I am a Heartless Bitch because:
- I would rather be remembered for what I say and do rather than how much orthodontic work is in the teeth that say it, or the breasts that it floats over or the shoes I happen to be wearing that day.
- I am against ignorance and stupidity wherever it may reign (male, female, gay, straight, bi, white, black, red, green, purple-polka-dots etc.) Some people say that makes me a feminist. So what. There are far worse things I could be called - bigot, racist, misogynist, homophobe - which might sound more like your style.
- Since every time I uncurve my spine I get called a bitch, I've decided to revel in the fact. ("No, it isn't PMS. If it were PMS I would have shoved your keyboard up your ass by now. You're just being an ignorant fuck, and there is a difference.") Yes, I'm blunt. Yes, I have an opinion. No, I'm not going to roll over and spread my legs and whine and simper because you don't agree with me.
- I am in a job often not traditionally considered "women's" work and am sick and bloody tired of people going "Oh, you work with computers, that's nice. Isn't it hard working with men all the time?" At least the guys I work with (a) have a sense of humour and (b) talk about something besides men and shoes and makeup and their kids and (c) don't get all upset and pissy when I hang up the phone from one of my many idiot clients and grumble "fucking pisshead" under my breath when they deserve it. Just because I have breasts doesn't mean I don't know the difference between a PCI slot and an I/O card. (Or for that matter, between an air filter and a spark plug - but that's a WHOLE other rant.)
Feminism isn't a four letter word. Learn to count with both hands.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
