Survival is insufficient.

I Laugh During Sex

“Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.”

“If you’re going to date men, you’re going to be disappointed. A lot of men are disappointing, period. A lot of women are disappointing, too, but it’s easier to remain fundamentally selfish and ignorant of other people’s needs when you’re a man who’s grown up in a patriarchal culture and continues to navigate a patriarchal world. Men can blunder around, barely able to communicate their feelings, barely able to employ even a shred of sensitivity and diplomacy, and people (women and men) in our culture excuse it. In contrast, women are never excused. We aren’t excused for expressing our emotions and we aren’t excused for biting our tongues. We aren’t excused for asserting our needs and we aren’t excused for going with the flow. We aren’t excused for being high-strung and we aren’t excused for being chill. We aren’t excused for being young, or aging, or being single, or being married, or having babies, or not having babies, or doing any fucking thing under the sun. We are assumed to be confused or stupid or ignorant, or we are seen as too smart for our own good, busybodies, smartasses, bitches.”

anyways its been like four days and I have yet to stop laughing even slightly less at ‘OH GROOVE WITH ME BABY’ (THUNK THUNK THUNK) so
