We would rather stare at a screen instead of have a tangible, emotional interaction with someone. We never make time to actually connect with people sans screens anymore. I’ve begun to notice that …

Pretty much the epitome of my feelings right now.

It came not with a WooHoo, but with a whimper.

Well that’s the first positive thing I’ve heard from EA/Maxis in a very, VERY long time.

Be better than these guys.

I’ve met at least 8 of the 10 gay guys who are mentioned here. Especially the needlessly bitchy ones. Please don’t be any of them if you haven’t become them yet. I hardly believe you dislike petty drama if you have to constantly insist that you don’t like it, at least own the fact that you do.

It’s Not That Difficult to be Nice

First and foremost I write this with full recognition that I am bound to offend someone and I own the fact that I am not absolved of any guilt myself. That being said I want to ask a question to my fellow gay peers. 

I recently spoke to a friend who works with a gay man and even she quoted him saying “I can’t help but be a bitch” to which they laughed and as much of a joke it probably was, I know that on some level there’s truth to that. All my life ever since I came out of the closet and had my first gay club experience, I’ve always had a hard time understanding why gay men insist on taking pride in being bitchy/stuck up/etc. And I’m at that point of being convinced that if someone is taking offense to this question, it’s either because they know I’m right and/or they’re in denial. The point is whatever we call ourselves, sweethearts more times than not does not seem to fit. Why is that? Why is it cool to be mean and disrespectful to one another? Why is it a thing talk trash behind each other’s backs and degrade one another?

Majority of us pride ourselves connect well to one another on the fact that we’ve seen Mean Girls and I know we know what it’s about. Do we love it for the message of the story or do we love it because there’s a lot of cattiness and the movie is called ‘Mean’ Girls? It feels like the latter and I keep questioning why? Again it’s not that hard to look at things from different perspectives and be nice and show compassion.

Aww, it’s really sweet.

It’s no fun to feel envy or jealousy because both make you feel inadequate. Envy is when you want what someone else has, but jealousy is when you’re worried someone’s trying to take what you have. If you want your neighbor’s new convertible, you feel envy. If she takes your husband for a ride, you feel jealousy.

Just a pet peeve of mine.

Toxic Masculinity Claims Life of Another Asian American Woman

Last week, toxic masculinity claimed its latest victims. In Mukilteo, Washington, 19-year-old Allen Ivanov has been arrested after driving to a house party where several of his high school friends …

Sad to know she was a victim of masculinity at it’s worse. My condolences to her family and friends.  This is why I need feminism in my life.
