I'm a Heartless Bitch because... gee, I feel like I'm back in
first grade with 'what I did on my summer vacation..' Well, I guess I am
sick of being a nice girl, but with a twist.
I am active in many
pro-female activities, and in that respect am sick of having to listen
to bullshit just because it comes from a female mouth. Sorry, no, I
won't respect you if you diss feminism and tell me you see nothing wrong
with changing your name if you get married... and can't give me one good
goddamn reason, other than, 'but there's nothing wrong with that!'
I'm
sick of women saying that women are 'naturally' more nurturing and kind.
I'm sick of getting called a dyke whenever I open my mouth (getting
pissed because obviously if I am strong and smart I must be a lesbian
and that is presented as a BAD thing), I'm sick of people telling me
feminism goes too far, and that we have enough and should be happy with
it. Some guy said to me, you know I have no problem with feminism, but I
can't even hold a door open for a woman without getting screamed at, you
women go too far. And I'm sick of people like that not listening to me
when I say I never yell at someone holding a door unless they lick their
lips as they do so, and gee, if whether or not I should yell at a guy
holding a door was all that was keeping me up at night, if that was
truly the biggest problem in my female-defined world, I would praise
whatever deity I could name in thanks!
I am tired of being
accommodating, I am tired of doing the work of ten women because the
other nine are worried about how action would make them look to the rest
of the world.
I am tired of being a lonely radical and I am tired of
being respectful and attentive to bullshit spewing forth from a mouth, I
am tired of sitting patiently and really listening to that bullshit,
waiting for my turn to express MY views, only to get cut off five
seconds into my response. how's that?
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
