5. I like Crazy Ladies

I used to keep my crazy under wraps (apparently not very uhhh effectively).

But these days I say…wth..get called crazy anyway. Why not embrace it? With enthusiasm!

I bought my first overtly feminist book this year.
I was always a feminist, but it’s a label I didn’t use because it was becoming so bloody overused that it kinda lost its meaning. By the time you call every damn thing feminist, it kinda loses its meaning. Now that it is basically uncool to be a feminist again I can openly embrace it. Popular stuff attracts the shallowest converts.

There has to be a tradwife feminist movement out there.

I thought Simone De Beauvoir sounded interesting years ago..but I ended up buying Valerie Solanas’ “Scum Manifesto”. It fit my tastes. I tend to find some types of language on the left a bit mechanical, preachy and dull..nothing dull about Valerie.

One of my few recent purchases I don’t regret. I hesitated for minute thinking, if there are any “This person is a miscreant” lists I am not on, this will ensure that I get on those. But well..I figure full coverage is better than partial with pointless drivel like that. Kidding …I prefer to not be on lists..but feel fatalistic by now..

To me it reads as obvious satire..it’s that ott. But society is kinda satire challenged lately..

It’s definitely my kinda feminist tract. A damn shame she ruined her legacy by shooting that ass Warhol. She is definitely more talented than him imo. (Imo == token nod to pretending my opinions are not absolutely the only possible ones ;-/ ).
