I'm just pissed off lately.

Mostly due to the fact that it seems like I can't say anything anymore, because whenever I do, about a hundred people jump down my throat about it. I'm not allowed to have opinions or something, because apparently everything I think is wrong and everyone feels the need to repeatedly tell me that I should just go die or something.

Like, I commented on a webcomic, I was like "Man, I hate guys, that attitude is such bullshit", and the author proceeded to lecture me on how saying that represents myself poorly, and I TRIED to argue back that my own past experiences shape my opinion, and telling me that it represents myself in a bad way really isn't going to do either of us any good; it actually represents those who shaped my opinion poorly, and he should go b***h at them about it because they made me think the way that I do. And yes, actually, sometimes I do hate men. There's entirely too much drama that goes on with guys that I can't stand. I never said though, that I didn't hate women either, but apparently because whatever the female characters were doing wasn't something that I disagreed with, it made me a man-hating feminist who deserves to be chastised thoroughly for having a different opinion than the author. If you don't want people to comment on your work, then remove the ability to.

Or earlier, I was talking about how I didn't get much sleep last night, because I had to call the police about some people who were getting high outside my window and generally being obnoxiously loud (to the point where others were shouting out their windows for them to shut up, it was 3am, and people wanted to sleep), and that my roommate brought home yet another one of her strays to ******** while I was in the same room. Well, one of the people I was complaining to was like "Oh, you poor thing" in a completely sarcastic way; she's an art student who gets an average of six hours of sleep a week because of all her projects. Well, I didn't make her become an art student, and I'd really appreciate the chance to b***h about something without having it become a bigger d**k contest. Yeah, things suck for you too, but I hear about that only a hundred times a week. This is the first time I get to complain about something, and you want to tell me I need to shut up?

Jesus Christ, I'm just so sick of it. Am I an easy target or something?

That is a long rant.

And I think you are ttly (read: tee - tee - ehl - wai, man) justified in being pissed.

And I think it's worse to get to sleep at 3a if the time from like 10p - 3a when you were originally trying to sleep is just doing nothing, than it is to take those 5 hours doing work. If you're an art student, you should enjoy doing art.
So which is worse, 5 hours of trying to sleep, or 5 hours of doing your favorite thing in the world.

Yeah I completely understand you.
Some people just answer back even if they don't disagree with what you say they just have to give you mouth for the heck of it. confused

I'm tired of these ******** people on my ******** planet! XD Oh, Sam Ell.

I had been working for those five hours, I had an op ed due this morning that I was trying to finish (and back up my statements with facts, like how unhealthy it is to try to model yourself after a Barbie doll because she wouldn't have the necessary body fat to have a healthy reproductive cycle, according to studies by doctors in Finland)

@midd ~ Yes. And those some people should just go jump off a cliff. >_< Removing themselves from the gene pool altogether would make the world a better place.
Though according to my therapist, who I discussed all this today with, she said that while it's understandable to want this to happen, it's probably illegal to help them there. Damn.

The thing is, saying something like "I hate men," sounds really bad, because there are a lot of guys out there that aren't that bad.
Yea, there are a lot that are, believe me I've had some pretty terrible experiences, but when you group people like that, that's really bigoted, and that's stereotypical.
If you'd said, "I hate guys like that," then I doubt the author would have had a problem.

But yea tell the art student to go ******** herself with a paint brush.

The thing is, right after that I stated why I said it, because of the personality shown and that I actually hated all people who had that personality type. Yet he continued to jump down my throat about it.

Well I think you have every right to rant and the fact that someone that you often listen to won't listen to you really sucks. The art girl can drop off a cliff.

As for the guy comment, I have to side with Apoc on that one...I know a lot of guys that would find that offensive.

Well I see how much you are pissed off. I totally agree. Guys can be dicks, myself included, though not that often, and I think that kind of dude is a jerk.
However, you and him both have freedom of speech. Its just how you use it. You can either be nice, or you can be a cold hearted d**k, whose life revolves around making the world darker for others.

Its kinda like how, even though you have the freedom of speech, you can't just go and yell "FIRE!!!" in a crowded room, and expect to remain unpunished.

You have every right to your opinion. Even if it's not the popular opinion you have the right to think it. Always fight back, never let them win. I'll fight the good fight with you now and then if you like. I love a good argument, so I thrive on it <3

Unless you're running around being racist and, like.... evil. Then I might not be supportive. So long as you hurt no one you can have any opinion you want.

Of course, all of that you already knew <3

Either way, I luffles you.

But because of how you worded it, with the hating guys part first, that makes it seem like you think all guys have that personality.
It's just the way it was said.

I realize that. I realized that on Monday when this happened. You're saying the same thing the guy I was arguing with said. I acknowledged that I could have worded it better, but I still stood by my opinion.

And like TI said, I'm not acting on it. I'm not going out and burning down frat houses. Just hold an opinion that isn't very high when it comes to a fraction of the male population. I'm not doing anything, I'm just occasionally bringing up the fact that my opinion is different than the others in a group.

Otherwise, if I am, then you saying that bitched at you about it was a vast overstatement.
I was just saying why someone would get upset over that.
I'm not trying to argue with you or anything.

You are, seeing as how he laid out the same steps of how it was bigoted of me and I'm grouping it all together. You put it in a bit of a nicer way than he did. Trust me, he laid out why he was upset at me while bitching me out about it.
I'm not trying to start a fight either, I'm just trying to defend myself and not cause all sorts of unnecessary drama. We've had enough of that.
