Jan. 10th, 2008 02:39 pmSo I am, admittedly, more on edge than usual these days, and thus more likely to go off over something that probably doesn't matter. But jesus fuck this one thing has been pissing me off lately.
See, here's the thing: if you're obsessed with and desperate for sex, that's on no one's shoulders but yours. Nope, you can't blame a man for not wanting to pound you into the mattress when he likes the other options better. No, you can't blame another chick for being more likely to get it than you are.
Scratch that. You can, but it's kinda disgusting.
Especially, ESPECIALLY, when you pretend (badly) your issue is something other than "I want it but other people are getting it", when you frame it as disgust over those poor pervert men who can't think with anything but their dicks or those worthless filthy sluts who use their tits to their advantage. Because quite honestly I find that sickening.
I don't give a shit if someone wants to get laid. But, people, when you consider getting laid so goddamned important every rejection becomes the catalyst for a hypocritical pseudo-feminist tirade, when it hits the point a short skirt is enough to make you proclaim a woman to have no value because OH NOES she's confident enough to walk around with her legs out and you're not, when a man having standards is disgusting and shallow but there's nothing wrong with you picking and choosing, it's maybe time to step back a little and reassess.
And tangentially related: it's even more sickening when in one breath you're jealous of those worthless short-skirt sluts for the way they're treated, the next you cover it up with that pseudo-feminist "it's so unfair women can't be respected like just one of the guys" when you're being treated EXACTLY like the guys, and the very next you're bragging about how well you use your body to get attention. There's something wrong there, and it's not with the "sluts" or the "shallow assholes".
*breathes*
Wank Disclaimer: This isn't aimed at any one person...and really that's the saddest part, the amount of people I know I've seen this behavior from, the amount of people that I KNOW are better than this shit.
