Gender is really weird and it depresses me too much to even think about it anymore. One time I was IMing with someone, and she said that she had gotten fat again and now men sort of didn't pay much attention to her anymore, but that she was back on a better regimen, and would probably be thinner again in about a year. I was disgusted by how matter-of-fact the tone seemed, and how practical and irrevocable all of it was, and I just found it completely unthinkable that anyone could ever bother going through the motions of something that absurd. I don't mean that I judge her for it, only that I'm revolted that this really is all that there is in the whole world.
Maybe it struck me as so bizarre and fucked up because it was AIM and I couldn't actually see that she was fat, so it didn't really make any sense to me.
