That article you had to write a paper on made me SO. ANGRY. I couldn't even get to the end I was so mad. I would absolutely fail at writing a polite paper on that. Could I debate it with some pig-head who agreed with it?? Fuck ya. Be nice about it?? Not a chance.

This was my favorite part:

“For several decades, white Anglo-Saxon males—Brandon’s ancestors—have faced withering assault from feminism- and multiculturalism-inspired education specialists. Armed with a spiteful moral rectitude, their goal is to sever his historical reach, to defame, cover over, dilute … and then reconstruct.”

Translated:

"BEING A WHITE GUY JUST ISN’T THE SAME ANYMORE!!!"

It was bad. Just so bad. Pulsing forehead vein bad. Luckily it wasn’t a whole paper, just a post that got WAY too long and pretty heated by the end. I really tried to not get mad but I just couldn’t. If it makes you feel better, I shoved this very good article in the first guy’s face:

"Antifeminist pundits have an unyielding view of men as irredeemably awful… By contrast, feminists believe that men are better than that. It’s feminists who are really "pro-boy"… who want young boys and their fathers to expand the definition of masculinity and to become fully human."

(Breathe easy, we got this one covered.)

Attn: dudebros of the gym

Some things I care about:

  • My health
  • My body
  • Me
  • Picking up heavy shit
  • Getting strong as fuck
  • Food

Some things I don't give one flying fuck about:

  • Your opinions on my body
  • Your opinions on how I should or should not work out
  • Your opinions
  • Your deep-seated fear that I will "get bulky" and thus be worthless as a sex object for your viewing pleasure
  • Your detailed explanation of what men like
  • What men like
  • You acting offended at my dismissal of your opinions
  • You acting offended at the fact that your opinions have no power to affect me, my body, or what I do with my body
  • You acting offended that I don't care that you're offended
  • Your easily offended dudebro ego

Thank you and have a spectacular day!! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ

Last night I walked home from the gym after dark. In a distance of less than one mile: I was yelled at from three cars, followed by a leering man across a parking lot who wanted to know where I was going and if I was meeting anyone, told by a thuggish teenage boy that "if I didn't want a man to holla' at me, maybe I shouldn't make my ass look so good", and told by a concerned mother in a minivan that there was "no need to make it so easy for them, being out after dark like this."

I was sweaty, smelly, wearing a ratty size XL World of Warcraft hoodie, a bleachstained bandanna, sports bra, jersey shorts, grubby tennis shoes and no makeup. If I'd been attacked or raped, I'd still be told that I was "asking for it."

Shame on every single one of you who has been submitted into accepting this sort of thing as "normal" and "just a nuisance". Learn to fight back, all of you, men, women, everybody.

Body thoughts.

A friend's comment today started me thinking hard, and one major realization was this: My romantic/social life has all but disappeared since I lost weight. When I was 250+ pounds I had friends, nights out on the town, boyfriends/girlfriends, confidence galore. All of this, and with a body that my own society judged as "ugly" and "disgusting"; dressed in men's clothing and bad makeup and combat boots and half-assed boy's haircuts because that was what I chose, damn it, and may all your beauty standards go straight to hell. I might not have been healthy, and maybe not even happy, but I had one hell of a "fuck you" to shoot past any misguided attempts to take it up with me.

I actually miss me. I haven't dated (or even gone on one date) since I lost weight. It's like my confidence stemmed from the fact that it was ALL I had on the "societal competence" front. Now I have a body that I know my society will accept and perhaps even applaud... and that fact alone makes me want to hide it away. I don't know what to do with it without living in fear of being reduced to a pretty/sexy/hot woman-object. I still have the mind of that 250+ pound butch-ass punk chick, and she's trapped inside a smaller, cute, curvy woman who has to consciously "ugly down" so she doesn't get harassed at work. And I'm learning that a large, super-confident woman is "brave"... but a fit, super-confident woman is a "bitch". What gives? It's disheartening to come such a long way and realize that even though you're the same person, you will be treated differently - and in all the ways you never wanted.

In related news, I'm rejecting these tiresome body ideals and becoming a strongwoman instead. I refuse to sell myself out just so my culture can feel comfortable with the image I present.
