This week. Yes, I've had plenty of good moments, but overall, I'd have to give it a 2, if we were grading on 10 being BRILLIANT!
There are lots of reasons this is so, and I've picked two, to highlight. First, I've been emotionally wrought, I don't know why, so that's all I'm sayin about that. Second, harrassment. The kind that men do to women, and think that it's "weird" if you don't appreciate the lewd comments, the uninvited attention, the remarks, looks, touches, e-mails, sms's, calls.
Most of the time I keep my head down, avoid eye-contact, and when I'm accosted make it VERY clear that I ain't interested. But, when I try and be better (read happy), that doesn't work too well, and I seem to attract people like a sex-worker attracts STD's. And this week, it's bugged me. A lot. A huge helluva lot, actually.
Men I know, friends, strangers, homeless people, well suited luxury car drivers.... this message is meant for you. I realise that this makes me a bitch in some people's eyes, but I do no, repeat DO THE FUCK NOT appreciate you trying to get into my pants! I AM NOT INTERESTED! As a matter of fact, all your advances does; is PISS ME OFF!
Guess why? Ah pshaw, go-an, guess, betcha don't get it.
(Deep breath)
I am more than a vagina with a body attached to it!
(A chorus of gasps and horrified faces all around)
Yep. Sorry for the shocker guys, but MY VAGINA is NOT INTERESTED. And, should you be one of the stoopid boys that ogled me this week, neither is the rest of me.
Ta.
