Today I was called a “Civil Bitch.” It made me question myself because I know I can be sarcastic. I hope that is not what I am. But then again, is there something wrong when I tell the truth & I try to be kind at the same time? Or maybe I’m a bitch & I just don’t know it.
@carmahaz Well, that's a neat trick. Now I want someone to call *me* that! I usually just got "uppity bitch"!
@carmahaz I mean, come on... at varying times in my life there have been (join in ladies if you've heard any of these or if I miss any):
* uppity bitch
* skinny bitch
* fat bitch
* teeny (tiny) bitch
* little bitch
* brainy bitch
* stupid bitch
* too smart for her own good bitch
* too big for her britches bitch
* blonde bitch
* poor bitch
* skanky bitch
* white bitch
* puta bitch
* broke (ass) bitch
* rich (ass) bitch
and the ever popular favorite:
* fucking bitch.
But not ONCE a civil one!!
@AvaSpeaksUp so there is also stuck up bitch. My favorite is when I am called a ‘Cunt’...my response has become ‘you mean THUNDER CUNT’, right!?! @carmahaz words have power and I take back the power 😉
@AvaSpeaksUp @carmahaz ok technically I say, ‘that’s Dr. THUNDER Cunt to you’ lol
@Thumprhare @carmahaz @AvaSpeaksUp Oh my goodness I’m totally using this next time I’m called that. (and sorry for jumping in mid convo)
@yogapaddlerun feel free to use it! Then you can carefully use a well placed clap while making thunder sounds too. It’s the beauty of being bullied and harassed as a kid—sassy smart mouth. 😜 @carmahaz @AvaSpeaksUp
@Thumprhare Totally hear you about being sassy smart mouth from being bullied. I’ve been called a verbal executioner as adult. @AvaSpeaksUp @carmahaz
@yogapaddlerun @carmahaz @AvaSpeaksUp @Thumprhare
Is it wrong that I LOVE this thread?
How about hysterically funny bitches? Am I allowed to say that? (Runs out of room)
@MountainMan I love that ya love it!! I appreciate the addition of hysterically funny bitches!! @yogapaddlerun @carmahaz @AvaSpeaksUp
@Thumprhare @AvaSpeaksUp @carmahaz @yogapaddlerun
It was very funny, if somewhat sad that y’all get called those names.
@MountainMan the more benign things women are called daily @yogapaddlerun @carmahaz @AvaSpeaksUp
@Thumprhare @carmahaz @yogapaddlerun @MountainMan Definitely more benign. And not nearly as creative as some people are getting nowadays.
@MountainMan Nothing is more threatening to some than intelligent, fearless women. @carmahaz @AvaSpeaksUp @Thumprhare
@yogapaddlerun @Thumprhare @AvaSpeaksUp @carmahaz
Are you threatening me? 😂
This just makes me think of Beavis and Butthead... "Are you threatening me? I need TP for my bunghole!"
Isn't that funny? Sometimes your best bet to get out of a situation is to act more fearful? I *HATE* that!!
@AvaSpeaksUp I’ve never been able to do that, but I’ve seen my friends use that effectively. I end up going full Wookiee @MountainMan @carmahaz @Thumprhare
I'm tiny. I've had to do it a couple of times. It sucks. Fucking everybody is bigger than me. I have wrists like toothpicks. In junior high people used to just pick me up and carry me for fun.
NOTE TO MEN: Don't fucking do that to small people!! We fucking HATE that!!
@MountainMan @carmahaz @Thumprhare @yogapaddlerun
P.S. - I would pay money to see what full Wookie entails!!
@AvaSpeaksUp Pretty much very loud and knocking people over. @Thumprhare @carmahaz @MountainMan
@yogapaddlerun @MountainMan @carmahaz @Thumprhare
Still, though... greenbacks on the bar!!
@yogapaddlerun @MountainMan @Thumprhare @AvaSpeaksUp Serves my more militant mood. It’s always amusing when students come into class after break & some of my metal is playing
@AvaSpeaksUp Can see that! I come from good farm stock, threw shot put in high school, so am exceptionally strong. Plus my LEO father taught me self defense from a young age. College nickname was “The Enforcer” 🤣@MountainMan @carmahaz @Thumprhare
Oh, I fight if I have to. I've been physically attacked 3 times. Fought my way out all 3. But those were one-on-one, no choice, fight or get raped, fight-fights. But I'm talking about the "guy trying to intimidate you in public" like on mass transit or in a bar type deal. You don't really need to fight there. You just need to appear frightened & someone else will step in & get him off you. I grew up in a family of all cops or firefighters. Tinies pick their battles. If you ->
@yogapaddlerun -> fight in those situations, you become a fun, entertaining thing to watch and no one helps you. Then you end up getting hurt because you've stung somebody who is bigger than you's pride. So, that way is a no go. Much better to curl up helpless and let someone else white knight it. And it usually ends without them getting hurt because they can make someone see the error of their ways for picking on the tiny person.
@yogapaddlerun @Thumprhare @MountainMan @AvaSpeaksUp Yeah, if I didn’t already like my name I might even change it. I’ll embrace my inner Civil Bitch. (Better than the POS that said last night I was just needing some, & shoulda gotten what Bill Clinton had to offer)
You'd be fucking amazed how often that is a great many men's answer for everything angry & female... "Well, honey, you know you just need a good deep dicking!!" Jesus, if I've heard that once, I've heard that a million times. You can't even begin to imagine how utterly repugnant the men who say this are... not just because they're saying it, but *before* they even say it. It's like they honestly believe we're just going to say "You're right" & bend over to fuck right there!!
You mean that’s not the best line to get women to have sex?
I need to rethink my approach.
Why the fuck would you need some shriveled up, old man dick? I don't know how old you are, but you're fully capable of going out and getting whatever kind of dick you want, any old time you want... *if* and that's a mighty big *if* you want it & all the headaches that come along with it!! Did you kindly tell that person to fuck off?? I hope I hope I hope!!
@AvaSpeaksUp @yogapaddlerun @Thumprhare @MountainMan lol I took the teacher route😂 As if he could learn something.
Lol yeah and Don’t need to look got my own fine guy & he comes with a brain.
@AvaSpeaksUp @yogapaddlerun @Thumprhare @carmahaz @MountainMan Ava So glad that I’m not the only one who was schlepped about sans permission...& if one more dude thinks it’s funny to rest his arm on my head, he might retrieve a bloody stump. That shit is obnoxious & anymore, it’s painful.
@Evvie @carmahaz @Thumprhare @yogapaddlerun @AvaSpeaksUp
Serious question here. Is it offensive to short women when a taller guy crouches slightly when their picture is being taken?
I’m 9” taller than my wife and she makes a face when I do this. I feel like it makes for better pictures.
@MountainMan @AvaSpeaksUp @yogapaddlerun @Thumprhare @carmahaz depends...totally depends on the circumstances at the time of the pic. Examples: my bro does it to be annoying/pick on me. Not cool. When I was touring with punk bands the guys were all HUGE compared to me. The ‘shortest’ was abt a foot taller than I am. They would - usually at the last second & not making a huge deal abt it - duck down for photos. If I caught them, they would say ‘I’m all Lurch-y behind you’ 😂 THAT was ok. 😁
@Evvie @AvaSpeaksUp @yogapaddlerun @Thumprhare @carmahaz
She knows I mean no harm and it’s just for the pic, but she still doesn’t like it. Maybe she should have found someone closer to her height
Does she just always wear *very* high heels around you then??
I'd ask her how she feels about it. It's different for everybody. I don't mind it. I get why people do it, but then I've taken film classes & I get framing, etc. But my sister does. She's even shorter than me. I ended up marrying a man who is exactly as tall as me (had nothing to do with why I married him), and she dates men who are ridiculously tall. Go figure.
@MountainMan show this to your wife. (Because has to balance precariously on a chair to snap this)) these are my grandparents...look closely at the height difference and how she compensates. Lol ((rip grandma))@Evvie @carmahaz @yogapaddlerun @AvaSpeaksUp
@Thumprhare @Evvie @carmahaz @yogapaddlerun @AvaSpeaksUp
Was there supposed to be a pic?
@Evvie
YES!! Big people's arms are heavy!! I wish they still made hat pins!! I swear I think that was why those were in fashion at one point- for self defense from big people!!
@AvaSpeaksUp @yogapaddlerun @Thumprhare @carmahaz @MountainMan I wear vintage/vintage repro clothing mostly in the pinup style (when I manage to make it out of my soft jammies) so I HAVE hat pins...never thought about that! NEW WEAPON AGAINST arm attacks! MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I used to manage group homes for the developmentally disabled. We had this one resident who was just plain mean in addition to being DD. She used to wear pins under these knitted hats so if any of the staff ever tried to grab her head while trying to control her during one of her outbursts (she was big & could be VERY physically violent) they would get a handful of pins in their hands. It was a constant struggle trying to get them away from her. But she's the one who gave me the idea.
@AvaSpeaksUp Sorry that you had to deal with that but what an excellent idea lol
@MountainMan @yogapaddlerun @carmahaz @Thumprhare
Eh. I'll take name calling over what else men can try to do to us, any day. I used to get upset over being called a bitch, but it's a lot less worse than anything else and it's a good warning sign. I'm far more worried about the quiet guys these days.
@AvaSpeaksUp @MountainMan @yogapaddlerun @carmahaz @Thumprhare This thread is freaking awesome!
@MountainMan @AvaSpeaksUp @yogapaddlerun @carmahaz @Thumprhare I'm taking lots of notes!
@carmahaz But it's practically the *one kind* of bitch I've never been called.... I feel almost left out!! LOL!!
