I hate that they accept the privileged status that accompanies being married to a man.
I hate that they sexualize themselves with make-up and clothing choices as a matter of routine.

Do I hate men?
Yes, generally speaking, I do.
I hate the way they take up more physical space than necessary, sprawling over the confines of their chairs, elbowing the people beside them.
I hate the way they take up more conversational space, speaking slowly, repeating themselves, and making irrelevant comments that derail the discussion.

I’m too drunk. No I’m not.
According to the Canadian Criminal Code, (self-induced) intoxication is no defence against charges of assault (33.1): if you’re drunk, you’re still able to form the general intent to commit said assault.

In a late-breaking story, Caitlyn Jenner now says she’s black.
In a late-breaking story, Caitlyn Jenner now says she’s black.
“Deep down inside, I’ve always felt like a black,” she confessed, smiling at the cameras despite recent surgery that has left her lips overly puffy. Her nose will be widened in a subsequent surgery, and she has already begun skin dye treatments. “I can’t wait …

The Portrait, by Chris Wind
The Portrait, by Chris Wind (from Deare Sister)
My dearest Nannerl,
Of course you have a right to be upset about the portrait. After all, you performed right alongside your brother; in fact, your father had the bills printed to read “Two World Wonders.” Two, not one. You were with Wolfgang on the 1762 tour …

The APA is so fucked up.
Why Are Some People Transgender? an APA pamphlet [1] asks.
Their answer? “Many experts believe that biological factors such as genetic influences and prenatal hormone levels, early experiences, and experiences later in adolescence or adulthood may all contribute to the development of transgender identities.”
