Thank you for the hugs, guys.

Song lyrics from [info]nightflight's journal that really resonated:

those summer days we turned our backs on
when I think upon them now, I realize they were the sins
of being so helplessly timid and too young


For many reasons, and not necessarily this summer.

And, a rant:

There are days when I get incredibly angry at the male half of the human species. Not because of fights or some such, but just because of the sense of entitlement men have just because they were born with penises. I'm sorry, but any man who thinks that gender equality has been attained just doesn't get it.

I am tired of men thinking that I will automatically do what they want me to do, just because I'm a generally easy-going female. I am tired of men thinking that because I like to cuddle with girls, or because I will make out with one during a drinking game/if the girl asks/if I feel like it, that they can automatically get me to have sex with a woman because it'd be "hot." Speaking of that, I'm tired of men thinking that they have any influence over an aspect of my sex life that doesn't involve them. I'm tired of men ignoring me because they think they can get away with it. I'm tired of men having superior attitudes. I'm tired of men thinking that I can be controlled. That I can be bought. That I don't know exactly what they're doing. That I'm under their thumb.

I'm also kind of tired of getting more and more jaded, but maybe my skin was too thin anyways.

Edit: And what pisses me off most is that I don't sock them in the face for it, but just sit silent. I = bad feminist.

Men...are interesting creatures. I know that I've grown quite weary of their entitlement complex. They are entitled to my foot in their ass. :D

*hugs*

You know. I think foot in ass is a pretty good entitlement.

*hugs back*

Oh, men. One thing I really liked when I first started kissing/etc girls is that it's an aspect of my sexuality that men have *no* window into, unless I chose to allow them one. And men are somtimes good, and fun, (and these days I actually have an SO of the opposite sex after about a year only pursuing women) but I swear, I ended up with more issues re: sex with men than about sex with women, even though I grew up in a conservative Christian household. (perhaps weird, but meh.) Just from the way a particularly obnoxious percentage of them talk to and look at women.

*hug* Try looking at them disdainfully! It takes less guts than socking-in-face.

Yeah. I think far too many men don't have respect for women; they think they can use them. Women, on the other hand, tend not to have this attitude.

For some reason, disdain never works for me. Again, I just get ignored. >.

ugh I understand your feelings. I just got reaaaally mad at a guy because he thougt he could do with me whatever he wanted and when I said "enough" he was so surprised, like "but, what have I done?" And I: "Oh, nothing, just stepped over me like, I don't know, a thousand times?" Then he went like "pfff, girls" ¬¬' I almost killed him.

interesting creatures, yes...
