Liberal Debutante

Since I’ve been here in New York, Alon has gotten me addicted to these Hershey’s milk chocolate nugget things. (Minus the salomnella.) The only reason I want to go home is so that I can become readdicted to pickles. I miss my pickles. But thats not a good enough reason to head home so I called up the travel agent and was like "yo, book me longer" so he did, and I will remain in New York until Monday. …"But all you do is bitch about him!?" …THat’s the only time I get to write about him - is when Im pissed! haha, if I’m not mad at him, I’m concentrating on HIM, not my blog. heh. But really, I’m starting to get used to the whole "not-exisiting-for-three-hours-while-alon-blogs" thing. That doesn’t mean I get any less bored, it just means I’ve learned to just leave and go shopping.

Another reason I’m not all that excited or willing to head back home - the weather here is much better than the weather there.

Speaking of shopping - the H&M that I’ve found here in New York sort of sucks. I don’t know if its because Euro-fashion caters differently to New Yorkers, or if that H&M just blows. But this has prevented me from going twice in the past 2 days, and I plan on going again in an hour. (But with direct intentions of a needed purchase… no browsing, that gives me a headache.)

Apparently the slut-shaming has gotten to hot for skatje, so she’s just going on the defensive, mean and run-away side, which even further validates my sneaking suspicion that she has no real argument towards the matter at hand. She’s taking the good ‘ol "I’m more hurt than you right now, so you can’t possibly understand what I’m going through, so you’re the horrible person in all of this" route.

…That’s fine

…but WHY is it a bad thing to sleep with people you don’t love? I don’t care about her emo problems, I care about the matter at hand. I could understand if her and this fellow were together at the time of the conversation - but as Alon points out, not only does she already have a new boyfriend, she broke up with this one over a month ago. *shrugs* again, I don’t care about her emo problems, I was looking for an actual conversation about sex and love - but instead I got trolly slander that wasn’t even GOOD trolly slander.

Not only is she taking that road - she’s taking it and not letting me respond anymore - she has locked this comment thread where she basically threw a knife then ran. I really don’t understand this hit and run tactic.

1. Gee, skatje, no one was trying to tell you to stop your asshatty ways; they were just -expressing their disapproval.-

   That said, I’ve only just encountered you, and yet, based on what i’ve seen thus far:

   don’t let the door hit you, really.

   I’m sure it’s for valid real life reasons anyway, right?  I mean
   clearly you’re not hypersensitive like all those other people wittering
   on about their -feelings,- right?

   :’( :’( :’( Don’t call me an asshat! That’s like calling a black person a nigger! omggoggg!

   But in seriousness, the drama stuff with that is irrelevant. Don’t speak unless you actually have a clue what this is about.

3. she does have a clue. i brought her up to speed as she has one
   of the best feminist opinions on sex and relationships and I wanted her
   take on the that has happened.

   YOU don’t have a clue either. I don’t care that you threw a fit.
   There’s a lot more stuff going on in my life than your little boo-hoo
   about being called a mean name.

I *tried* to say:

I threw a fit? …Hmm. Other way around, me thinkith. I remained level headed while you went bananas on all of us. But, okiedokie. Silly me - I thought we were discussing an issue on sex and love - not your personal emo life. I dont know how many times i have to say it - I don’t care that you called me a slut, I really don’t. I’ve been called worse. I’ve just been looking for a logical reason as to why.

Only to find that it had been locked so that Skatje doesn’t have to take les heat anymore.

I understand that girls obviously got some emotional problems - but its not like she’s the only person in the world with them, or like hers are any worse than what everyone else on the fucking planet goes through. Whaaateves. I’m done with this - thanks to Belledame222 for the back up and info on the word slut.

Moving along…

Since taking Pat’s advice and just increasing violence against men instead of lowering that which is against women probably won’t have a very good outcome, I thought I should point everyone towards Faith’s blog which has an exremely extensive collection of thoughts on abuse towards all kinds of women. From abuse of older women - to genital mutilation.

I meant to link to this Pandagon post yesterday, but didn’t get around to it. Hardy har. this is why I’ll never got on exchange. With my luck I’d get a host family that wanted me home every night by 9 and would check my breath to see if I’d be smoking or drinking and check my vag to see if I had been turned on by something. When my ex - Reid when to Turkey for his exchange he got a reallly great host family… that almost made me reconsider it, but only for a few moment.
