Weren't We Just Discussing This?

Met up with friends at a local lounge last night. I was the only girl in the group and I was seated on the couch between Kyle and another fellow. At one point, I got up to use the restroom and when I came out, I saw some drunk older woman sitting where I'd been. And the guys were all sitting very still, looking a little tense. I had no clue what the heck was going on. The drunk lady got up, babbled a bit to me, I shook her hand and babbled back and then she wandered off and I sat back down.

Turns out, she came and sat and immediately put her hand on Kyle's thigh. And Kyle picked her hand off him and told her not to touch him. She laughed it off and said something like 'Don't get mean'. But Kyle was pissed. And the other lads began to have a concern that things might get ugly quickly. They didn't, I came back and there you have it.

Kyle kept talking about it on the way home. Short comments like 'I can't believe that bitch touched me', over and over. And I realized - he was genuinely upset by it. And I also realized that I was an idiot for being surprised about that fact.

Kyle said 'I can't imagine being a girl'. We talked about it some more, and he was pretty amazed at how awful it would be if some drunk old man sat down next to a girl and groped her thigh. If the genders had been reversed, it would've been so bad. But, I think it was bad regardless of gender.

He didn't break down and sob, and there was no lasting trauma or whatever. But he didn't like a stranger touching him with familiarity and he didn't like her playing it off like he was the bad one for not accepting or reciprocating it. And both of us seemed preconditioned to laugh and forget about it or not care that it happened, and when Kyle kept mentioning it because it was genuinely bothering him, we both realized that such preconditioning doesn't hold water.

So, now that's two instances of women forcing their shit onto people who didn't ask for it. The one from yesterday pisses me off on a higher level because she's doing what she's protesting against. But both are gross.

Fuck You Whore

I saw this on a friend's Facebook.

THIS PISSES ME OFF.

When a guy exposes himself to strangers, it's a traumatizing, reprehensible, vile thing.

When this whore does it, it's Feminism and Anti-Body Shaming and A Fierce Statement About Rape.

Fuck you. You don't speak for me. You aren't all women. I refuse to be represented by someone who feels it's okay to force her naked stupid gross exhibitionist crap on the public. I don't want to see a random guy's dick; I don't want to see your nasty taped titties and your smug little smirk. Put some goddamn clothes on and have the same respect for those who don't want you to force your tits on them that you supposedly do for the women you think you know who don't want to be sexually harassed.

Nobody around you, unless you fucking polled each person in whatever downtown you're skanky ass is in, asked to see your tit-diatribe. You just did EXACTLY what you're protesting.

Stop being a whore. I am ashamed to share a gender with you.
