concerned for humanity

Normally i try to keep the ranting on here to a minimum, but oh my today it's just TOO much!!!

in the last few days i have seen more close-mindedness, self superiority, and flat out bitchy-ness than I've seen in a long time!!!

let start with a status on the lovely facebook (for some reasons today i took the controversial status bait. i never usually participate in silly wars, but i just could not sit this one out. )  that including something like this "females-if you wanna be treated like a slut, dress like one."  now i have a problem with this generality.  first off, the word "slut" is so overused, i mean there is no equivalent to men that is equally as offensive or labels them sexually and ethically like the word slut does.  secondly, i don't care if a woman is wearing the shortest shorts in the world, that should not define who she is. (side note; I know a few very sexually open women who would look "temple worthy" or whatever at first glance; appearances are not what they seem) 

and as far as a woman who does enjoy sex, she MUST be a whore right?? a man can be the biggest "man slut" in town and he is revered, praised even, for his conquests.  but a women who enjoys sex? labeled. dirty, low self esteem, probably has a bad relationship with her father, geeze she probably has an std.  can't possibly be that she knows what she wants and is strong and also enjoys it? nope.

 MANY people went on the say such archaic things like the first, that at one point i swear steam was coming out of my ears. like; "women should be classy and know their place, cooking, cleaning, being faithful (not sure what that means) and OF COURSE being sexy."  so let me get this straight. you can't be a classy together woman unless you do all the dishes, laundry, and feed your big strong man right??  and go ahead and be a lady on the streets then morph into a freak in the sheets.  Gee, i guess rappers had it right the whole time eh?  just go ahead and bend over to the front and touch your toes. but NOT because you want to, or you enjoy it but because your HUSBAND wants you to.(creepiest part is that was written by a woman.) 

another seemingly more intelligent woman (the first could not spell for anything and had horrible grammar.) said that "a women's place is behind a man, to support him." F THAT NOISE. seriously? people still think like this?? and Americans thinks we're so advanced in our men/women relations? false. people have the same outdated misogynistic views that they did in the 50's.

i grew up thinking that a good wife was constantly playing games to pique interest. always had dinner on the table, and should to keep her man satisfied and all that jazz. that is not the kind of relationship i want. i do believe that men and women are equals, maybe that means I'm a weirdo, hippie, feminist; but i think we all deserve the same respect, crazy right. Thank God I'm not from the olden days, I'd probably be taught a lesson with a cane of some sort.

i think its so funny that people live in these alternate realities, where they are the end all be all, and of course the most righteous people on the planet. and anyone who doesn't live like them needs their help! those sinners won't be in heaven otherwise. ugh!! how arrogant! people have all kinds of beliefs, and who's to say that anyone of us is right? we could all die tomorrow and not have the truth ANYWHERE on this planet.  and yet we continue to judge, categorize and excommunicate those who think differently. or feel differently. Heaven help them if they're gay. at least they can't ruin the sanctity of that game we call marriage right?  the naivety of it all just really grinds my gears! 

PS: dear all you caddy ladies out there, we know what you're doing, you're not the first one to play these oh so clever games. pretty sure i saw all of them on mean girls; and they were better at it.  have fun up there on your ivory tower. must be lonely at the top of your own mind.

k, I'm off my soap box now. hopefully there are people out there who agree with me to some point? otherwise I'm moving to Canada. haha
