I'm a Bitch because I have a habit of engaging my brain and my mouth at high speed. Writing or speaking anything but my honest opinion would be a waste of time and energy.
Yeah, so, I can be blunt,
abrupt, or even rude. I figure people will learn to stop asking for my opinion
if they want to be coddled. Waste somebody else's time and come to me when
you want to get something done.
I never lie just to
save myself from consequences. I find it is far better to take
responsibility for who I am and what I believe in right off the bat. Not
only does it simplify the process of weeding out sleazy bastards, this practice
also reduces the amount of brain-space I have to waste trying to remember which
white lie I told to save someone's feelings or to save face. My own
embarrassment is relatively short-lived, and I'd rather be burned at the stake
publicly than to martyr myself at home. That kind of slow, quiet
death is... exactly why I'm Heartless.
I can say
"been there, done that" to way too many bullets on the Red Flag list. I could
probably write a few more, in fact. But there is no sob story here - my
application to HBI is a victory chant. Bought myself a house, took my dog, took
my shit. Said "See you in hell, I'm out of here!" After
ditching that 200 lbs of dead weight (I'd been providing the sole income for 3
years), I lost 60 lbs of my own. That only matters because it's about me
caring properly for myself for the first time in almost a decade. Yeah, I
stuck around too long, but I'd made a promise, and I do try my best to keep
those. Guess that's the downside of integrity.
All of that
therapy aside, your site has been an integral part of my re-growth of spinal
tissue. It helped to know that I don't stand alone in my thoughts on
politics, feminism, gender stereotypes, and human interactions in general.
I thanked you once before because it became far easier to behave like a
Heartless Bitch once I'd learned what it was I should have been calling myself
all along. Took some practice in the real world, but I'm ready. I think I
can take the lambasting of the Bitchbouncer and still hold my head high.
Bring it on.
