...it's the only way I can get people to back off and stop trying to shoe-horn me into an acceptable version of a forty-something female.
I've been married but marriage doesn't work for me. I ended it and never made the same mistake again. I like living solo, I like living on my own terms. When people insist on trying to fix me up with a bloke, I grow fangs and rip them a new one.
I tried motherhood and no, it isn't different when it's your own, I didn't finally feel complete once I'd become a mother, and no, it wasn't my greatest achievement as a woman. That's why I didn't do it again. For the love of [pick a deity], I wish other woman would stop insisting I'll become a nicer, more fulfilled woman if I'd only settle down and have another baby! (Note: the kid is now a happy, well adjusted adult despite being raised by Roseanne Arnold rather than June Cleaver)
There's a world out there in chaos and it interests me far more than marriage, motherhood, husbands, boyfriends, kids, dating, diets, shopping, shoes, lattes and chick-centric TV shows. No, I don't want to hold babies; no, I don't care that my cow-urkers are broke because they spoil their kids; no, I don't give a shit that their husbands take them for granted; no, I wouldn't rather have one nice partner when I can hang out with a bunch of fabulous guys who make Bitching an art-form rather than an exercise in back-stabbing. And for crying out loud - not that it's anyone's damned business - no, I'm not a lesbian just because I say I don't need "a man" in my life. I like men. I just don't want to live with one.
Feh! This could go on and on but you get the drift. I'll happily wear the tag "Heartless Bitch" if it gets people out of my face and stops them trying to tailor my life to fit their own expectations.
