First World Rants

[[INACTIVE]]

I asked someone if they had a coke I could drink (Since I'm kinda addicted to coke. Probs why my stomach is a mess) They said yeah and they went to grab one for me. They proceeded to hand me a DIET Coke. I graciously accepted it. But deep in my mind I was angry for no reason. "I ASKED FOR A COKE NOT A DIET AHHHHHH" I said to myself in my head. I'm sitting here thirty minutes later drinking my Diet Coke, still angry for no reason.

There are too many letters in LGBTQIA+.
That's what the plus is for.

I  believe that there has to be a way to shorten this. I also want this shortened because it takes like 10 secinds to rattle of this name in a conversation, and it is kind of clunky to say. So, after a bit of research, I believe that it can be quite comfortably squished into APITH. Asexual, Pansexual, Intersex, Transgender, and Homosexual. Not only is it shorter, but it is relatively accurate. People are probably gonna complain about the combination if categories, but I would like to remind them to not needlessly gender things.
 
I should have better things to do with my life than this, but I don't so use this term if you want, but if you don't, I don't care. To be fair, this is something that I have been having trouble with too, so I wanted a solution I could use and your post was a bit of a catalyst.

There already is one, GSM. Gender and Sexual Minorities. I've seen it said a few times, but I guess people are more used to saying LGBT and are too lazy to switch over. Or rather, the LGBT letters stand together unique on their own, but GSM could stand for something notable already.

Plus people could be pissy about "Gender" being listed first, but I think that's just to make the acronym sound nicer. Same reason why it's most often LGBT, not GLBT

I'm kind of sick of all the talk about how "oppressed" women are in the first world. I believe without a doubt that they are oppressed in third world countries, but in the first world they have more programs working for them than men, and the have equal rights to men. I find it kind of hard to believe someone is oppressed when there is someone waiting to protect them around every corner. One quote that I think sums this up is "In the first world, men protect women and women protect women."

I do find it silly when the internet goes on about 'poor oppressed women'. Like, we're not pansies. That's not to say that there are people who ARE oppressed even in first world countries. Each individual's situation is different and there are definitely people who are worse off than others, though it's not always 'systematic', often just people or groups being terrible people to others. And anyone can be oppressed, doesn't matter their sex or appearance or income level etc.

Sorry if I sound kinda vague, I just woke up :p

Men and women both are advantaged and disadvantaged society-wise, just in different areas. Largely due to typical behavior expected of one or the other in a given situation. I have more to say on that issue, but I'm on my tablet and it's a pain to type long posts, plus this thread isn't the place for it.

Anyway, my shoulders have been aching lately.

I'm not saying that there can't be women that are oppressed in first world countries, just that they aren't oppressed as a group. Let's move on from this. I just wanted to specify that because my original post made me sound kind of rude.

Tea is kind of expensive.

I pulled an all-nighter playing vidya games, and now I'm starting to feel it.  I can't go to sleep until at least 8 pm though, otherwise I'll start to mess up my sleep schedule. Just need to stay up till then...

Also my shoulder's been sore lately too. I must have slept on it wrong the other night.
