That's it, I'm blaming the peri-menopause. I mean, I have a doctor's note and everything. ::sigh:: I'm not saying I'm on my "periodical" as Pa Kettle calls them. It's just hit-and-run rage and hot flashes. So, excuse me if I totally lose my shite.
On a forum about iPhones, I simply went nuts.
The poster, supposedly a female adult, was decrying the lack of apps for girls.
Think about that because I'm a fairly girlie-girl kind of saccharine-sweet freak
At the same time, I don't like being looked down upon for having a proper balance of X's -as in chromosomes
The whine about "no apps for girls" was enough to send up a red flag but I read on. She gave about 5 ideas, including something that could tell the girl-user how to color-coordinate her wardrobe. Excuse me? Okay, for one if we're being sexist, I'd argue that most women do better than most men when it comes to putting clothes together. Men don't care. -I'm old, these new-fangled metro-sexuals might care and that's fine but I'm saying in general
I tried to click away, my usual response to crap that ticks me off. I usually don't give it another thought but sometimes I'll post about it here or tell a friend if it stays in my brain long enough. What did I do, today?
I was mean. I'm not proud. I'm ashamed and I can't take it back. It's out there.
I asked "her" if the post was meant to be controversial. -because it sure as hell felt like it
I proceeded to call myself a girlie-girl type of person who found the mention of "apps for girls" insulting...I must be a smidgeon smarter than I had previously imagined and while I have always considered myself to have a poor self-esteem, at least I haven't yet resorted to having my iPhone tell me what to wear in the morning.
I ended with,
See? I'm sticking with the peri-menopausal defense. I'm guilty but I actually couldn't help it at the time. It was like temporary insanity."Sorry, I'm acting like a girl."
