Living in countries where women had the legal status of chattel and being exposed to a lot of general oppression in various forms has contributed to my life-long commitment to being a Bitch. People ask me why I like those countries better than the U.S. when the women are so oppressed. From what I've seen, women are oppressed all over the world. It's just a difference in the degree to which each culture allows it, some are more blatant than others. I then detail the ways we're oppressed in this country of relative freedom and opportunity. I was actually disillusioned when I moved here and found that I hadn't gotten away from men shouting obscenities at me and being condescended to or fucked with because I'm a small, pretty, woman. Might as well deal with that in a country I like. I used to yell right back and people looked at me like I was the one acting inappropriately. So now I spit instead, more subtle and ever so much more satisfyingly insulting.
Anything I perceive as unfair in the world enrages me. People who enrage me by personally treating me unfairly are given a cuttingly insightful, thorough, multi-layered and brutally honest analysis of why they're totally fucked up and I'm right. I don't hold back and if I meet resistance, the skills picked up in my days of vile insult contests as one-of-the-guys come right back. I will not be the victim and I will have my vengeance. I like vengeance, but I don't hold onto it or obsess about it cause a bitch is stronger than that.
I'm a bitch because I say, "I told you so", when my unheeded warnings almost invariably come true. I'm a bitch because I'm only 27 and think I'm a more whole human being than 70% of the people I meet. I'm a bitch because I wish my friends would just tell their kids to shut up or go away when they're making conversation impossible. I'm a Heartless Bitch cause I get a nearly uncontrollable urge to laugh when someone is angrily and earnestly accusing me of seriously upsetting them in some way.
