I am sick and tired of women who victimize themselves. However, before anyone gets offended by that statement (unlikely, since this blog is only read by two people) I would like to issue a disclaimer that my rant applies to specific people that I know personally. I am very much aware that there are situations in which both men and women are victimized, and my thoughts are with them. This blog does not apply to them. Why are some people unable to solve the simplest of problems? It frustrates me to no end. I find that the girls I am referring to often seem to put themselves in toxic situations, regardless of warning signs. When the situation goes truly sour, they cry to people around them for no reason other than attention.
You say "Jonah" is pressuring you for sex. Tell him no. He's sending you mean text messages. Don't reply. I thought we were friends! You're not. Move on. Don't make it anyone else's problem. Also, weren't you "hooking up" with him, even though you're not technically his girlfriend? If so, I don't understand why you'd expect him to respect you if you've set your standards so low. I'll say it again. Grow. Get over it. Stop whining and actually do something. If you refuse to confront your problems, you have no right to complain about them. (Again, I'm referring to specific people.)
You say you were date raped. Why didn't you report it? You certainly have no problem bringing it up in conversation. "OH THE NIGHTMARES!" you cry. I'm sick of your bullshit. If he really did date rape you, why haven't you blocked him? I don't understand. Perhaps my low tolerance for bullshit also correlates to why I want to shank you every time you play damsel in distress. Save yourself, because eventually no one else will. I believe in self determination. You are your own destiny. You have the power to fix this, but I think you'd rather complain about it. I don't tolerate weak women.
You say I'm judgmental. You say I don't understand the situation. Then why don't you enlighten me? I do understand. I'm glad you're dedicated to the values of "friendship", but it's blinding you. I'm tired of having to play Kent in this tired old play. Just because someone is your friend doesn't mean you have to be on your side, especially if he or she has done something really, truly stupid. All you're doing is preventing them from addressing the problem. You're making it worse. I'm glad that you're comfortable enough with me to tell me your true feelings. I think that it helps me greatly with my daily aggravations to know that you will fully access the situations I tell you, not just take my side. It's made me stronger. Maybe you should apply that to your other relationships. If you're not comfortable enough to do that, then I suggest you reassess your friendships. I don't mean to be harsh. I love you. These relationships of yours, they're poison. I just want to help.
I feel better already. I'll end my rant with a quote: "See better, Lear, and let me still remain/The true blank of thine eye." (I.1.162-163).
