myyy declaration of american masculinity -- go!

I hate to say it (gasp) but sexual harassment is not enlightening, it's not self-esteem boosting. It's disgusting. Go express your repressed manhood somewhere else. I am selling your food, asshole, I'm not a fucking whore. I wonder if these men think that I am "wowed and giggling" or laughing about them later? Really?

But then again, I've been battling with this my entire life. TO be taken seriously. To not be sexually harassed regularly. To not have my guyfriends turn our friendship into a, "hey lets go to the hidden hallway and get some head so I can tell everyone about it." To have people listen to more than the fact that I am 5'2 with a soft voice. I've been dumped because I turned out to not be what they expected. I've had those on power trips freak out when they discover the "real" person (you know, as if we can't all be balanced individuals, what the hell?)

Fuck off. You think you can take your masculinity and shove it down my throat? I'll take mine and shove it down yours. Fuck. off. And no, I don't give a shit if you think I'm, "beautiful." I will tell you.

This has nothing to do with sexuality. Sexuality should be out of this discussion. It needs to be redefined after being molded and destroyed by american masculinity.

American men, do something for yourselves. Whatever it is, as a woman who isn't your mother (gasp! either?) I can't give you that answer. Do it and leave me the fuck alone. I don't give a fuck about you unless you give me a reason to. I'm so sick of standing around and not saying anything, so I'll say it. I have proper reason to, anyway. Who the hell are you to try and make me feel small? Because you think I am attractive and I just stood up to you? Yeah buddy, the only small one is you and it isn't me. But nice try. Nice try as always.

I can tell you the men who exist to me and it won't be you, sorry stranger. It won't be you, sorry men of promiscuity. Sorry people who think they care but don't (american masculinity doesn't know what it wants). Sorry men who have watched too many films and too much tv. If I'm not your equal from the beginning then we will be having problems, man. Peace out.
