I'm a Heartless Bitch because I refuse to tolerate anyone - regardless of their gender - who steps over my personal boundaries. Upon meeting my best friend's boyfriend for the first time, he immediately began making jokes about my breasts and what he would like to put between them. My response? "Well, sir, let's see the size of your balls. I'd sure like to slip this butter knife between them." Obviously, I walked out.
A friend of my grandmother's asked me last week if I was getting any exercise. When I asked why he wanted to know, he casually commented that it looked like I had gained a lot of weight. This man comes home and eats a package of Little Debby snack cakes daily. I replied, "Why don't you put down the fucking cakes and worry about your own body instead of paying attention to mine." Not a word did he utter.
As soon as there is any sign of inequality in my relationships, romantic or otherwise, I confront it. When I dated boys back in high school, I had all sorts of problems. I expected them. I shot them down. I date women now, and I was surprised to find out that even feminists can slip up and slide under the equality radar now and then. My girlfriend used to have a habit of telling me to stick up for myself while simultaneously mocking me and not taking me seriously every time I did just that. One day, I laid out an ultimatum: either practice what you preach and stop fucking mocking every word that comes out of my mouth, or we are over. She got the picture, and we have been living together happily and respectfully for over a year.
I am a Heartless Bitch because, while I respect people who genuinely wish to marry, I refuse to participate in a tradition that not only contradicts my beliefs about human nature, but was also started as a way to trade material goods for women.
