All out bitch rant
I've had one coming for a while, but i'm tired, so we'll see how far it goes.
Bitch rant about women's rights:
I had a friend recently invite me to join a facebook group titled "us supreme court upholds the ban on abortions." Yes, go back and read that sentence again.
Have you met me? Do I not Look. Like. A. Liberal. Feminist? Um hello? And this person knows me, and it probably was a joke, but I nearly snorted my coke at this. People are happy about this shit? Puh-lease. First of all, my biggest outspokenness is probably gay rights and science issues (further down here), but women's rights get me into spats also. It's bad enough that Bush is stomping on them, but seriously. It should be legal, end of story.
Now don't get me wrong, there's plenty of gray area. Do I think the guy should have a say (granted consentual relations)? Yea, but that's when it gets tricky (I mean, what else do we have all these lawyers for in the world, let them work it out). But outright bans just set us back.
Other such bitch-y-ness:
Just because I have my head phones on don't mean I can't hear you (sing song voice).
And just because you can sneer and say something nasty doesn't mean I can't flip you off for it.
(yes this is going where you think it's going). I was walking to the rec today and I got a little fiesty. Normally the reactions to my hair are pretty positive or at least interesting (cool hair, mommy her hair's purple, what have you). I don't normally get outright ridicule. I don't do it for attention and I'm usually pretty surprised when it gets it, or embarrassed. (shut up andy).
But when this girl today said something fairly rude (seriously, you don't even know me, shut up). I looked her straight in the face, smiled and flipped her off. To which got an even better reaction somewhere between "ohshit she heard me" and "crazy ass bitch". I don't know what riled me up today, but seriously, take your kappa delta ass and get a freaking clue. Not everyone is a bottle blonde (who needs to work out more) with matching headband, purse, and shoes. Get real.
Ok, so I'll save the biology-science rant for some other time. I've been reading Next by Michael Crichton, and it's got me all up in arms about science research.
