I interpret "Heartless Bitch" to imply that the "heart" is "less" - thus
that a Heartless Bitch operates on a Head-First basis, leading with
intellect rather than emotion. I do not believe that in order to be a
Heartless Bitch one must be completely devoid of compassion and concern
for others - to the contrary, an accomplished Heartless Bitch will take
precautions to ensure that her compassion and concern are well-placed
and are not wasted on the undeserving. Operating in this manner, she is
certain to have enough C&C to help sustain those who will benefit most -
ergo, making the best possible contribution to the world at large.
Here is my personal Heartless Bitch manifesto:
I believe that, as an intimate (friend or partner), a Heartless Bitch
will never support unethical, immoral or just plain stupid behavior nor
decline comment, and would expect the same in return. Lacking an
intimate connection, a Heartless Bitch will mind her own business,
unless the quality of her life is affected, in which case she will make
the perpetrator's life a living hell until they cease and desist - or
burst into flame and vaporize, whichever comes first.
A Heartless Bitch does not wish to harm another but is unquestioningly
prepared to do so should the situation merit it. Although she generally
keeps her claws safely retracted, it should be noted that she has them
and is unafraid to use them. Fuck with her and hers at your peril.
A Heartless Bitch knows she is fine just like she is until SHE sees
different. She owns her successes, failures and so-so performances
equally and can laugh at herself longer and louder than anyone else. She
will gracefully accept constructive criticism and feedback, but will
crucify you if indulge yourself in a manipulative power play or
"poor-me" diatribe.
A Heartless Bitch neither grants nor expects "default" respect, even for
herself. She believes that all respect must be earned. The only possible
exceptions are children, very old persons and the developmentally
challenged, and even some of those should be dispensed with.
Most of all, a Heartless Bitch will never NEED YOU, but if you are a
straight-up, strong and intelligent individual of integrity, she just
might be delighted to have you around. If that's the case, consider
yourself one lucky motherfucker. Make it worth her while.
If it's me, please note that the tool shed is MINE.
