And, just for fun...Bitchology

Post #220,340 by imqwerky 8/21/05 8:29:05 PM Reply	And, just for fun...Bitchology When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch. When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.. When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch. Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me. When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch. The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish. It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be. I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that! So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to quash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed. And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. Perhaps I should embrace the title and be proud to bear it.

I have found your breed fascinating and entertaining ever since I was about 4 years old (my personal age of reason). The interesting part is that the feeling was mutual because I always had more male friends than female and still do to this day. Apparently, in my younger days, the girls felt threatened by my friendships with boys (oh, Brother!) Only in my adult life have I found friendships with women to be satisfying. I guess it has something to do with joining the "Mom Club" and also finding other women who are not afraid to be themselves, rather than those who prefer to live by the same old tired paradigm of the Rah-Rah (read Cheerleader in high school) mentality. I'm honored that the thought didn't cross your mind. Otherwise, Critter would've had to kick your ass. :-D BTW, how old/young are you? I'm 43. Just wondering what generation to which you are referring.

Victim mentality. Oy Vey! (eyes rolling). But I guess it has to do with their parents. Surviving a Depression can really put a family to the test and establish values that are severe to say the least. Only now (3 years after my dad's passing) does mom realize how much of her misery was her own doing. Regret consumes her. Pity.
