People who live by the theory that "If you don't know, it won't hurt you". How the hell WON'T it hurt me? It's hurting me by unknowingly being with a lying piece of shit, when I could be single or with someone else worth my time.
Passive-aggressives. Just tell the other person you are pissed and WHY.
Guys who want to have sex with me or any other woman but who, even though it is blatantly obvious to everyone that that's what's going on, will NOT just come out and ask, but instead keep 'maneuvering' to get closer or get her alone while preserving their deniability -- so that if the woman says 'no thanks' before he lays a hand on her he can accuse her of being on an ego trip for thinking he wanted to sleep with her, and if she waits until he does, so that she has 'proof', he can do that whole 'you led me on'
guilt-trip.
Especially especially especially when they pull it on really young women, whose socialization is still totally on the guy's side, and who don't have enough personal experience to cope well.
I hereby offer the men of this planet a deal -- if you will ask nicely,
I will either say "yes," or "no," or "not now, but you can ask again in a few weeks if you want", or "maybe, but not now -- I'll let you know if I
want to, and if you're still interested, great". In other words, I will say something clear and informative -- and I will say it nicely. Face-savingly. Politely -- and quietly enough that it remains a private discussion.
Pull the passive-aggressive setting-up-for-a-shot-at-date-rape shit, and I will go out of my way to sexually humiliate you so badly you will have to change planets.
Smug, imperious bastards who will NEVER admit that they were mistaken or did anything wrong, not even if it's glaringly obvious and pointed out to them by multiple people, and whose reaction when you are justifiably angry with them is to get more and more and more superior and amused until you have to drop the subject and walk away before you literally kill them! GAAAAH!!!
Men who make claims of 'hating typical jerk men' and 'identifying much more strongly with women' who then proceed to act like a 'typical jerk man' at every opportunity.
Men who feel 'cheated' because they're not dating someone who looks like a supermodel. Especially those who turn around and take their frustrations out on a girlfriend who honestly cares for them.
Girlfriends who put up with this sort of treatment.
Barbie dolls, enough said.
The way the justice system treats rape, i.e. not like a real crime. If someone consciously decides to hurt me, they'll at least try,
regardless of whether or not I "put myself in a vulnerable position."
Porno sites that have pictures of 14-year-old girls. And we wonder why
teenage parenthood is so prevalent.
My (male) friend who told me I shouldn't cut my hair off - it was past my hips at the time - because it was so unique & got so much attention. Why would I WANT attention from random strangers asking how long does it take to dry, and telling me Crystal Gayle's hair touches the floor (as if I give a rat's ass).
A friend of mine recently said to me, "If I didn't have a girlfriend, I
probably would have asked you out by now." Wow, thanks Mr. Popular.
I'm so flattered to be that high on your list. I pity his current girlfriend;
that relationship must be really healthy if he's already planning who to
date next. Hopefully she'll dump him soon so I can have the pleasure of
turning the loser down flat.
People who cannot grasp a simple concept because it's not what they're
used to. The world exists beyond your little view honey.
Hair in the sink or shower. Or in my food. Need I elaborate?
Beer. Who decided that lukewarm piss was an acceptable drink?
Men who assume because I am a free thinker and often unconventional I don't want or appreciate some of the rituals of life. When I choose to go with a tradition I want to enjoy it fully. So yes, I am completely pissed off at being proposed to in my nightgown in the hallway of my house without even a flower or a poem. Hello, there was a potential bubblebath 10 feet away. Have some class... Oh yeah and guys who hit women for ANY reason.
