Thank you for the hugs, guys.
Song lyrics from
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.
