I am angry today. And I decided that I want to kick some ass about it. I was listening to some idiots talk today about girls that they have slept with (of course, these terms were not used) and it just made me so angry. Who perpetuates our societal double standard, that men can run around acting like horny cavemen and women have to just…put up with it. What if I were to walk around boasting about MY sexual conquests? Would it be acceptable for me? No. It wouldn’t. I would be a slut if I did that. I would be called all kinds of disgusting things that I won’t even say. And that pisses me off.
I was talking to D. about this not too long ago. We were talking about how chicks tend to be ashamed of how many people they have slept with and the difference between the way the girls feel about it, and the way the guys feel about it. Personally, I say fuck it. Quite literally, actually. If you are a chick, and you want to go to a bar and take a guy home, just because YOU FEEL LIKE IT, then you DO it. Now, I am not saying that all of us should take random guys home all the time, but, Jesus, if that’s your thing, do it. Actually, I respect a girl who knows what she wants, how to get it, and isn’t afraid to admit it and maybe be called names for it, more than I do someone who just pretends that they are better than that girl. No one is better than that girl. And that girl knows it, because she is exactly where she wants to be.
This sounds like I am advocating being uber-sluts and running around like horny cavewomen. That is not what I am saying at all, obviously, we must maintain a level of class. Of self control. But if you want something ladies, go and get it. I am sick of guys being able to make all the rules. And I am sick of feeling like I should be ashamed if I want to do something a little out of character. Or a LOT out of character for that matter. I am an adult dammit!
I don’t know why I am a femi-nazi today. I think it is PMS. Whatcha gonna do?

Nelson......wow.
That's a positivley HELLISH song to have stuck in your head.
For three weeks now I've been dealing with: "Can you keep up/Baby boy/make me lose my breath" on an endless loop.
The worst part is i don't even really like Destiny's child that much.
Hazard of the job i suppose.
