Re: Open Source "Are You Fucking Kidding Me?" Project

Man, that's weird. I was probably AT that ConFusion where it started. I have heard nothing about it until today (though I did not go to Penguicon, so...)

But it's like standing next to a grenade when it goes off and not noticing it.

A very creepy grenade.

Shir is definitely one of us. The other day I was in the grocery store and an employee who was restocking started small-talking to me. All I could think was, "Why are you talking? No talking. Do I look like a person who wants talking?"

To be safe, I think I need a NO shirt in multiple languages.

I fear that my response to the boob project participant who said that touching 12 breasts freed him from high school traumas was "Well, of course. They were the only breasts you've ever touched."

BWAH!

Yeah, I didn't read all the posts and back-and-forth and whatnot. Just, part of me was like: "Dude, sf geeks and the cons they go to have a bad enough rap in re: social retardation and incompetence. You are Not Helping.

Also, if you need to touch more boobs to be free of high school...then you shall never be free of high school."

I wish this was the kind of world where say, 'Wow, I'd like to punch you in the face,' and people would understand that it's not a way of reducing you to a set of bruises and ignoring the rest of you, but rather a way of saying that I may not yet know your mind, but your face inspires passion.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Love this.

I was thinking "PROPRIETARY" or possibly "PATENTED," myself.

"Righteous woman, would you like Sabbath candles?"

This made me laugh and laugh. Mostly because of the idea of someone addressing *me* as "righteous woman."

I don't think I'm a negative sociopath person, though some of my friends may disagree, but when it comes to dealing with the rest of the mankind here's the thing: I rather not. It takes time, effort, sometimes money, and most of the times I'll end up frustrated. I'm having enough trouble to clarify my thoughts to my friends as is, so to strangers? Almost no good can come out from that.

Oh look, Shir is me. Hi me!

And me! Hi, me and me!

Open Source Knuckle Sandwich Project

Also: the Open Source Swift Kick to the Balls project:

As we all know, many women long to give a swift kick in the balls to some male person or other. Yet all too often women are prohibited from doing so.

Sometimes this is due to our culture's repressive attitudes toward female violence or because of societal pressure for women to behave in "ladylike" and feminine ways. At times women must censor themselves from administering a good solid boot to the greater masculine crotch due to historically justified fear of reprisal. At yet other times it is nothing more or less than men's self-serving, self-glorifying attitudes toward their precious little patriarchal testicles that lead them to cravenly avoid supporting women's emotional and political expression.

It made *me* think of "Octopus woman, please let me go".

I may need that one on a t-shirt.

Dude, the open source boob project sent me seething. Partly, because I don't know what the appropriate response is to that question, other than to take a pic and post to Holla Back.

I mean, my physical response is to spit in the face of the person asking the question. It seems the most appropriate and least violent (in terms of arrest and prosecution) option. Words fail. A big lung clam in the face seems to me the best way to shock and dehumanize the offender in the same way they'd be dehumanizing me.

I don't understand what the dude didn't get about it being on par with getting harassed on the subway.
