I don't know whether I'm a Heartless Bitch or not yet. But I wholeheartedly agree with your manifesto, I've read almost everything on your site, and it's funny, interesting and incredibly useful (also for a non-native speaker like me, who's trying really hard to speak and write in English properly, but maybe this is not interesting for you).
I don't think that being female entitles me of any special treatment, but I hate the fact that (especially in my country), I'm supposed to work harder than a man to earn 75% of his wage, even when I'm also more qualified, and also supposed to take care of my house and children without any help from him! no, thanks.
I hate that horrible, stupid guys that most of the times aren't even able to wipe their ass correctly feel justified to criticize me for my intelligence, behaviour or appearance. I'm NOT supposed to be America's Next Supermodel to consider myself beautiful, and on a separate note I certainly need NO man to feel complete and fulfilled as a person.
I'm 23, just a step close to my MA degree, I try to read as much as I can, learn, dance, laugh and EXPRESS my feelings. I hate hurting people and being rude, but I'm not ready to give myself and my desires up for someone else's sake. I try to follow the great role models I had been lucky enough to have: my mother and my grandmother, though I'm not always successful. Given al this, I was horribly close to reduce myself exactly to that doormat of a girlfriend you laugh so much about in you site, and reading all your rants and comments was a slap on my face and a good "Hello? Wake up, girl, you have a brain, use it!". That's why I wrote to my fiancée something like "I'm not supposed to change my weight, clothes, timbre of voice, diet or sport to please you. I want to be loved for what I am, not for what I'm not, so if you have anything nice to say, make yourself a cup of shut up", and I'm very proud of that.
I guess this is a good place to remind me who I could be. I'm here to learn. Thank you if you will accept me, and if not, I'll continue to read you site to find inspiration.
