Thou shalt not call thy female acquaintances "girlypants."
Yes, somebody actually did that. Somebody that I'd previously talked to and thought I liked. Turns out he's one of those people who, if you express an opinion different from his, takes it to mean that you're saying you're right and he's wrong. You know the type--you say, "Well, yes, X is an emotional topic for me because I had this or that problem," and his response is, "Oh, so my life is all rainbows and flowers then" or something. It's sort of a shame, because I'd thought I'd made a new friend, but I really don't need friends that put words in my mouth. I also don't need friends that haven't mastered the idea of women wanting to be seen as people instead of equated with girls. [You know, because women and girls are all the same thing. They all have vaginas, so whether they're 5 or 55, makes no difference whatsoever. I could just fucking cry.]
Next time somebody does something like that, I'm just gonna turn his reasoning back on him and call him an orangutan or a lemur or something. Why not? They're all primates like us, why get hung up on the exact terminology? Aren't all primates the same?
Oh, and apparently I'm not fun because I don't flirt with people I'm not going to sleep with. What IS the deal with that, anyway? Why would you make [physical or verbal] googoo eyes at somebody and lead them on if you don't intend for it to go anywhere? That's like going to the store, picking out stuff, taking it to the checkout counter, and then just leaving it at the checkout and wandering away. SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT, PEOPLE.
And I want my teeth ripped out and replaced with fake ones. Fake ones don't hurt.
Anyway, that's how my day has been so far, how about yours?

Marketing idea for the day: Women's tee that says, "Don't call me baby unless you wanna change my poopy diapers." The man that laughs and asks me where I got it will be my Prince Charming.
