Feminism Related Shit

I seriously thought I was making progress with my mother, until today she decided to tell me that my ".. hairy man legs,“ would embarass her if people noticed them. I asked her why, and she responded with "Well, naturally, girls are meant to be smooth and delicate and feminine, and boys are the hairy ones,” to which I reponded by pointing out that we naturally grow body hair, so it’s not a natural value, it’s a cultural more. Her response was then to get angry and say that it was just so typical of me to disagree with shaving just because it’s not a natural thing. She has no capacity to hold a decent arguement/debate about the topic because she just derails it and chooses to be ignorant, and it pisses me off majorly. She also called me a hypocrite because I choose to shave other body parts. I fail to see the relation.



You know what, mother? These legs are going to turn into fuzzy legwarmers, and there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop me.



Also, fucking creepy laptop dude that gets on my bus - stop fucking staring at me for the whole 40 minute trip. This has literally happened every Monday of the semester, and I’m at the point where I’m going to flying knee your balls up into your guts. Have a pleasant day.
