So, what has me so mad, you ask? Finding out about these damn polygamist bastards that were found in Texas... Texas, go figure. Ok, that was out of line, but it follows my watching The Family Guy the other night, and the most conservative state in the country was discussed... But, not only is this friekin' religious cult compound a TRAVESTY to population control, but it's the breeding of sexism, pedophilia, and just plain masogonistic bastardness! I've got a solution for these sons of you-know-whatches... Put me and my pissiness, complete with cut hair and pants (OH NO, how UNGODLY!) in a room with 'em and we'll fix 'em up real good... and I think you and your pets all know exactly what I mean about FIXING!
You know, I have thought many a time that women today with their visions of fashion and beauty as being the "keys to self" are doing themselves a disservice, but it's very hard to actually contemplate the fact that this slavery, disrespect and pigheaded control actually still exists in AMERICA, but I know it does. I can't imagine any woman allowing herself to be treated like livestock. Talk about FACTORY FARMING??? And I think it's sickening with cows and chickens!! And, no offense to those religious-types out there, but our puritanical past definitely doesn't help. I've never met an overly-religious man who didn't treat me like pond-scum. And newsflash, you all look like complete asses!!! Of course... the Bible... an antiquated document written by men with certain... shall we say, leanings in their mind-sets about women... is of course timeless and full of truths... Yeah, people... just think about that! And one article I read about this incident in Texas actually used the term, "idyllic replica of 19th-century life." WTF???????? On what plane of reality was 19th-century life idyllic????????? Maybe for white men it was! There was a time in which women were fighting against these ideas of themselves as holy baby-popping vessels, pieces of flesh that men take control of, ravage, get their ideal male "heirs" and then dispose of like trash! But look at what we're doing to ourselves again? We have plastic surgeons take away the unwanted parts, swap everything on our faces around till we look like jigsaw puzzles with puffy lips, and then have oozy jello squeezed into our breasts. And for what??? Because the only thing we feel like we have to offer is our body... and the only way to get a man (and who the hell REALLY needs one of those, anyway??? Come on, ladies!!!) is to look like a mutant... because, hey, that's what men want these days, big-breasted mutants with pea-sized brains. Maybe Mary Wollstonecraft, Virginia Woolf and, even Betty Friedan, were a little bit more proper with their arguments than I am, but hell! I'm sick of seeing you all do it to yourselves! Who gives a shit what your lame-ass boyfriend says about your boobs! You've become a whiny, plastic Barbie-wannabe who forgot you have a brain a long time ago, and that PISSES ME OFF, because the rest of the sex has to take the rap for you! So, go read something besides Cosmo and realize that the most important thing in life is NOT which pair of shoes match your new $500 outfit the best! You are choosing to live the life of a slave when there are these poor women being forced to, even in our own damn country! So the next time some shitty polygamist gets bagged for forcing women into slavery, think about what your own actions are doing to help other women who happen to be fully-capable, highly valuable, and extremely intelligent. And next time Paris Hilton is on the non-news news channel, change it to something worth watching! Don't mess it all up for the rest of us! *Whew... that felt good...* Sorry if I offended... NOT! It's about time all of us women stopped apologizing for having ideas, so screw you all...
The ever-so non-fashionable woman with ideas and a chip on her shoulder,
Amy

Hmmm, not in such a good mood today I see? That's okay, I thought you made some good points, though as you put it yourself Betty Friedan probably would have put it more delicately. :) I definitely agree with you that women are headed in the wrong direction and a lot of the ideas people have about women have changed very little. Just this year I have had debates with women who believe that a woman is incapable of leading a country, She's too emotional, they say. Of course these people really weren't all that smart. I quickly countered with, "Then how do you explain Hatshepsut, Catherine the Great, Elizabeth I, or Madeleine Albright?" Well their eyes glazed over, which told me immediately they had absolutely no clue who any of those women were, which gave me great satisfaction. Not only are women headed in the wrong direction I think this whole country is headed in the wrong direction. Do you know that our generation, the children of the baby boomers, will be the first generation in history to be worse off than our parents? That's because our parents grew up in this little artificial bubble of prosperity created by the flattening of all of our country's competition in World War II. And the systems set up after WWII such as healthcare, Social Security and what-not are now in a state of cardiac arrest. And the sad thing is that all of those things that are being taken away from us such as retirment, Social Security, and just flat out getting benefits of any kind whether from a job or anywhere else are being taken away from us BY our parent's generation. Who knew that I would find myself envying those people who enjoyed the days of the doctor with the little black bag who came to your house and let you pay him in chickens. At least that doctor actually gave a shit about you as a person. And he actually cared about the wellbeing of your family. I can not tell you how many times a doctor has pissed me off. There is no such thing as bedside manner anymore. You are a number. They want to get you in and out as quickly as possible and they keep you on a need to know basis, which basically means you don't need to know. Don't dare to ask them a question! And of course everything that is wrong with you can of course be cured by losing weight. "Oh, you have a splinter in your finger...hmmm...you know what would really help that problem is for you to lose weight. HOW?! And don't even get me started on insurance companies which I truly believe are the root of all evil and which are keeping us from actually being the greatest nation on earth, a sentiment I hear repeated over and over again. (GASP) Yes, I just said that we are not the greatest country on earth and until everyone who needs healthcare gets it we will not be. I am here to tell you that I am 26 years old and uninsurable because I went to the doctor when I was a kid and had a couple of surgeries. It doesn't matter that what I had surgery for isn't a problem anymore. I've used healthcare therefore I don't deserve to have insurance. Well, if I had a dick I would politely invite them to suck it. So though I intended to just make a little comment about your rant fest Miss Amy I inadvertently went on a rantfest of my own and you know it really is quite nice. And while we're at it I would like to say I applaud Hillary Clinton for getting as far as she has in this election. I would love to see a woman become president. Men sure have done a great job of f#%$ing things up, especially over the last eight years. But even if she doesn't win everyone pray that Barack Obama does because if we get four more years of Shrubesque policies you can just kiss the US of A goodbye. Or at least I will because I'll be trying to find a job in Canada.
Here here! Much more eloquant than my little rant, sis! I'm a bit calmer today as I'm listening to the beautiful sentimental lyrics of Nickel Creek right now. *sigh* Like yoga for the ears. Maybe I'll write more later. Peace, smitty.
