Nirva
The one-liner is a quote that I thoroughly enjoyed from my aunt, who is
one of the few women in my family heartlessly bitchy enough to realize
that inner confidence is the real key to being happy. Unfortunately most
of what I was taught growing up involved being a "nice girl" and
catering to everyone around me, especially the men. Fortunately I
decided pretty early on that was not cutting it for me. Although it took
me many years to grow into my bitch potential (and I'm still working on
it!) I can't think of any battle more worthwhile.
I am not solely responsible for the dishes or the laundry; unless you're
a cripple (and mental handicaps don't count) clean up your own mess. I
don't play dumb to get the man or to make the women feel more secure, I
don't wear make-up or shave my legs unless I damn well feel like it, I
don't tolerate narrow-minded, bigoted remarks about myself or anyone
else, I don't deal well with guilt trips or pity parties, and I am
frequently considered a bad influence on other women. (I have this
frightening tendency to push them to think for themselves.)
Oh, and did I mention I like to fuck? Yes, of course, to men stuck with
that ol' virgin-whore dichotomy, that makes me not a nice girl. Well,
get over it. I happen to be a very nice person, but don't worry, if my
honesty is too much for you I won't be fucking *you*.
My attitude has earned me all kinds of titles from both men and
women--from "dirty feminist" to "bitch" to "unnatural girl"--to which I
generally respond by smiling gleefully. Hey, if they don't like me, why
keep handing me all that extravagant flattery?
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
