I am over you

seal..if you post youtube links and "free market" think tank articles dressed up as "research" in your mission to discourage universal health care. And yet I post fact check links that show that the material is skewed or taken out of context at best, or outright lying at worst. The level of fear and stupidity is reaching maximum density in political communities in the US.
..if you're a woman who claim that you get along with men better and don't ever analyze your own motives for why that is. These type of girls are mostly, with the rare exception, predictable and, I'm sorry to say, fairly clueless.
...if you're a bureaucrat and sport a lazy brain. Bureaucracy can be a beautiful thing, but when it's lazy it becomes the fictional product of Franz Kafka, and my name becomes Josef K.
...if you're the type of individual who say that you need to "think about yourself and not so much about other people". This usually means that you in reality rarely think about other things than your own arse, and your own arse probably take up a lot of your brain capacity.
...if you're a nerd and claim that girls don't read comics or roleplay or whathaveyou, because girls don't go to conventions as much as guys and dispose themselves to sweaty sexist dipshits.
...if you are a fan of the PUA culture or take part of it.
One week in Sweden, one week of errands and fixing, sporadic internet, many cats (pictures will come later), surreal academic endeavors (last word on this topic isn't said yet), surreal meetings with people from the past, two assholes, one who's just married to one and the rest were all nice encounters. I've started re-watching Babylon 5 on my little portable dvd player late at night when work and social play is done, and it's nice, very nostalgic and still enjoyable in spite of silly moments.

northernveil's and pierson's this afternoon and hanging with hairless cats later, parties and people for a bit, but also a lot of calm a lot of loss and some disappointment. A more explicit and perhaps filtered post may come on a LJ near you in the future.

Date: 2009-09-04 02:13 pm (UTC)Also, I keep telling several of my friends to actually stop thinking so much about other people and save some love for themselves. That's the other end of the spectrum, I guess.

If they themselves constantly tell others that they should stop caring about others, you probably have a lazy, spoiled adult-baby on your hands.

Date: 2009-09-04 06:38 pm (UTC)I used to be one of those girls who got along with guys better, when I was a teenager. It still kind of shames me. I mean, I know it was founded in ignorance and now I know better, but still, the misogyny. Ugh. But I am so endlessly grateful for my friendships with awesome women (like yrself) now, and the trust/understanding/safety that comes along with them.

Date: 2009-09-04 02:21 pm (UTC)I must say this, as I say it everywhere, if the Democrats attempt to push through a bill without a robust public option, but with mandates still in place, I probably won't support the bill, unless I see something like the public option to lower costs. Forcing people to buy expensize insurance is not the way to go. The Finance Committee all ready has the subsidies at 300% of the poverty line, and workign to make it lower. That leaves many families out.

Date: 2009-09-04 02:20 pm (UTC)I used to be one of those. But that was a long while ago, and I didn't really know a lot of really nice females, people like you and Rachel and some other good friends of mine. I had a lot of bad experiences with female "friends", up until a couple of years after I got out of high school. To be fair, in hindsight, my male friends really weren't better; with a couple of exceptions, they were nice to me because I was the "rare" female nerd. (Yes, I read your other comment about that, and it annoys me, too. I really enjoyed an essay someone wrote called, "I'm not a geek for you!")

Date: 2009-09-04 06:34 pm (UTC)But now I'm mostly past that weird awkward defensive teenage stage, and I have girl friends who I find interesting and rewarding. I'm also bit more socially sure of my odd self, so easier to relax and feel less threatened by women who are more into classically feminine pursuits, and I can socialize with them even if they're not the kind of person I'd end up being friend-friends with.

Date: 2009-09-04 06:50 pm (UTC)As an aside, my wife is a woman who gets along better with men, but she is very self-aware, and I assume you are calling out a certain kind of "blindness" in some women rather than suggesting that it's wrong for women to get along better with men as a general rule.

Date: 2009-09-07 03:48 pm (UTC)We've discussed the matter and from what he told me, it comes from being disappointed by male to male social interactions and weary of the competition in masculine culture. I think that's okay, as long as there's awareness, just like it's okay that certain women that got too burned by dysfunctional women groups can have an easier tendency toward male groups...but, it's important for such guys and gals to remember that part of the reason for why they do have an easier time in a group dominated by their opposite sex is not because their opposite sex necessarily is better or more "good", but because they themselves become an exception from certain dynamics in a group dominated by a certain gender.

Date: 2009-09-06 10:47 am (UTC)I sit here in utter confusion, looking at the American media in jaw-dropped disbelief. You can stand and scream "black is white! up is down! left is right!" as loudly as you want, but it doesn't make it so. How can anyone fail to see the emperor has no clothes here? The rest of the world looks at America amazed (not for the first time).
