It's crappy. You can't be a woman and deny that shit. But, man, at least here you can talk about it. You can scream and claw, and that's alright. Shit, my mom, to scare me from sex, I remember her telling me about the crap they called abortions back in Germany when she was young. Back in the 50s, the 60s, if you could afford to go to the Netherlands to get an abortion, rad. If not, I think you can imagine what they had to make due with
( ... )
I assure you I'm well educated on the matter. At least your parent bothered to explain the mechanics and risks of sex to you.
Nothing you've said qualifies as things I'm not already conscious of, nor does it in any way convince me to not stand up straight and open my mouth. Indeed, the fact that so many people don't do the same only reinforces how important it is for me, at least, to do it. That apathetic attitude is as much a part of the problem.
Ha, nothing teaches self-defense quite like a hardcore mosh pit, especially once the booze starts flowing.
There's usually something going on in this city, I help out with some kind of show at least once a month. I'll keep updates in this thing.
Heh, I think that was my Ma's biggest fear. But I'm gonna go out of a limb and say you didn't have the same luxary. What, your mom too busy?
I dunno if I'd say it's all apathy. But to change anything, everyone affected needs to get up and shout, and I don't think that'll ever happen. It's easier to stand up for yourself than for all womankind. Or humankind, when you're talking about anything else.
They're killer. If the world was just one big moshpit, everything would be a hell of a lot easier.
I've noticed. Everything's jumping. It's the reason I like this place; there's always something light a fire under your skin.
I'm sorry, I must have skipped that day we practiced kumbaya in vocal and pledged to be best friends forever who shared everything.
That's exactly my point though. Why does no one seem to understand that all that a crowd is is individuals. Standing up for youself is standing up for everyone, whether you intend it to be or not.
It'd be a fuckload more fun too.
New York is pretty rad that way, but if you've already figured that out I'm failing to see why you need my help.
Alright, hostile. What, I hit a nerve or somethin'?
Then why are there still problems? Hell, I can name people who've stood up for shit, and I'm not even well fuckin' versed in activism. I'm just not about to put my faith in anything but myself, and I tend to expect that from other people. If that's bad, or wrong, boo hoo, fine, but that's the way I am.
