sorcyressLots of Rants. Because they are fun.
DISCLAIMER: I haven't bothered to go do any reserch for these, so if I got anything glaringly wrong, let me know and I shall do my best to fix it.
The Rant on Equalism, Part II: (rated R for language)Another place where males and females are unequal is in the fine area of insults. Think about it. To insult a girl, you can call her all manner of bad names. Dog, Bitch, Wench, Slut, Skank, Ho, Cunt, Witch...Now think about bad names for guys. Basterd. Or fag.* Nothing else quickly jumps to mind. Keep in mind that there are also bunches of insults you can throw at either, asshole, idiot, nimrod, stupid, dork, etc, etc, but when it comes to insults specifically aimed at males as compared to specifically aimed at females, females got it worse.
The worst part of all this is that some females LET themselves be called these names, or even call them the names themselves, especially in the case of Bitch. If a boy calls them one, they might get mad, but it's always a wussy mad, or worse, they might just agree. It's maddening to try and figure out WHY anyone would WANT to be thought of as a bitch, to degrade themselves so thourgholy in that fashion.
On a similar note, why would any girl want to degrade herself by LETTING boys smack her on the rear end, or pinch or grab her butt? I see it in school way to often, guys do that to the girls and the girls just LAUGH! Why the hell don't they care?? That guy just grabbed one of your "private parts," a part of the body that you've known since childhood is even more private and personal then the rest of your body, and you just sit there and giggle. You IDIOTS! Trust me, and guy who gets his hand within a foot of my rear end will suddenly find that hand shoved down that throat. It still being attached to his arm is optional.
Gosh I'm violent. But I feel I have a right. It's my body, and, unlike so many others my age, I intend to keep it mine.
Plus it's really fun to make up threats. :kiki:
*I object to this insult, mainly because I really hate it when people use homosexuality as an insult. It PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH!!
The Rant of a Grammer Nazi:
SOME BASIC GUIDLINES:
~i should ALWAYS be capitilized when by itself.
~u should be spelled y-o-u
~c should be spelled s-e-e or s-e-a
~2 should be spelled t-o or t-o-o. The number should only be used for representing t-w-o
~4 should always be spelled f-o-r. The number should only be used for representing f-o-u-r.
~Sentances start with a capital letter (uppercase/big letter) and end with some form of ending punctuation.
~Proper nouns should be capitilized.
~Use commas. (comma = ,)
~Question marks should be used at the end of questions.
~Exclamation points should be used at the end of exclamations.
~My name is spelled "Katarina". Not Katrina, not Katerina, not Catarina, nor any combination of those.
~My nickname is spelled "Kat" not Cat, and it is pronounced "cat" (yes like the small fuzzy animal) not "cate".
~MOOP! is spelled just like that, the exclamation point is one of the letters and it should always be in all caps.
~lol gets really old really fast, try using:
*grin*
*snicker*
*laughs*
*LAUGHS!*
*giggle*
*evil laugh*
BWAHAHAHA!
MWAHAHAHA!
Or any other laugh. Use vairity.
~Shortining words so they're almost unreadable is not good.
This has been a public service announcement. Thank you and have a good day.
Anyway, I had a decent day today.
~School was normal, we had a sub in math and the Tech Systems techer had a bit of a short temper today, but thats cause the class was being stupid.
~Veronica wanted to skip down to D lunch during math, but didn't
~After school, everyone walked to my house and we hung out and played DDR. Then we hung out in the basement and I became moody and withdrawn, mostly because I've had a full head recently having to deal with all my thoughts on how stupid females tend to be. Also, how stupid romance is.
~Eventually, it was just me, Veronica, and Billy, and we played Curses, only we didn't have the rules so we made them up.
Then I got online and haven't left except to eat dinner and clean my room.
~Sorceress/Kat
MOOP!

on 2004-05-20 05:22 am (UTC)But I"m with you with both of your rants (although I've definitely been known to write cya instead of see ya when I'm in a hurry.)
Howls,

Re: The Spelling Fairy
on 2004-05-20 05:41 am (UTC)As for "bitch" -- I know some women call themselves that, and I think in some cases it's kind of "Ok, so you want to call me something bad? I can take that and twist it so that it's something to be proud of." It takes on another meaning -- it becomes more "don't mess with me because I'll give you what for." I don't think it's necessarily a good thing, but it's a way to fight back against a nasty stereotype.
As grabbing butts, I hate that from both sexes. Please do not grab or pinch or patt me on my butt! It startles me and I do not like it! And don't try to tickle me either, unless there is at least implied consent! Any of that is an invasion of my personal space. I get so aggravated and then the other person says "Geez, what are you so upset about?" like it was no big deal. I have been known to poke or pinch a guy's private parts in retaliation. They usually don't try it again! (I'm not advocating that YOU do that, but it works for me.) For women, I haven't devised anything suitable except saying "Don't do that!" Maybe I should try a nipple tweak for repeat offenders...

on 2004-05-20 09:40 am (UTC)I've never had a woman smack, pinch or otherwise touch my butt on purpose. Accidental bumping on the subway happens, so it doesn't bug me.
Most guys know not to do it to me unless we're dating and said touching occurs in private. I've been known to "goose" my BF once in a while. He hasn't complained... ;)
Grabbing my butt for prolonged periods of time in public is not reccommended unless there's a REALLY good reason for it, like you're carrying me away from a burning car wreck or something. If you value having unbroken hands you will heed this advice.
Tickling should be immediately preceeded with wiggling of fingers and an "I'm going to tickle you" so you know it's coming. Otherwise it's not right.

on 2008-02-15 01:02 am (UTC)I yell at people for grammar mistakes. I'm still rubbishy at spelling.

on 2004-05-20 01:47 pm (UTC)I'm likely to forcibly hit anybody who tries to tickle me because it annoys me, but what really gets me is when people behind me, for no reason, just poke me, especially in the back of the neck or the small of my back. I, quite litterally jump, which is usually followed by me whirling around and glaring at them. If they do it again, nothing happens, but when it's unexpected...

Just a quick question...

on 2004-05-21 07:45 am (UTC)My theory as to why this happens is the sarcasm response - women needed something to insult another with, why not intimate that their purity is anything but? And of course, once the word is tainted with sex, any previous meanings it once had disappear pretty quickly.
As for the Second Rant, please don't destroy chatspeak. I intend to study it for my PhD. Besides, all things considered, it's actually quite clever. It's effectively using sound correspondences to creatively shorten words.
I have quite a bit of appreciation of the creative work. It's effectively adding a syllabary subset into the English Alphabet set. I see it as quite cool!
