I grew up so sheltered and kind of unworldly, I wasnt in any way prepared for rough treatment. Correct, I am not the same person now, nothing is ever the same. You learn to live with it, as it never goes away. But yes, I am stronger for it, you dont know what you are made of until you've been tested. When I think of what my family went thru in HK in the war days, when the Japanese invited themselves to take everything they wanted, I got it easy. They survived, and made new lives, and here I am. I can do no less.
Now I'm really glad you posted this video. A couple days ago, I searched the internet for a couple hours, trying to find something to be mad about and eventually stumbled upon this nonsense. I read about Jennifer Lawrence wanting to ban the word fat. Now while I understand that people don't like to be called fat, the whole outrage over the use of bossy was lost on me. Especially if you consider who's all part of this psa. Condoleeza Rice- "Little girls can grow up and become a war criminal just like me!" Beyoncé- "My husband is a rapper who has used words like "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*), ho, slut" to describe women, but what really bothers me is this terrible word bossy" She's also not bossy, she's the boss. WTF!? Well gee, I'm not all big into leadership, but I'm the leader. Does anyone else feel that by wanting to ban words, they themselves seem rather uh, well... bossy? It's a tough world out there, but it's best for people to face that truth rather than shielding, and coddling the young ones from that harsh reality. Better to prepare them for it.
Feminism is a crutch. Obviously being called bossy prevents women from doing their job. I am occasionally called a mother(*)(*)(*)(*)ing (*)(*)(*)(*) sucker piece of (*)(*)(*)(*), yet, I still do my job.
Probably because when people come into the office wanting to tell me their personal drama, it is clear I don't care, and they get mad. LOL Its just like: "She broke up with you five times in a month, why is this last break up surprising?" "You need to calm down. Stop yelling. You are edgy. You are making me edgy. You threatened to kill someone, why are you surprised you have serious legal issues?" "You were snorting cocaine off the back of a toilet, wiped your hands on your dark pants.... why are you surprised you are facing jail time?" "You have been engaged six time since I have know you seven months ago, why is being engaged to a 16 year old going to be different?" "You are nearly thirty chasing a fifteen year old girl. Why are you surprised that people are saying you are (*)(*)(*)(*)ing her?" "You feed dozens of cats, and those cats defecate in your neighbors yard, why are you surprised he is trapping them?" "You owe $800 in rent, why are your surprised I am giving you an eviction notice?" "You have three people arrested in your apartment, a brawl, threatened to assault kids with a club, all in two weeks, why are you surprised you are being evicted?" "You agree to do this, why are you surprised when you are expected to do this?" "Yes. God. We know. You hurt your knee. No one knows whats wrong with it. We get it." "Yes. God. We know. You think you are love with him. He is gay. You aren't going to change that." "Yes. God. We know. You are love with this women in Nigeria. Whom you have never met. And send money to on a weekly basis. Even bought a plane ticket. There are red flags there bud." "You failed a drug test... you couldn't forgo smoking week for a month to pass a drug test for a fulltime job and full benefits? Working outside in ag at a whole $6.00 an hour is worth it? Eh? Really?" Being a landlord, an honest friend, and an officer on a fire department isn't necessarily to befriend those who expect to be coddled and have their hand held. LOL
Had someone threaten a fire fighter with a weapon last weekend, then threaten me when I raised an issue with it. I decided to take up a friend's offer for a set of LVIIA armor.
I find it entirely ironic that these retards hate being called bossy but then they go around and tell people they can't use that word anymore. I really enjoyed the video. There was a lot of truth to it. It's too bad too many people, especially men who are thinking with the wrong head, don't see the point of it.
Addendum. Hey, if it's okay for them to ban words they hate, why can't we men ban words we hate? Such as the word hypocrite. That words is way too much used these days.
