I fight tirelessly against misogyny on the internet. Well, not tirelessly, but when I have the free time and feel like it, after all I do have a life. Okay, so in reality it usually amounts to giving IRC boys what for every so often (and just mocking them when they refuse to listen to reason). I did, however, recently defend the Heartless Bitches and the "Nice Guys=Bleah!" on Fark, that refuge of the poor, pathetic, bitter "nice guy."
Regarding the "Nice Guy" thing, I've been trying to tell nice boys (who always end up getting obsessed with me for some reason, it's tough being a geek girl) about this whole "self-esteem" concept for years. They're pretty thick, though. They don't seem to understand that having good intentions makes you any less of a controlling asshole as a guy who just realizes he's a controlling asshole.
I also gave up dating "nice guys" for good by the time I was 18. Now I date men.
Speaking of men, when fighting I give it to my boyfriend as good as he does. He's more afraid of angering me than I him. Not because I'm abusive or mean, but because I'm not a doormat, and when he's in the wrong, he's going to get an earful. Luckily, he's one of the good ones and these instances are rare. Still working on getting him to do dishes, though. Hope that doesn't disqualify me.
I'm not afraid to identify myself as a feminist to anyone who bothers to strike up a political discussion with me. I don't apologize for it. I shouldn't have to.
I've introduced all of my girlfriends to the wonders of healthy self-sexuality by taking them to Good Vibrations and letting them know that it's all right to get yourself off, and to do so in style. They're all hearty vibrator enthusiasts now. Although my career path isn't set in stone yet, I would like to go into sex and relationship psychology so I can influence and help other women fully enjoy their sexuality without all of the bullshit they absorb from the media, society, and their husbands.
Oh, and I can drink beer. Real beer, none of this "lime and a corona" bullshit. Currently I'm infatuated with IPAs. It's also so annoying when I order drinks with my boyfriend, and they set the beer down in front of him. No girly drinks for me!
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
