Gossip is a passive aggressive way to express anger. Humans who regularly engage in gossip are not trustworthy. I prefer to express myself directly. It’s none of my business if someone else wants to gossip though. I’ve got my hands full monitoring my own defects of character, one of which is rage at being subjected to gossip. I need to change the subject or leave the conversation entirely when gossip starts because it enrages me. Gossip enrages me because usually the person doing it is as big of an asshole as the one they’re bitching about.

Practice wtf religion you want, just keep that $#%^ away from me.

It was several years ago. I didn’t know what a mra was because I prefer not to spend all my time on the internet, for my own sake. He was a white man, as most mra are, as far as I can tell & not too bright. He read one book in all his 30-something years. But he still thought of himself as imparting great wisdom when he’d lecture me ad nauseum about how bad hetero white men have it.

Look how many hetero white men are committing suicide! Look how many hetero white men are losing children in custody battles! Look how many hetero white men have to pay alimony to those bad bad hetero white women! Look how many hetero white men have to pay for dating those bad bad hetero white women! Circumcision is genital mutilation!

It’s not fair!!!

...& don’t even get me started on those mean mean feminists!

Ain’t no creep, like an internet creep,
‘cause an internet creep,
creeps on the internet.

Just joking. Humans who identify as male are some of my favorite people. Misogynistic creeps are my least favorite humans. Why wouldn’t they be? Who wants to associate with misogynistic creeps besides other misogynistic creeps?
