(no subject)
Ok. I need to rant or vent or flail or SOMETHING before I hurt somebody. Sometimes the world AMAZES me with the amount of sheer DUMB that is its inhabitants.

Like, WTF?!? There are actually PEOPLE (extremly egoistical, misogynistic BASTARDS, but people nontheless) in 21st century North America who think that women came with the sole function to take care of men?! And that wife with a career means OH NOEZ she's going to meet people better than you and cheat on you?! And that divorce is, of course, all women's fault?!
And then I made the mistake of talking to a male friend about this. This is basically our conversation (emphasis mine):
Me: Look at this. What do you think?
Him: Well it's like "Taming of the Shrew".
Me: ....the DIFFERENCE is that this is four hundred years later. You'd think humans have gotten past this women-are-created-to-serve-men crap.
Him: Hey, problems of the past still persist. Too bad, so sad...why rage about it?
What. The. HELL. You mean you don't see something terribly WRONG with this? How can you just dismiss it like that, and make me look like I'm making a big deal out of nothing?
I am angry. *seethes*
In an unrelated note, I went ahead (and caved in to peer pressure) and rented KH2 yesterday! Just started on it, and I'm enjoying it immensely already. Except the controls. Oh the controls TT____TT Let's just say I'm really bad with button-pressing. But it's still kind of fun.
