Why is this apparently such a difficult concept for so many people?

"You are you. I am me. You; me. You; me. You are not inside my head or body; I am not inside yours. Therefore, it shouldn't come as a huge surprise that we might not think or feel the same way about ___, even though yes, we -do- resemble each other in certain superficial ways, I suppose. But, and yet! Different people."

Oh, it doesn't much matter specifically what brought this on, today. Just another trip down the rabbit hole, and I've explored that particular bunny pit too many times on this blog already. There's really nothing new to say about that. Just: damn. Sometimes I think some people use politics or whatever else to cover up the basic problem: that they never figured out basic boundaries. And yet, in most -other- ways they sort of kind of resemble adults.

Oh, well. Back to hibernation--

Today's mantra: I'm not saying you can't be yourself,okay! I'm only saying be yourself but just like me!

"I'm not telling you what to do! I just want you to admit I can read your brain! Isn't that much better?!"

and:

"I'm ALLOWED to judge! And in any case just because I'm judging you there's no need to take it personally! Stop judging me for judging you! I'm not like other people, I can't stand judgment, it -hurts- me!"

"I am not blaming you for being a complete sniveling wimpy tool to the Patriarchy. I myself have swayed gently in response to it, though not of course to the embarrassing lengths you have. So don't worry, I understand the temptation! We can't all be as strong as I am. I'm here to help you try, though."

How 'bout we cut thru the bullshit, shall we?

"I don't LIKE you. But I'm not going to come out and say that, because that's not womyn loving (so peacefully) so I'm going to cloak my feeling with a bunch of jibbery-jabbery bullshit, PS. You a ho."

Hey belledame,

I just read that post on the clear lesbian gaze or something.

Bwah-ha-ha.

I better not tell those people how I fuck. I'm afraid that my 'gaze' is a little too dirty for them.

I'm assuming this is coming from the same place as those who believe that the only acceptable sex lesbians should have is holding hands, right?

Hey, DB! Welcome. Yah, more or less, altho' you know the whole anti-sex thing is a straw-feminist. Which, of course it is; I mean, -I- don't want to fuck a scarecrow, and presumably they're all too busy with important shit, defeating the Patriarchy, harboring field mice, that sort of thing.
