I am so sick of the “use your brains, not your body!” bullshit. Ya know… telling women to be ashamed of our bodies, and that only sluts ‘give it away’ or whatever the hell else, and if you aren’t ashamed of your body then obviously you have self-esteem issues… NO. JUST STOP. Because THAT is patriarchy too. Huge, ugly, nasty, PERVASIVE patriarchy.

See, that’s EXACTLY the type of shit that makes me want to take off a glove, slap someone across the face, and challenge them to a duel. (I am old school like that). And see, here is the part where I earn asshole points and probably damage my karma…
Yeah, I have a fucking mind. Not a bad one either. I even have some hard earned social skills. I’ve worked hard to get where I am with both. I also have a body, and yeah, part of that is genetic luck (SAME WITH THE OTHER TWO, HELLO!) and part of it is hard work. And what do people do? Trash me for it. NOW, honestly…WTF…do we demonize those who are really not all that intelligent? Do we demonize those with a lack of social skills? Hell, do any of us- you know who I mean- demonize those who have body issues or are not conventional or what the hell ever?
No.
Now, in life, you have the right to use whatever you’ve been given to get yours done. If you choose only to use your mind, great. If you choose to use those dazzling social skills? Also great. But heaven for fucking bid you use your body?
Bullshit. Pure and simple. Listen, I don’t have a fantastic math mind, I can’t use that. I do have a body though, and I have the damn right to use it how I see fit and to what ends I choose, end of story.
Humans.
Oh, and another fucking thing, dammit…
You use your mind, your intelligent and academic!
You use your social skills, you are witty and charming!
You use your body, you are superficial and a bimbo!
What the hell ever…
