Exemplary Real-Life Heartless Bitches, 2002

Corinne - "Don't ask me the question if you don't want the fucking truth"
Linn - "I'm not merely a supporting role to your life. I'm the lead in mine."
Rachel - "It's better to be alone than to wish you were alone."
Ashley - "I take it in stride and remind myself, you're just a man, you can't help yourself, sometimes I hate everything you do, but I don't hate you."
Siobhan - "For a period of time there was almost the hope that intelligence could regain a foothold and secure a bastion against the overwhelming forces of inanity. Then you arrived and it was a mortal blow to the defenses of literacy."
Janet - "I never said I was nice. If you want my respect, show me that you are capable of thinking of someone else besides your self."
Megan - "If you find yourself on the ground, don't wait for someone else to pick you up. Stand up, brush off, and do something about it."
Toni - "I don't bitch heartlessly. I'm a Heartless Bitch. Find out the difference, or fuck off."
Julie - "I'm about as tactful as a sledgehammer and always have been."
Jen - "Fuck a patriarchy."
Alexandra - "Welcome to my life. Do you have an appointment?"
Heather - "This is really fun and all, but I've got to get home and watch paint dry."
Katrine - "Do not perceive me as half a couple when I'm ALL me. I, alone, am the source of my own happiness -- the rest of you are (albeit a good one) just a bonus."
Holly - "I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your gaping fly-trap of a mouth."
Dianne - "Some day my prince may come, but until then, I can take care of myself, even if it's forever!"
Carly - "Show me a woman who cannot spell, and I'll show you a woman who has lost all hope."
Jude - "I will not simper, play dumb, wiggle my butt, expose my boobs, or any other demeaning ploy incompetent women use to get their way."
Sweta - "You will be waking up with yourself everyday of your life, not with your mom, friends or that guy you started dating last month. Screw them, please yourself."
Kae - "The development of mind and the development of breasts are not mutually exclusive."
Karen - "My attitude is not welcomed by many, but they can kiss my attitude."
Mary - "Oh, I'm happy you're in love. But don't try to convince me that my life is worthless without a man."
Michelle - "I'm not here to please everyone. If what I do offends you, either have it out with me or MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS."
Valentine - "Yeah, I'm sure your friend's an asshole. But did you ever hear the phrase "Birds of a feather flock together?""
Siri - "I walk my own path and I enjoy every step."
Misskaos - "No matter who you are with, or what you are doing, never lose sight of who you are, and what you are about."
Mary - "I don't do chauvinists."
Kerri-ann - "Confidence is a power tool. The more you have, the greater your power."
Alissa - "I don't want to be anybody's mystery to figure out. I'm not a muse, I'm not an angel, I'm a woman."
Jo - "I know where I'm going and nothing is going to stop me."
Lindsay - "I'd rather live in the moment and die for a dream than live for a dream and die in the moment."
Steph - "I do things the way I want to, speak up for what I believe in, and won't let anyone dictate who I should be."
Kette - "Boys used to love me, until I started thinking for myself and expressing my opinions. Now boys hate me, but does that really matter when you have a fanpage and a legion of minions? I think not."
Karla - "We are not ranting simply about "that jerk who left me for another woman" or "wahhhh, I can't find a decent guy." When 90% of your angst is a result of that sort of bitch-speak, then you need to realize that you're miserable because your whole world is dependent on men. Heartless Bitchiness is more than just bitching."
Jessica - "If Charles Darwin were alive right now, he'd be pretty pissed off. He never stated evolution could reverse!"
Lori - "If you cannot contribute something positive to my life - get out of it!"
Kat - "So things aren't perfect. Accept, deal, move on."
Anita - Recently, a man who had propositioned and been refused told me that he had a MENSA-level IQ and that he and I had "obviously been a near-miss train-wreck. I have 7 other women I sleep with, I don't need you!" My response to him was "...Yes. A train-wreck--of DISEASE. It's a pity your emotional growth didn't keep up with your IQ."
Nick - "If you won't think for yourself, I'm not going to do it for you."
Laura - "Don't ask me for help, if your not willing to help yourself."
Pandora - "I hate ignorance and hypocrisy. I tell people the truth--no matter how painful honesty can be (and, of course, it is half the time), I believe that it is better to let the people know before their self-inflicted downfall."
Colleen - "I will be respected for who I am and not for what you want me to be. I will not change my hair, wear make up, lose weight, or skip dessert to fit in with someone else's image of womanhood, but I will do all of the above if I want to."
Merry - "Your emotions are not my responsibility, nor is your life, and if you can't deal with that, start walking now."
Anna - "I thought I was a slut, but then I realized I was just acting like a man!!"
Eumenide - "Don't go all Jack Nicholson on me and tell me, "You make me want to be a better man". Go AWAY, *become* a better man, and THEN look for a woman who will be your partner, not your savior."
Dawn - "If you don't have the nerve to be your own person and live your own life, then get out of my way."
Katie - "Unlike that utterly terrible one-liner from Jerry Maguire, no man will ever complete me. I am complete as I am now."
Michele - "Fix yourself. I'm not your mother. Don't fix me, I'm just fine."
April - "Being male is no excuse for not knowing what to do with a spatula, mop or dish soap. Being female is no excuse for not knowing what to do with a brain."
Virna - "I am happy to say that every visit to this site reaffirms my choices to discount those people that don't have a clue. I will, on occasion, make an effort to educate them, but I will no longer waste my time with repetitive idiocy. Some people say, "How can you so easily throw people away?" and to them I say, "Why shouldn't I? Nothing I say is going to enlighten them and life is too short for the dumb shit." I'm not mean or disrespectful about it; I'm just not going to be bothered with it over and over and over again, ad nauseum. I don't get have to get angry, they don't count anyway."
Maddy - "Love means never having to buy new batteries."
Leslie - "Being a Heartless Bitch doesn't mean you hate men, it means that you are smart enough to realize you don't need one to be happy."
Noelle - "I hate dealing with stupid people. I know some of them can't help it, but it doesn't make me any more patient with them."
Heather - "A bitch is what I've been called when I've been my best self. I'll never apologize for it."
Christine - "I'll try to alert you when the insults start. Wouldn't want you to miss one."
Kerry - "Silly me, I forgot! You still care what people think about you."
Helen - "I carry the responsibility for no one's life but my OWN. I believe in education, not whining."
Kate - "If you put me on a pedestal, it will be that much easier for me to kick you in the teeth."
Carolyn - "There is a great deal of difference between the words "think" and "feel." Do not try to use my feelings to change my mind."
Cinloo - "Don't take yourself so seriously. Nobody else does."
Audrey - "These things are mine: self-reliance, intelligence, independence, instinct, choice, trust, sense of humor, and all else that is best in me. Try to mess with any of it and you'll find out what a Heartless Bitch is in a hurry."
Tracey - "Watch mediocrity, and go the other way."
Bansidhe - "No one ever needs to apologize for having an opinion."
Emma - "I don't consider myself a hard-core feminist. I'm very soft and feminine on the surface, but that's only to balance out my cock."
Banfennid - "I am true to myself, and unapologetic for it."
Stephanie - "If you're threatened by my intelligence, your feelings, apparently, are valid- I AM smarter than you."
Kate - "My sanity is of greater value than your need to monopolise my ear with your litany of complaints. Especially when they relate to aspects of your life you are perfectly able to control yourself. Despite how easy it is to blame the economy, the ex-husband or the church, your apathy towards positive action is the primary culprit."
Catherine - "By blaming their problems and mistakes on lame excuses like PMS, women who use this excuse demonstrate personal weakness and lack of character, while strengthening the irrational and helpless stereotype often attributed to women. The only way to prove this stereotype wrong is to take full responsibility for you actions, and be strong, independent, and confident."
Alana - "You can rearrange my face, but you can't rearrange my mind."
Cyndi - "Personal growth is hard, but it's better than being brain dead."
Vivienne - "The only turning cheek you'll see is my ass cheek turning and walking away."
Ridgely - "The fire you like so much in me, is the mark of someone adamantly free." -Liz Phair
Hannah - "You are what you believe."
Mserica - "What do you do when a man is screaming your name and gasping for breath? Hold the pillow down tighter."
Jan - "Just because someone is selling you a bag of shit doesn't mean you have to buy it."
Sarah - "But be, as you have been, your own happiness."
Tyson - "Yes, I'm a guy. I'm also a bitch. Deal. I do have a heart; I just choose to keep it in my fucking chest."
Aly - "I’m a heartless bitch when, after setting it down to cry, I pick up my life and carry it on with as much joy and peace as I can muster."
Jill - "My self-esteem is not something you can take away from me. That is why it is called *self*-esteem."
Marty - "Yeah, yeah, yeah. We ALL have issues. The only thing that really counts is how much you let them run your life."
Therese - "However, being a bitch is a willingness to support your opinion and to have the guts to face the possibility that you may not be liked, that you may be ridiculed, and yes, be called a "dyke" or a "bitch." "
Lorelei - "Perhaps if you stopped whining long enough to take some positive action, your life would improve. Don't expect me to feel sorry for you because you can't seem to deal with reality."
