Huh?
Get Over Yourself
"Women who speak up for themselves are rude.
Men who disagree will be scolded.
Those who insist will be ostracized.
I agree with and support your culture, just don't tell me it's normal.
Don't tell me I'm not better than you; that I don't know better than you.
You, who ignore my cries will be replaced, criticized and held as an outlet to my righteous anger.
Everything you say I am is a lie
Everything you say I did, I will turn back on you.
I am the wise one.
I am the champion."
...OR...
Maybe you're just a
misogynistic,
homophobic,
narcissist
who shines only through their blinding arrogance.
Get over yourself!
