When I first saw this website a while ago, I thought "why would I ever want to be a Heartless Bitch? That sounds completely dreadful." But then I realized I was one - and that I was taking the words out of context. I took "Heartless Bitch" to mean a horrible mean-spirited person who doesn't care about others, when really it means an intelligent woman who will not put up with crap dished out by other people.
I thought I was one of the only people who felt the way the code explained - I have just started college at a public university after 12 years of private school - the last 4 which was at an all-girl's academy. I can remember myself feeling a feminist urge back from when I was in Girl Scouts (although I didn't know it had a word or what exactly to call it back then.) Then the last four years at my academy, we were taught that we were "Women making a difference." I didn't realize I was being taught and living by feminist values - I just assumed all women realized their power and that they were just as equal as men.
I didn't have to worry about relationship problems either. Then when college rolled around recently, I realized that I was having trouble finding girls who realized their self-worth. They dress like hussies and cry why boys don't treat them nicely. Even some of my friends from high school have started the new trend to seem to gush over boys and whine to me why things don't work out - I don't care! They have a boy say hello to them and they all practically swoon. I feel like the worst of qualities are coming out - and I'm not blaming men, I'm blaming the teachings of society to these young men and women.
I can't believe that what I have been taught the majority of my life is becoming so compromised. Everyone is powerful in his or her own way, and they must find out themselves before they begin to "hunt" for someone else.
I suppose I am a Heartless Bitch because I don't want to put up with the disgusting display of weakness by women and their complaints about men. I wish to embody the qualities that create a mentally healthy society and to join together with those that I can relate to in a war not against men, but against a society that invokes people to act in a way that is harmful to the whole.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
