My parents have been married a long time. Nearly 26 years. I hope one day to be able to join them in this endeavour and be married to my partner for that long.

But I can’t.

Because I’m gay and gays in Australia can’t get married.

I was going to do a post on the Steubenville rape verdit but this post by the great Henry Rollins himself pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter.

I’m tweeting on Twitter as one does watching the feminist debates and radfem stupidity when I come across this article by Cathy Brennan. Cathy is a political lesbian (whatever the fuck that means) who seems to have some issues with other lesbians.

Why can’t white people decide what’s racist especially if racism happens to them? Anyone of any ethnicity has the ability to be racist and can be on the recieving end of racist behaviour. Since when has it been unacceptable for white people to be racist against non-white communities but acceptable if the roles are reversed? Especially in countries where white people are not the majority.

A few years ago, I was visiting friends over in America and the topic of guns came up. I suppose with a gun culture as large as it is over there it’s the Australian equivalent to talking about beer. The shock and horror that registered on their faces as they discovered that I had never handled a gun in my life was instantaneous, and I had been thrown into the car the next day to drive out to the middle of nowhere to be shown the ropes on loading, handling and shooting a gun.

Slut shames women for saying yes.
Friendzone shames women for saying no.
Bitch shames womens for saying no to you.

Slut: A person of any gender who has the courage to lead life according to the radical proposition that sex is nice and pleasure is good for you – Dossie Easton.

It is funny when people call me a slut as if they think it’s an insult.

Ha!

What a compliment.

So a few days ago I got a message from Kali over at Tumblr in regards to this previous post.

“What about white actors playing ethnic roles? Why/why not, and how is it different/similar? Not trolling, it’s a topic made largely of nuance and hurt. ”

Update: I’ve been told I should break my posts up into smaller bits because people may get bored. This is a blog, not twitter. If you come here and don’t want to read what I write, don’t read it. Those who are interested in what I have to stay will stick around or bookmark the page for later so they can read it at different times.

I’m not as angry as the people assume me to be but I do get pissed of a lot.

The thing that makes me the angriest by far is hypocrisy.

If you don’t know me very well, you need to know one thing:

I don’t give a flying fuck about the beauty standard.

This revelation goes hand in hand with my previous post on my opinions of the imposing opinions of others. Fuck that noise.

Today’s post stems from a conversation that was had last night while bleaching my hair. I’m currently going from black hair to pink so bleaching is needed. I sorely miss having more noticeable unnaturally coloured hair on a daily basis. So bleaching is required. The conversation was had that I needed more than one bleaching session over a span of a few days to completely remove all the black. Fair call. I said it was fine to do one bleach after another because my hair doesn’t generally react too badly to multiple bleaches in a short period. The point was made that if I didn’t bleach over a period of days, my hair would get brittle, thin and fall out due to the fact I’m not 17 anymore with a thick set of hair.

What’s your point?
