Today I made a bad first impression. In my defence it was unknowingly. However it’s probably the best time to know someone- you catch them in their true colours. Anyway it all started with a book-saturated girl, a laptop and a series. Elaborate you say? Well I have a CAT tomorrow which is what I’ve been reading for this whole week. So today when I came from class, I removed my books and plopped them on my bed but for the life of me, I couldn’t make sense of anything. So... what to do, what to do?
The only thing I could think of, watch something! The series “Mad men” came to mind. Had it my laptop for sometime so I decided why not? Halfway through the episode and I remembered why I stopped watching it in the first place. The medieval treatment of women just gets to me! Its really pissing how women are more of beauty objects than equal partners. Am not saying it’s not a nice series, but... I was really pissed at some point where Peggy realises that men at the Ad agency are only after one thing- sex. The shit they pull there can today get you sued for sexual harassment. All those idiotic boys kept passing by her desk making these suggestive glances and I could barely contain my disgust.
So there I was, with a screwed up face, glaring at my laptop screen and cursing each and every dude who passed by Peggy’s desk. Unknown to me at the time, one of my roommates was talking on the phone with some male friend of hers and he happened to overhear every “fuck you!” that spilled from my mouth. (My rage was that intense) So in between my tirade I suddenly hear, “D, say hi.”
“what?”
“Say hi.” A phone being suspended mid-air. I obliged.
“Yeah, that’s the girl who’s fucking.”
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! First of all I wasn’t fucking anyone, I was merely saying the word ‘fuck’. Secondly, how do you just rub my reputation to the ground like that? Okay, we don’t know each other but you don’t know what the future holds!
Judging from their conversation afterwards, it was clear that he didn’t approve of such vulgar language coming from a girl. Probably most people will agree with him, how ladies don’t swear and shit. I think there’s freedom of expression, and if it involves a few vulgar words here and there then I should be left to express them to my heart’s content. If that offends you, the door is always open. Leave.
