be_themoonIF YOU PUNCH HIM DOES HE SHUT UP?
... sorry, I just got a little... outraged there. Possibly more than a little. Possibly a LOT. Okay, more than a lot. But REALLY. No jokes are offensive? Women should shut up and make babies? Feminism is EVIL? He doesn't even know what it is! Also, what the hell, women talking about pay discrimination are saying men doing the same jobs as them are getting paid more. This is important. Try to not be a misogynist jerk, okay? It makes me angry. Also, I'm tired of people outside various communities (fandom, feminism, etc.) making really stupid assumptions about them and saying they know everything about them.
Wait, what? Did he just... did he really? Oh, I will kill his dead. He claims that sexual harassment either doesn't actually exist or is because men aren't actually sexist (he's a bit confusing to read). I will kill him with fire. This is kind of relevant to me because the new job Mary has taken is working with a lot of men, and Matt (who is the Supervisor basically on the job) warned her that she would have to make sure she didn't look too nice or they would probably harass her. It's a problem, okay, and it is not cool that Mary had to go looking specifically for clothes that wouldn't emphasize any parts of her figure. Basically, t-shirts and loose jeans. I am extremely unimpressed with his stand, and would like to -
*deep breaths*
In more cheerful subjects, I have taken my first college class! Currently I'm hanging out in the library because we worked out my schedule so that I could come with my mom (who teaches here) and my class on Monday nights gets out about an hour and a half before hers.
Also, I slept last night! Hooray.
Mary drove off to St. Petersburg this afternoon, but I'm not particularly sad because both she and Matt are coming up this weekend for two days. I am really really pleased. Also, Matt has acquired a Southern accent. I pointed this out to him while we were on the phone and he said 'Oh yeah, people keep saying that to me!' Heh.
Feeling less rage-y now. Going to ... I dunno. I'll find something to do for an hour. I have a computer!
