I am and I'm not wasting my life acting out
some pod person charade.
Oh and the world is full of morons that piss me off and there's no harm in
pissing them off in return now and then.
