(no subject)

[rocknload]

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.

I'd rather see someone do what they actually think it's right whether people agree with them or not, though considering a few past presidencies, maybe that isn't a wise policy.

Yeah, just -- I'm pretty sure most of them are smarter than they sound to us, they're just trying to be deliberately inflammatory. Which is horrible, what the hell!

--aaauuuuugh.
