Excuse me for the rant I am about to unleash.

( For those of you who have been wonder:  I am doing much better, thank you for all the overwhelming support.  When I feel myself crashing, I read through your comments and it helps tremendously!  )

Anyway...

( For the time being until I graduate and start working for Amvets, I do live with my dad. )

So, I went to with my dad to Walmart today to buy new lights for my sisters bedroom. The whole way there I could tell he was in a bad mood, so I kept to myself. While at Walmart, his attitude only seemed to get worse. ( I still have yet to figure out why he was so upset. )

We finally found the right lights that we needed, and went to find an express lain. Most were closed, but two were still open with people in line. My dad starts grumbling about this ( acting like he wants to get the hell out of dodge as quick as possible. )

I am standing right behind him and we get behind two other people with one of them almost finished checking out.  But suddenly, my dad starts to back up into me, and I don't understand why. ( I am confused by his angry jerking of the cart so I stand there like 'what is your problem?' )


But what happened next, I did not expect.

He turns around and gets right in my face gritting his teeth at me like some rabid dog. He then proceeds to grab my upper arm and wrist growling out an angry "MOVE!" before shoving me backwards. I pulled my arm back ( it still hurts. ) and yell "Don't touch me/shove me." ( at this point I was pissed, can't remember what I said exactly. ) My sister and I then stormed off.

1. I am not a child.

2. I am a woman.

And I am pretty sure men shouldn't be putting their hands on a woman like that. ( Or anyone for that matter, regardless of gender, or however you identify. )


I have been upset about this all day.  I refused to talk to him or be around him.  But he came into my room just now seeking to apologize.

Again, I am still ignoring him at this point.  Finally, he gets fed up and says, "Why don't you be a real WOMAN and FORGIVE ME."

EXCUSE ME BUT A REAL WOMAN WOULD TELL YOU TO TAKE YOUR APOLOGY AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!

…Be a real woman? Fuck you, I'm pretty sure I bleed like a woman, my hips and chest scream woman, and I can carry a child in my belly for 9 months. 

I am a woman, but that doesn't mean I should forgive any man for putting his hands on me without my fucking consent.


//end rant.

I was catching up on reading deviants and journals; I saw and read your rant....lately I've been reading a lot of books on feminism (riot girls, the zine scene, and whatnot).  A woman can be what she wants and say what she wants.  Men shouldn't have to be controlling or telling others what or what not to do.  I would be mad if I were you, too.
