It seems like I missed all the abortion drama—the LJ stuff, I mean, I've been following the George Tiller stuff. Which is probably a good thing, I think everyone's said everything I would've, and I don't need to get more angry about stuff. Unfortunately, I haven't missed all the AM radio coverage of the abortion debate, which means I've been listening to a lot of men shouting at each other about the subject, and I have come to a conclusion! (Also I was thinking about this because of the post

heytherenatalie made a few days ago.)

It'd be psycho of me to be all, "Men can't have an opinion about the subject!" Really psycho. But seriously? If you're a dude, you're totally oblivious to your male privilege and you refuse to acknowledge the fact that you will never be pregnant might be influencing you, here, and you insist on sharing your opinion anyway? Shut the fuck up. SHUT THE FUCK UP. Women don't need you to tell us what to do, and that's exactly what you're trying to do anyway, you fucking condescending assholes.

Like I said, I've been listening to a lot of talk radio, so this is directed at all of those wignuts. All the dudes on my flist except pretzelcoatl are awesome, obviously.

All the dudes on my flist are awesome, obviously.

Even when I contemplated answering the "What's your dream house?" question today with this?

My dream house would be like the following:

You walk in through the gates into a beautiful garden with a fountain, and the lovely smell of flowers wafts by as you stroll up to the sizeable porch with wicker furniture. You knock, and are allowed to enter into the entranceway. It is deceptively large on the inside, but yet the arrangement of furniture and artwork and the colors of the rugs and paint make the entire place warm and inviting. A warm breeze helps to make everything seem alive. There is a seat for you at the table with a plate of warm cookies. You sit, and take one and bite into it.

And then thousands of spiders pour out from the cookie down into your throat and cover your body, slowly devouring you alive.

And on my throne within my interdimensional cloister, I laugh.

L-lol Alex Jones.

But in all seriousness, I hope people from both sides can come together and say that's horrible. Well, at least I'm pretty sure they are. Everyone's entitled to their feelings on the matter, regardless, BUT violence and mutilated fetuses posters aren't helping. This also gives me a headache, because I am honestly SPLIT on abortion.

I despise talk radio so much, at this point.

The opinions on that post were all so varied, but more importantly so valid. It's a passionate subject, but I wish people would understand that behind every opinion is a person, and to be respectful.

I'm torn on it myself.
