I hate hypocrisy. Why is it that when women tell the truth to men it’s "nagging" or “their irrational opinion” (as if everyone’s perception on every situation isn’t just their opinion!) and is used as an excuse for men to storm off. Yet when men insult women we’re supposed to sit there and take it?! I can’t imagine any women on this site that would put up with that type of bullshit and neither will I. My tenet on men is “See no evil, hear no evil, date no evil.” The first time I was told “You don’t suffer fools gladly do you?” was when I was 18 and I still don’t suffer fools; of either sex. I’m single; strong, smart, successful and I’m a woman, if that offends, I’m not sorry and it was intentional!
At the moment people are quite concerned about H5N1 (a.k.a. bird flu) and H1N1 (a.k.a. swine flu) there’s no vaccine against these viruses; a more pressing matter might be that there is no vaccination against stupidity! I often wish there was button to turn up the intelligence in society, there's a menu option called "brightness" on my monitor, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I find that often people think an increase in volume equates to an increase in intelligence and everyone is entitled to their small, irrelevant and full-of-shit opinion, usually unsubstantiated by any facts. Why is it always the people with the small closed minds that have to open their mouths?
As I grew up I learned that life and people are not like in the Disney films, very little is clear- cut and black and white. Villains’ don’t always twirl moustaches and the “good people” are few and far between. There’s a distinction, that in my experience, people miss between “nice” and “good”. IMHO (in my humble opinion) nice people are polite (sometimes falsely), cautiously spoken and often sheep. A good person, to me, means they might be offensive/downright irreverent, blunt and often stand on your toes, but they’ll tell it how it is and let the chips fall where they may. I’ll take that over “nice” any fucking day!
I like what I’ve seen on this site, I especially like the unadulterated truth and I’m up for the challenge. I know I’ve got what it takes to be a valuable member, I’m an astute, articulate, Bitch with an attitude; who aspires to be more. I have the knowledge that “I am the wisest woman alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing” (slightly adapted from Socrates). The latter of which would hopefully keep me from Newbie-hoof-in-mouth and if not from that stage at the very least would allow me the right attitude to withdraw and reflect “Is that other HB right in this case and am I defending a castle built on sand?” However in the midst of that humility is the confidence of my convictions, after all, people are only wrong; till the next time they’re right, or vice-versa.
