Valentine's Day 2015 Animadversion

Why I fucking hate heterosexuals.  There is this quote of late--especially today--much attributed to Marilyn Monroe, which goes:  "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure.  I make mistakes, I am out

of control and hard to handle.  But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."  Of course, in all fairness to Marilyn, there is no credible record of her having said any such thing, nor any record of her having on any other occasion called herself "selfish."  The important thing is that a lot of people think she did say--or might have said--something like this, and they're taking advantage of it to excuse their being assholes.  Assholes are people (mostly women, but also women's apologists) who don't realize that being selfish is not a minor, but a fucking huge major character flaw, far different and far worse, and infinitely less forgivable, than being impatient and insecure and out of control.  Or actually I think they do realize it, and just sneak it in along with what are, if anything, foibles, not defects, so that they can get a free pass for being what is--short of cruel and indifferent to the suffering of others--the ugliest and evilest thing a human being, even a woman, can be.
