So fucking sick of this shit!
I'm at the random store of choice today, right? Some chick is coming up behind me as I enter the door, so I'm a gentleman, smile, hold the door for her, and pretend the little twinge of nausia at my own generosity is just my throat being cleared, when the all-too-common phrase is uttered:
"I can open my own doors, thank you!"
What the fuck?! I know, I know, chivalry is dead and all that bullshit, but that's just plain fucking rude. Ruder still is the fact that it's becoming commonplace around here. Women are rejecting any acts of kindness from men; Even the acts of kindness that we are often compelled to show men! I mean, come on, when someone's going through a door behind me, I hold it for them. Even if it was Osama himself, I'd be a decent Cell and hold the door.
But NOOOOOO, since she's female, I must be presuming that she can't do anything for herself (insert random glass ceiling rant here).
So, I've come to a conclusion. For the rest of the year (what little of it is left), every time someone is in a place for my kindness to erupt mercifully upon them, I will instead choose to be rude. I'll slam doors in faces, play my stereo so loud the car beside me shakes at the stoplight, and bitchsmack everyone who asks me how I'm doing. That should make my point nice and clear :)
DISCLAIMER: I'm not sexist, I'm just sick of the rudeness because of people's own views. If I'm being nice, it's a fucking cold day in hell, so relish the existence. Also, nope, not interested in sexist comments, pro-male or pro-female propaganda, nor arguments as to why I should be nice. Screw it, they're rude to me, I'm rude to them.
