Had a talk with my mom over a hungover brunch. I kept on ranting about something, a recent occurrence that managed to piss me off, and I kept on bitching about it. I also made the disclaimer that maybe the attitude was something that arose from an irrational anger on thine own. But, as my mother succinctly put it, "You're not angry because of the situation, you're angry because you think like a feminist. You do not like the way * represents women, nor do you think it helpful for *'s attitude to give way to that present notion of women. * can do what it wants, but its doing's implication is what's bugging you." And it struck me like thunder, because I cannot believe * would actually stoop to that level. Or maybe it has been such a long time I was exposed to their kind.
Thanks mom, I needed that.
