It’s so normalized, they teach it to us from birth. Some people live their entire lives never seeing an issue with the images above.

I agree, it’s a no-brainer that we should have the right to marry. But I also think, equally, that it’s a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist. So that causes my brain some trouble. And part of it, why it causes me trouble, is because fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there. You know, because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change. And that is a lie. The institution of marriage is going to change, and it should change. And again, I don’t think it should exist. And I don’t like taking part in creating fictions about my life. That’s sort of not what I had in mind when I came out thirty years ago. You know, I have three kids who have five parents, more or less. And I don’t see why they shouldn’t have five parents legally. I don’t see why we should choose two of those parents and make them into a sanctioned couple. And because between those five parents we have two groups with two different citizenships, two groups of three with different citizenships… I got married in Massachusetts to my partner who’s Russian. My ex-partner. And by that time we had two kids. One of whom was adopted and one of whom I gave birth to. We broke up a couple years after that. And a couple years after that I met my new partner, and she had just had a baby, and that baby’s biological father is my brother, and my daughter’s biological father is a man who lives in Russia, and my adopted son also considers him his father. So the five parents break down into two groups of three who have two different citizenships. And really I would like to live in a legal system that is capable of reflecting that reality. And I don’t think that’s compatible with the institution of marriage. That’s the problem with the political debate. I don’t know, again, how it happens here. Certainly the way that it works in The States is that part of the message on the pro gay marriage side is don’t worry, marriage will stay exactly the same as it is, it’s just that gays and lesbians will have access to it.

Statistically, a woman is more likely to be hurt by a man than she is to ever be eaten by a shark, hit by a car, be attacked by a bear, crash in a plane, or be bitten by a spider. When a woman expresses fear of any of these events, she is still seen as a rational person. When I tell people that I am afraid of swimming in the ocean because I’m afraid of sharks, they accept it almost without question. But, when I tell people that I’m afraid of men, that men scare me more than sharks and spiders and freak plane accidents all combined, I immediately lose their respect. I am considered elitist. I am considered sub-human.

you are not obligated to

be someone’s counselor and help them with all their problems if its bad for your mental health

be there for someone 24/7

remain friends with someone who emotionally drains you

maintain negative relationships because you’ve been close for so long, because you’re related, or anything else

do anything that makes you unhappy or puts your health at risk

Instead of sexualizing boobs, how about we sexualize the clitoris? You know, the thing that has no other purpose than sexual stimulation, yet many people are unaware of its existence? Let’s do that.

One important thing to remember in life: Do not coddle men. Do not do their work for them. Do not perform uncredited labor for them, including intellectual labor. Do not bend over backwards to help them. Do not tell them they are good at things they are bad at. Do not smile at them when you don’t want to. Do not laugh at their terrible jokes or stroke their egos or let them think they are better than you when odds are good that they are almost definitely not. Do not even deal with men whose presence bothers you when you can get away from them/when you aren’t regularly forced to be near them for things like work. Do not include men in your life who don’t deserve to be in it any time that you can avoid it at all.

Being gay is natural? Okay.

You have three islands. Divide them into groups of one. The straight island, the gay island, and the lesbian island. The straight island is going to reproduce and keep going strong for millions of generations to come. The gay and lesbian islands will both wipe out in not even one century. This isn’t just about religion or morals, it’s just simple common sense. Being gay is unnatural, and not just because God said so, but because you yourself wouldn’t even be born without a REAL natural man and woman. And no, there is no such thing as a lesbian bone marrow “thing” to have children. That’s a biased fact that came from a lesbian scientist who has false opinions. If it’s not a real penis or vagina, then it’s fucking false and you’re just opinionated by dumb facts. I’m done here. Read over what I said and if you still think that being gay is normal and natural, then I hope you achieve some common sense one day. Bye

If we're at work I do not give a shit about your emotional pain.

If you come into work I expect you to work. I don’t care what happened today or early In the week. You. Came. To. Work. If you did not feel up to working you could have called in and had someone take your shift but instead you showed up and started arguing with me and many of your coworkers about having to do your work and wanting help with your work when the rest of us still have our own work to do. Shut up. I don’t give a shit. If you came in expecting to get paid to make everyone else do your job and burst into tears to try and make me feel bad about telling you to clean up your own goddamn mess instead of telling your coworker (who you are not the boss of) to do it you were wrong and you can go the fuck home. Seriously people I am not your mom or your friend do what you already know you’re supposed to do, or don’t come in. Haveing a bad day/week is not an excuse to not work and make your coworkers do it for you.
