I am so angry I am walking around pacing and tearing up. The anger has been building for weeks. I barely know what to do with myself half the time.
A warning: there will be cursing in this diary, if you don't agree with that, don't read this.
I didn't have any plans to write a diary anytime soon, however, I just saw a headline below that said another republican shithead wants an abortion law that makes no exception for rape or incest survivors. There have been too many fucked up stories just like this one, right after the other. I have had enough! From the asshole who thinks women can expel sperm from their vaginas at will, or whatever the goddamn ignorant statement was, I can't even remember what was actually said, there have been so many ridiculous, mind bogglingly shitty, inflammatory things being spewed out, everywhere.
These fucking women haters are going all out for the chance to finally be able to maim, break, rape and kill as many of us as they can. They must be feeling so powerful, so gleeful! They are sadistic fiends who only care about having control. If these "men" had to deal with the list of shit that has been done to me in my life, I guarantee you, they couldn't handle it, no fucking way. I have been raped twice, sexually harassed, assaulted at more than one work place, forcibly groped and kissed, followed around the block, more times than I can count, screamed at from cars, and on and on. ( As an aside, i refuse to be ashamed anymore for talking about the bad shit that has happened to me, it is all part of the story of my life) and yet, here I am, after all these years, still standing, only to get told that I mean about as much as some shit on a fascists shoe. A zero. It is such a horrible feeling to know that I am so disrespected, so despised, so scorned, because I am a female. I think these pathetic guys are making their sadistic fantasies come to life. Sickening, just sickening. I keep thinking about the women who came before me, who worked tirelessly to make a better world for all of us, the women who thought that maybe most of the hard work was done, I am so sorry. I am grieving for you, and for all of us.
It just breaks my heart.
update: I have been trying to read, recommend, or reply to all of your comments. If I have missed anyone, I apologize, the comments get really glitchy when there are this many.
I am heartened to see so many people respond to this diary.
Thanks to everyone!
