viedmaA little restless...
Was grabbing some lunch and caught the end of the Diane Rehm show (and btw, why do i always catch one of the commercials? it never fails. but i digress) and the subject was feminism. Which is *cool* as all hell, of course. Until the women callers were saying how we should include men into feminism. Which i agree with, but jesus christ, can we have a conversation about feminism that isn't apologetic and doesn't feel that they have to accomodate men? I'm sure Howard Stern and Adam Carolla feel no compunction to accomodate women. Unless they're jumping on trampolines. (psst, Adam and Jimmy: the trampoline thing was funny the first billion times you did it. find another joke. there's an infinite supply of them, really-- you can afford to use another one.)
Believe me, the sexist pigs i've run across have never felt that they shouldn't share their opinions with me. Or they'll qualify it by saying, "but you don't *act* like a girl!" Maybe they need to take a leaf out of Hugh Dillon's book and start hanging out with gangs of guys. in the biblical sense, of course.
So, yeah, i'm starting to feel pretty separatist these days. Get me my own island, the invisible jet, and the bulletproof bracelets. The narrow minded fools of the world should have to break their necks to meet me halfway, not the other way around. Same with the fundies, the creationists, and the people who don't like rps. Basically anyone who makes me tired.
