Being A Woman Just Thwarted My Plans

I readily call myself a “feminist” and identify as female thus a woman. Recently, I was rejected by this guy I’m “dating” (read: fucking), because I am what I am. Maybe, I’m being histrionic, but he definitely turned me down for a scheduled weekend trip because I was on my period, to add insult to injury: my subsequent offer of anal sex.

The story goes a little something like this: A drunk dial leads to an invitation by The Revolutionary to come visit. However, the beginning of the week, Mother Nature decides to deliver her gift. Knowing how much Revolutionary loves cunnilingus, I tell him that I’m on the rag and mention my butt! His “gut reaction” was to reschedule for the following week.

I told him that I didn’t know how to feel about rescheduling, to which he explicitly complimented my nether regions; which made it only slightly better. We’re supposed to be linking up this weekend, for a long overdue tryst.

However, since this incident, I’ve been wondering is a rejection of my period, my womanhood essentially, a rejection of me as a whole? Does this mean that I can be sure we’re just “using” each other for sex?

HNYC Links | Talking to Strangers, The Kind of Girl I Am, Lena Dunham Pantless, WOC Talk Back


The Kind Of Girl I Am (Thought Catalog)
"Because I am the kind of girl who will call you too much — who will fall neatly under the labels of “crazy” or “needy” because her emotions tend to spill out all at once, and in full color."

Lena Dunham Goes Sans Pants for Terry Richardson in V Magazine (Fashionista)

"Welp, it looks like someone‘s New Year‘s resolutions didn’t involve wearing more pants! Girls creator and star Lena Dunham has found herself bottomless once again, this time on the pages of V Magazine‘s latest issue as photographed by Terry Richardson. Obviously."
"There's crazy things normal people do and there's crazy things crazy people do..."

"If you haven't seen the music video for 2 Chainz's "Birthday Song," the refrain is, "All I want for my birthday is a big-bootied hoe." The video reduces women to bouncing breasts and backsides; one women is actually laid out on a table covered in frosting."

HAPPY NEW YEAR, LIL' NYC HATERS!!!


This year, I promise to write more provocative posts and get you to comment and weigh in. Suggestions are welcome... I'll be submitting more editorial pieces around the web this year as well, which I'll link back. 2013 #cantwait


EDIT: The Revolutionary and I are back on! Dating neuroticism, ftl...turns out, finals were an uphill battle all around.
