I am woman; hear me roar. (If you can around the cock in my throat)

My stomach still really fucking hurts. Naruto, can we just like…trade bodies for a bit?

Housemates: Party? I’d like to celebrate the return of the prodigal son, and we haven’t had anything go down at the house yet. We could have an open stage or something in the basement at all the house bands could play. It’ll be stellar.

....oh, for God's sake.

On the one hand, the Feminist Empowerment Movement is a brilliant thing for teaching girls and young women that they have no need to submit to anything they don't wish to, in any shape or form. On the other, it needs a good kick up the backside for decided that this sort of thing is acceptable and, indeed, admirable. There aren't many things that truly push my buttons, but this is definitely one of them.

And 'KKK'? Dear God. Shock value is one thing, but this is more than borderline insensitive in many respects.

I am eternally gratefully that you have your head on better than this child.

Exactly! It is so colossally fucked up! And yet the solution seems so painfully clear to me, which is just be yourself, whatever that entails. It always feels like women are only allowed to act within specific shapes and circles, even within feminism and a liberation movement, even though you would think the entire point is to make it socially acceptable to exist as full and complete human beings.

She's such a fucking idiot. I just want to punch her all the time.

I'm glad you are too, teach. Makes me feel a little less crazy to know I'm not the only one.

Ahhh, discrimination. If it's not negative, it's positive, and therefore apparently okay with the very people it's penning in. Ridiculous.

And you don't why? (Not that I'm condoning violence against the willfully ignorant, of course~)

Good to hear. ♥

Utterly. Frustrating too. I always get slapped with the other hand of feminism, which is the accusation that I'm trying to achieve equality by conforming myself to male behavioral patterns. I've had people tell me that I don't even qualify as a woman anymore. It's so fucking stupid.

Mainly because I have to work with her and because she'd cry and I'd feel like a bully.

That's even more ridiculous. Mind you, if I let all the willful ignorance and stupidity in the world affect me, I'd be a quivering wreck in the corner. Still, it's never easy to sway between two worlds that way and not quite belong to either. I think, in the long run, it's far easier to create your own.

Clearly she needs to toughen up a little. Oh, well.

Yeah, I've long stopped letting it bother me.

Indeed. I'm hoping I can just convince her to leave.
