It's funny, I watch people around me and notice their irritability and hw small that threshold is before they're pissed off. Nobody seems to be able to tolerate each other and end up releasing their bottled up feelings to everybody else but the person who's bothering them. Here, I just sit back and watch the show because I'm the most apathetic person you'll ever meet. Now it's not the bad type of apathy; it's not like I'm passive and allow myself to be stepped on and viciously attacked. No. It's the type of apathy where I'm not bothered by hatred and insults and immature assholes who like to instigate. Honestly, it takes a lot to push me to the brink.
High school. I don't take it seriously. How full of shit is this place? It's like shit everywhere, shit raining in the halls, shit falling from lockers. Shit coming out of mouths. It's not a place that's worth your insecurities, your anger, or your tears. Why don't you people just calm yourselves? Friendships and relationships are nothing in the arena of high school. You're in an educational facillity full of hormonal teenagers that usually: a) if you're a girl, you're a bitch or hella emotional, or b) if you're a guy, you're a fucking horny bastard whose dick seems pretty awake all the time. Everyone hates each other from time to time, and everyone wants to love each other from time to time. Then you get out into the real world, and nothing is like the halls of your high school or what you've seen in this controlled experiment. So what happens to you during these years...who gives a fuck?
Gender Equality. I haven't really talked about feminism for a while. Last I checked, I was up for pointing out problems in society but never offering a valid solution. Truth is, I don't know what to say about the word "men" being in womyn; but I can say these things will eventually get better when society plans to evolve. But hey, time for a little rant eh? I'm just so tired of it. I'm tired of constantly seeing opinions pushed to the side due to the difference in genitalia. Since when is it okay for someone to invalidate my claim unless it's completely ridiculous? When women are given equal opportunity in the workplace, the educational system, the world, we have achieved another milestone and things will only go up from there. Shit, my vagina shouldn't make it so that I have a lower chance of being in the profession I want or entitle me to less pay than a man. It's the social attitudes and ignorant views of female ability that we need to change, and that can only be done through education. I can't stress enough how passing on knowledge is key in this movement. Society needs to be able to identify that there is, in fact, a problem with sexism - and it's present in our everyday lives. People need to see and hear and feel the injustices that women go through and realize (in the most eloquent way possible) "this is some fucked up shit." You see someone being mistreated for their vagina? Get angry, get angry at this sexist bastard and teach him a lesson about what it's like to be a female. At this stage, problems can be fixed through the spread of the word and the consciousness of actions and attitudes around us. Now, I don't want everyone to be a man-hating, pissed off person, so gender equality is the more ideal aim if we want to live in harmony. Fighting fire with fire? Eh, I'm not so sure.
