The Age of Aquarius

Part of it is being this side of fifty.

Way this side of fifty.

I care much less today than I ever have in my life about what you think of me and I want to do and be authentic more than ever. It rubs me the wrong way, it puts me off balance to smile politely at what you say.

I have less tolerance for fools.

I am tired of other people being entitled to define who and what I am.

I just read a piece on misandry and antimisandry.

Misandry is the hatred of males. A term that must have been coined recently, because when I looked for the opposite of misogyny thirty years ago there wasn't a word. Misanthropy meaning hatred of mankind or all people.

So this guy went and found misandry and defining feminism as the radical notion that men are not people.

That's not what feminists believe.

I know.

I'm a feminist and its not what I believe.

Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.

I'm tired of people telling me what I do believe or what I should believe.
