Social Housing

I found this long read article on social housing very sobering. I have always been against social housing as a practice, having seen the massive council estates around London and drawing the conclusion that housing people in that way probably isn't such a great way of creating a cohesive friendly prosperous community. And I still think that. BUT the UK is so deep down in their social housing policy that I don't really think there is any way out of it ever.

Reading the article the cause of the problem is so blatantly obvious I really cannot draw any other conclusion than that the politicians of this country really just don't give a fuck about creating a cohesive friendly prosperous community. Like they can't even try to pretend that's what they want when this is what they have created.

I after reading this walk past the TV and it's PM question time, where they are discussing introducing a mansion tax (people who own a property worth more than £2m are to pay £250 a month to fund the NHS) to raise money for the NHS. And it's like what kind of drugs are you taking? You have created this system and you're utterly incapable or utterly reluctant to see and understand cause and effect.

Doesn't matter what public service you look at, it's like they're all on crack. Millions and millions and millions of pounds spent on management consultants and new measures and cost cutting making the entire system inefficient and expensive. Social housing is now so expensive because we've let private landlords in that the councils can't even afford it, solution - REGULATE. Regulate rents, regulate landlords, you have the power and authority to pass legislation to change things!

But no, let's have some kind of farcical question and answers about some bullshit new inefficient measure completely void of any reality check.

We're all fucked.

Just don't say anything

As a man to say anything “funny” about periods or menstruation is disrespectful on a whole different kind of level. Shut your mouth, shut it up completely. Don’t you dare say anything negative, disrespecting or degrading or “funny” at all about periods. 

You have no idea what it’s like. This is a bodily function which is not only crippling for women physically and emotionally, it’s also completely shameful to go through or to talk about. So we’re faced going through is involuntary experience every three weeks, suffering in silence and in shame as we bleed and cramp. Having your period in country and where your income can cover tampons and pads is horrific enough, bleeding through your clothes, your bed, having to take off all your clothes to change a tampon and bleeding all over the office toilet because it a fucking blood bath sometimes is just degrading enough as it is. Imagine having to go through it and not have access to tampons and pads, and so you can’t even hide the fact that you’re on your period, yet it’s still all over the world considered to be something disgusting, shameful that we need to hide, save the world from knowing that we are going through.

So when you say “are you on your period again” or something otherwise degrading about menstruating have a fucking think about what it would be like if you were bleeding out of your ass for a week every month, with stomach cramps and social stigma to go with it and hormones making you pissed off at everything and having some dumb fuck go “you on your period again?" 


How fucking stupid are you? My contempt for men knows no bounds sometimes. 

AAAAARRRGHHHHHH!!!

Being a woman fucking sucks. Every single fucking aspect of being female is so unbelievable shitty compared to being a guy. We really got the worst fucking part of that bargain when they dished out functionality. Let's take a closer look shall we:

Female Bodies generally - weaker, slower.

Reproductive organs - we're crippled by out overly sensitive shitty female reproductive organs which totally fuck us up both physically and emotionally. Damn never ending periods crippling us with pain and discomfort, not to mention the fact that there's a fucking blood bath all the god damn time. When was the last time you bleed all over your clothes, sofa, bed? And not like a cute little nose bleed, oh no some fucking shameful stupid vagina bleeding. And then the BV, the thrush, the urine infections, the painful sex... endless issues with the damn thing
Boy reproductive organs? Only thing of concern - size.

Hormones - all over the god damn place all the god damn time, unbelievable frustrating
Boy hormones? Aggression - seen as a positive in all aspects of society, got you where you are today!

Clothes - uncomfortable tight motherfucking body revealing bullshit. And if I don't dress that way I'm judged as something else (dyke, tomboy, not feminine) . I have to dress that way in order for people to see beyond my clothes and see me.
Boy clothes? Comfortable and practical with enough pocket space to carry all your necessities

Hair - long bullshit fucking hair that needs to be washed and conditioned and styled, cut, colored.
Boy haircuts? Short minimal effort required. Wake up walk out.

Face - the endless cycle of make up, cleansing, toning, scrubbing, peeling, plucking....
Boy face routine? Wake up and walk out, optional shave

Grooming - from head to toe there is not a part of my body that I am not meant to groom in someway, Hair, face, hair under my arms, on my arms, stupid shitty vagina, legs, all over my stupid body I need to remove the stupid har, nails on my hands and on my toes the list goes on and on and on..
Boy grooming? Wake up and walk out, optional face shave.

As a man you will NEVER be judged by the way you look. It's so fucking easy for guys to go "just don't put make up on then if it's so expensive and time consuming, don't bother with all that crap", oh really, if I was to cut my hair in a no-styling needed cut, wear loose fitted comfortable clothes, stop shaving my arm pits and my legs, stop wearing make up I would be treated the same way as I am now? Exactly, so shut the fuck up. When was the last time you didn't get a job because they way you look? I am judged for my exterior and my exterior only as soon as I step outside the fucking house.

AND ON TOP OF THIS SHIT we have to deal with you motherfucking assholes. You degrade us, you molest us, you assault us, you discriminate against us. FUCK YOU. You should worship the fucking ground we walk on, we already have the shittier end of the deal physically and mentally. And you still have the audacity to treat us this way? How fucking dare you.

I want a sex change. Fuck this female bullshit. If I had been born a man I would be richer, healthier happier. Fact.
