40 days of bullshit

[bravest_unsaid]

I keep meaning to post about escorting, but I find it very difficult to string together anything coherent in the state of exhaustion/frustration that almost always follows. Today, I was perhaps more exhausted/frustrated than ever, but I have spiked my mango lemonade with Stoli and will endeavor to continue.

God, anti-choicers make me sick. Vile, sorry excuses for human beings.

What you're doing is so great and important. Thank you.

.....douchbag as an insult is sexist.
This sounds like a very costly but worthwhile thing to be doing. I'm glad you're finding it of value, and while I would assume you vent to other escorts, if you ever want to vent to me, I'm around!

I think of douchebag can be a feminist insult because douching is a practice that is harmful for women, borne of the misogynist belief that vaginas are unclean and need to be sanitized. When I use douchebag, I consider myself to be reclaiming it: Yes, douchebags suck. They suck not because they are gross, but because their existence and the myth of their necessity is gross.

I appreciate the offer and may one day take you up on it.

I am ambiguous about the term.
Rational invective is hard!

thank you for defending these women, sandi! what's especially dumb is probably like 80 percent of them are not getting abortions... oy

we had a pro-life protest at the clinic in my town a whole once. there were three people. (when i say downcomment that i wanted to escort, i meant at the clinic in the next county) anyway, they had some really amazing quotes (the best being, 'you know... i'm really surprised...' 'what about?' 'well, i mean, i've been looking at all the girls coming in today, and they seem to be evenly black AND white!' WHAT?!), among which being, 'I CAN'T BELIEVE *SO MANY PEOPLE* ARE HAVING ABORTIONS IN ONE DAY!!!!'

i sat out watching them in my car for about two hours. i told them why i was there (to make sure they didn't break the bubble law) and we pretty much ignored each other. but i decided i should go into PP and ask them if the protesters had given them any trouble besides standing there, and on my way in i said to them, 'oh, don't worry about me, i'm just heading in for a sec to kill my baby.' this did not amuse them at all. XD

Our site coordinator has suggested that it would be amusing to put up a red light and a bell that would flash and ring every 10 minutes, at which point we would cheer and hug and perhaps sing "Another One Bites the Dust." It's hard to tell whether they actually believe any particular thing they say, but they're always claiming how we just looove abortions and we want everyone to have an abortion because it is our favorite ever and maybe we also sell the body parts for MAD CASH on the black market. (Yeah, no, they say that. O has a list with prices for fetus body parts on one of her signs.)

He and O lunged at this car (harassers just love to shove themselves in car windows and car doors and harass people before they have even emerged and sometimes when they have just pulled over to ask for directions)

...can i just say that if someone did that to me, i would begin SCREAMING MY HEAD OFF???? i would be ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED WHAT THE FUCK!

i am very impressed by your work and the work of the other escorts, though. that must really take a toll on you. i wanted to be an escort but i don't think my PTSD would do well with it. :( anyway, good work, and i also hope that these assholes calm down after lent!
