We're not all like that! [Dec. 22nd, 2009|10:38 pm]
With the holidays upon us, the insistence by some Christians in the U.S. that they must do/say Some Batshit Crazy Stuff, You Know, For Jesus is in full swing. Curtly insisting we say Merry Christmas and not Happy Holidays, etc.

When things like this are discussed, the phrase "But we're not all like that!" or "They're not really a _____" come up pretty often. And damn, it tends to bug me. This is not just a Christian culture thing, but that one is pretty ubiquitous in this part of the world. (side note: totally just spelled ubiquitous correctly on the first go!)

I understand and in many ways agree with the saying of such phrases. I think it's important for each person to work to define the cultures they are a part of, and part of that is verbalizing what that individual does and doesn't think is acceptable behavior for the culture. I'm also fully aware that in any big group, there are going to be variety and outliers. I get it.

On the other hand, I get irritated. Mostly, I'm irritated by people who seem to think saying this sort of thing is a get out of jail free card for not considering what they need to do to change their culture---which, if they're going to claim it but not certain parts of it, I think they are obligated. If you're "not all" like the Christians who keep trying to snatch away the homorights, well, what are you doing to let the Christians in your culture know that that isn't acceptable? Telling me "that person isn't really a Christian" means squat if a lot of you are going around banging on about the same things and you keep mum for fear of rocking the boat.

I see this out of men as well. Some man does something ubermisogynistic and on come the declarations of "But hey, I'm not like that!" Yep, I didn't say you were---but why the quick declaration? Same concept---it's just a quick get out of jail free card for not examining hey, why *do* so may men do misogynistic shit?

In these cases, I sometimes feel like someone is waiting for their head pat from the audience, to be declared "one of the good ones." And hell, they very well might be---but chances are, those ones aren't insisting on being absolved of the problems of their culture, they're actually doing something about them.

  • 01:25 Dear friend, on my impending visit: "We're going to be up each other's butts." DF's fiance: "That's hot." #
  • 17:26 20 inches of snow means some incredible inertia. Yeah, I'm stuck inside for 3 days, but please, don't expect me to clean or some shit. Pffft #
  • 22:25 Just wrote to thank a teacher I had 7 years ago. Here's hoping it reaches him. #

It's still coming down a piling up. Will probably be two feet accumulated by Sunday morning. We have a blizzard warning, believe it or not!

  • 16:44 Hurray! Super embarrassing movie I do in fact want to see has come to netflix's instant play. Brb, engaging in shameful behavior. #
  • 18:25 Yep, that was as embarrassing and terrible as I thought it would be. #
  • 20:49 I know I'm still young bc when former employees that I don't know visit I get "How old are you? Yeah, before you were born." as the answer. #
  • 22:30 It's not wrong to hit on someone because they remind you of a Glee character, is it? I'm voting "if it is, don't wanna be right." #

  • 16:20 I feel bad when I don't share my sister's buden, and just as bad when I do. #
  • 19:50 My classroom sign interpreter has deaf parents, so though she is hearing herself, ASL is actually her first language. How badass is that? #
  • 21:05 Just ate a kumquat and slice of persimmon. Was surprisingly more into the kumquat. #

  • 23:11 @firefaerie I think you should retaliate with something gross as well. Anything with heavy garlic should learn 'em a thing or two ;-) #
  • 20:41 If you're wondering if I want you to, I want you to. #
  • 22:33 Pet ownership: being treated as if it's a privilege to chase down and pull poo off a small creature's backside. #
  • 22:34 Santa, if you are real, you will bring me an electric blankie. Or the cast of Glee. Either way, no more super chilly bedsheets! #

  • 15:46 Bunny is 'helping' me sew by moving the foot pedal. Often when my foot is still on it. #
  • 22:38 @jmhodges Thanks for letting all your internet friends know I'm a nerd and a pervert. Cuts down on the explaining I normally have to do. #
  • 22:43 The Princess and the Frog was the most awesome thing to ever awesome. Please go see it immediately. Take the kids, adults, and glow-butts. #

  • 23:56 "I want to hear you say the F word, just do it." "Just whisper it into my ear." Cue major blushing. #
  • 23:58 This wall/window is so poorly insulated I can actually *feel* the cold radiating off of it. Time to get on that curtaining project. #
  • 22:41 I would, in all seriousness, like footie pjs. It is balls cold in my apartment and I am not good at indoor sock wearing. Don't ask why. #
  • 22:45 My bunny keeps chinning my shoe. Why is he claiming my damn mary jane? He can't wear it. I only have two and he has four feet. #

  • 01:53 @jmhodges Whoa, parades in SF are upside down! And here I only thought that happened if you were below the equator. #
  • 11:39 Peeve: banging on about what a "good girl" you are. 1. Are you a dog? 2. You probs just mean sexually "pure" and a doormat, which is lamey #
  • 12:32 So, is knowing what long underwear is a cultural/regional thing? Holla if you know what it is, I guess. This will surely be v. scientific. #

  • 13:37 I hadn't see the Snuggle bear in a commercial for a couple years until just now, and ye gods, it creeped my shit, though it never did before #
  • 13:41 We're getting 2-4 inches of snow today, which necessitates a "winter weather advisory" in the great state of Virginia. Bwahahaha. #
  • 15:11 @jmhodges Achilie's heal? Tragic Flaw? Either way, it's 31 here; they'd be in your nose. #
  • 15:51 Raise a glass, friends! Today is the 76th anniversary of boozing being re-legalized. May you get legally shit faced and God Bless America. #
