As a kid, I played Ninja Turtles with the boys on the playground, but I also played Barbies with my sister at home and made up stories with girlfriends about meeting our prince

I think that's sad. I like women more now that I just focus on finding good people, and from opening myself up to that, I've found some good women. I've always had a ton of guy friends, too, but they also get on my nerves at times (just as my female friends do). It's just nice that I can finally balance out my dude friends with level-headed women (and I can count on many more now than ever. And of course you are one of those.) But hating people just makes life harder/more annoying and I think more childish, too. When I get disappointed in people or dragged down by them, I distance myself from them. And I try not to be surprised by all the bullshit life throws at us. But grouping people I like or don't like by their gender or style or location to feel better about myself isn't my cup of tea anymore. I'm happier without it. It just makes me sad when I see women trying to better themselves but going the wrong way about it, which is why I wrote this entry. In essence, I'm saying that sometimes when women try to act more like men in order to feel stronger, they end up coming across more stupid than if they just acted girly in the first place. It doesn't mean they're bad people, they're just misguided--which is something pretty common to people who aren't as fortunate to have grown up with a level-headed family or level-headed female friends or are constantly seeing twisted female role models on TV. Not that they're victims--life's shitty like that sometimes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that hating people won't fix anything either. If there's one thing women are throwing against each other after this feminist movement blah blah blah it's that competitive 'I'm better than you' and believing all that bullshit that women are more manipulative than men or women are dumber than men or women are more this or that bad thing than men mentality that's fucking it all up. It's like that bumpersticker says: "Feminism is the radical idea that women are people"! I would add: "and they like being women!"

i said nothing qabout dude friends being better. most dudes are impossible to confide in and people in general usually freak me out. i don't think it's sad if i'm not saddened by it. it sucks, yeah, but i don't feel something is lacking from my life.
i don't WANT to fix the view of males or females. i want to live my life separately. if i act overtly girl one day, or dudical and angry the next, whatever, it's usually only inflicted upon only myself and no one else, so who cares.
i was raised cynically so that's how i am. i can't help it and i also don't want to because i like it. i call bullshit in people but i also see good in them. there's both so what can you do? i can't change people so instead i stay away from the ones who are going to ruin my day by existing. just like you said, you distance youself. in the meantime i can still humor myself by mumbling about how people are retarded and most girls are typically dumb. i'm not childish about it, i'm realistic and peaceful about it.
plus you know me anyways, i'm not some internet personality, you know the difference between my bark and my bite. i don't need no murphy brown jargon you jerk!
