Fucking Vampires
Your
phone rings and you reel with apprehension. It's "them again", and you
are about to be drained by a person who cannot deal with their own
emotions. Sometimes this is completely justified: your friend or loved
one is suffering a deep phase of grief from a traumatic event. But in
this case, its just a histrionic vampire coming to feed.
Their
reasons for being distraught are likely by-products of their own lack
of self-awareness. "Woe is me!" "Nobody likes me!" "Why doesn't anyone
care!?" All common sentiments bellowed out by this crowd. Personal
responsibility is a foreign concept to them, and they will find any
excuse not look in the mirror.
Its best to disengage all communication as quickly and tactfully as
possible. Politeness is an act of self-preservation on your part. Plenty
of vampires have strong suicidal urges,* coupled with a ceaseless
belief that the world owes them for their shitty lot in life . This can
lead to a homicidal ideation that's comprised of a desire to take out
those who have "wronged them" before they themselves seek oblivion. This
is, of course, the worst case scenario. Some of them simply crave
drama. You do not want to give them fodder for such a thing, still, as
it will more require you to expend even more precious energy on an
undeserving individual.
You
may be under the delusion that you can help these people by "being
there". However, in all reality, you simply can't. There is nothing you
can do because they refuse change. Being their victim will only result
in a fruitless martyrdom.
Move along and be free of their bullshit.
"Many
people who walk the earth practice the fine art of making others feel
responsible and even indebted to them, without cause. Satanism observes
these leeches in their true light. Psychic vampires are individuals who
drain others of their vital energy. This type of person can be found in
all avenues of society. They fill no useful purpose in our lives, and
are neither love objects nor true friends. Yet we feel responsible to the psychic vampire without knowing why." - Anton LaVey

"Disrespecting" Myself
I have heard it many times before, the accusation that if one is too promiscuous or prideful of their body in a sexual context that they do not respect themselves.
The problem I find with this argument is fairly simple: How I am or any other woman for that matter "disrespecting" ourselves by exercising sexual expression and seeking pleasurable experiences in this context? Its as if those using this argument believe that we cannot possibly be doing these things simply because we have needs of a sexual nature.
There are also those that try to justify this finger-wagging bullshit by using recent studies done within the field of evolutionary psychology - but these people seemed to have missed the nuances within the studies themselves. Coupled with the fact that the field itself has garnered much criticism due to a lack of proper testability renders this defense almost completely moot.
But at the end of the day, its really none of your fucking business what goes on in any other bedroom but your own and the moralistic bullshit that fuels this attitude seems shallow and baseless in nature. I seek pleasure because it makes me happy, not because I lack respect for myself. What I seek may not be what you seek but you don't see me calling you a prude now do you?

Jealousy
Jealously can be a productive emotion if one decides to harness its powers. It has the potential to push one beyond their perceived limitations. It can be a catalyst for self-improvement as it highlights what you yourself lack by viewing those qualities in another person. It drives the desire to obtain said qualities, if one is willing to accept the challenge.
The lazy and thoughtless tend squander this useful feeling by taking it out on the object of their jealousy. Not only is this an impotent projection of your own bullshit onto another person, its downright WASTEFUL. You can express this emotion by doing something that makes you BETTER, not by tearing down others. Tearing down others will only make you look like a hateful lunatic at the end of the day. It does not benefit anyone.
So hold your tongue and prepare to grow in your greenness the next time you feel that bile rising in your throat. Be productive, not destructive!

Keep Calm And Rape - Fucking Fucktards!
So I am sure most of you have heard about this whole t-shirt debacle. But have you paid attention to the responses to it? Because I have to say to my fellow feminists, you gals dropped the fucking ball on this one. You seriously believed that gold bomb thought they would get away with some shit like this? This is one of those things that you have to WANT to believe was done with malicious intent in order for it to ring true within your obviously numb skull! This was a production error! What the fuck do you want assholes?!?!?!?!?
Here are a few comments about the shirts as found on the Guerrilla Feminist facebook page about the matter. I even chimed in with a link to a blog post (which is in the red on Web Of Trust because some of you assholes decided to make a witch hunt of this) that explains the process of making these t-shirts, but unfortunately the majority of people don't do logic too well. I'll admit, I probably have more faith in individual feminists than they are due - but shit like this is slowly killing that faith. I should really think about ridding myself of this bias because after all, you are all still stupid fucking humans :
Do you want a cookie asshole?
This was her response to my posting a link to the blog I linked to above. She got more likes than me because WHAT THE FUCK YOU IDIOT?!?!?!?
You're butthurt because a technical blip made t-shirts that advocate violence SUPPOSEDLY against women, but dead BOYS are okay in your book because all of them are rapists anyway, right!?! WRONG. Bet you though you were being really cute with this comment too. You ALSO got more likes than me too - wtf?
Men think about RAPE all the time? Do you realize how insanely misandrist this comment is? Bitch, you are making us look bad! FUCK YOU!
IT WASN'T EVEN INTENDED TO SAY WHAT HAS OFFENDED YOU SO! And would you seriously rather live in a world where people are censored? Cause thats not the kind of world I want to live in.
You know the difference between NOUNS and VERBS? I am betting not.
Please apply some fucking logic to your opinions. Also, I am sick to DEATH of answering for stupid CUNTS like you when I tell people I am a feminist. And yes I called you cunts because I know it will make you mad.

Gender Differences
One of the most perplexing opinions about feminism EVAR:
"Men and women aren't the same! They can't do the same things EVER. Why doesn't feminism recognize this?!"
Okay dipshit, here's where your stupid: WE DO RECOGNIZE THE VERY OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GENDERS. Do you sincerely believe that we are so dense as to not notice them?
The nuance missing from your opinion is one that is fairly simple to understand. Can you see the logical fallacy in this statement and still hold the opinion above?
"If men are typically taller than women, than all men are taller than all women."
Physically impossible correct? I just disproved your shit. Men and women are not cookie cut according to assigned gender at birth! There are any number of attributes a single person can have and you want me to believe they can only have them from one pool based on gender alone? How fucking small minded can you be?!?

Anrachism and Feminism - A Copy & Paste Blog Post
Anarchy101 is a site that allows you post questions you may have about anarchy and have them answered by a knowledgeable community. I read this question and found an epic reply to said question that I just had to share:
QUESTION: "What's the correlation between the two? I've heard some a-feminists say all anarchists are (or should be) feminists. Is patriarchy really that prevalent or that big of a problem?
Feminism just seems like a whiny way of saying women need to be treated equally, but yet different and even better than men. Please relieve me of my ignorance."
EPIC ANSWER: " first - this question seems to be trolling, both in its language and in its content. but since this topic hasn't been fleshed out here much, i will continue on the premise of good faith. for the moment. this answer is not going to be a tome, so it doesn't go into sufficient detail about the complexities around gender vs sex, etc... which if the questioner actually *cares* about this question, would be worthwhile to look into.
a. patriarchy is in fact that big of a problem. women (and women-identified people, which includes tons of people, including entirely straight men in certain contexts) are still attacked as women, paid significantly less then men for same type of work, devalued in many levels of society (politics, etc), ignored, trivialized, etc.
that is just on the bare surface level. if you consider patriarchy to be the thing that keeps us locked in gender binary, which many feminists (and anarchists) do, then the fact that most of us don't get to have the kinds of relationships that we want, or be the people we want to be, regardless of our gender/sex, is based on patriarchy.
b. there are as many kinds of feminists as there are of anarchists (probably more, actually).
c. since on one level feminists are saying that the standard way of doing things is a problem because of inherited and recreated hierarchies that don't allow people our full expression, then yes, feminism and anarchy can be seen as intimately related. on the other hand, some feminists just want there to be more women in government, so those feminists have nothing in common with anarchists.
d. calling feminists whiny makes me want to hit you in the face.
e. while identity politics (the idea that a particular identity is a fundamental issue that is worth organizing around - and *can be* organized around) has a lot of problems and weaknesses, it is one of the easiest ways to (start to) look at many of the inequities of the system we live in. many people get to that stage and make a home there, replicating power trips that mirror (as in reverse-image) the dynamics in the larger society. those people are particularly prone to contradictions in what they are asking for (treat me the same *and* treat me different). however sometimes what appear to be contradictions are taking into account the different contexts of women and men. for example, what self-defense looks like for women vs what it looks like for men can be significantly different, since women and men are mostly socialized with diametrically opposed understandings of physical violence."
