YAWP!

My assignment was due half an hour ago and I still have 1000 words to write. WHY DID I PICK THIS GOD AWFUL SUBJECT? McCarthyism is interesting in passing but not 2500 words worth. I’d rather write on Wordsworth. I say that now but then I would rue that day that I would attempt it. Rue-ing much like rowing will often lead to disappointment, fatigue and regret. Much like I do right at this very moment having to write this essay on an era that re-invented the witch hunt. Their slogan should have been ‘FUCKING COMMIE SCUM!’ but that isn’t very diplomatic. Then again, this is American politics after all. American politics pre the Obama and Biden dream time of Democratic leadership. I wish the Republican elephant would just sit on the fountain of knowledge and wipe out all record of the McCarthy era both for the abhorrent nature of the era and so that I wouldn’t have to write this essay. It’s 1:39am bitches. I don’t have a clever way to incorporate that. DEAL WITH IT.

Filed under american politics oh god I am so tired mccarthyism as an australian I find it both fascinating but not really worthy of my time or analysis

what you said was:
"i don't respect women who don't respect themselves"
what you meant was:
"i and society as a whole hold women up to ridiculous respectability standards directly relating to the "purity" of said women while hypersexualizing them at the same time and if you are a woman and don't fit my awkward monolith of criteria then i refuse to acknowledge your humanity"
what i heard was:
"hi i'm a misogynist piece of shit, please punch me in my face"
