I hate that one part of the "Autism Speaks" video, where that one mother is changing her 5 year old son, making a big stink about it. I had a bit of that problem at his age, having accidents, once or twice a month. Though that problem reappeared in full force, I'm independent, and living on my own, and I handle my own "messes" quite well. I'd like to take a pair of soiled Adult Pull-ups and rub them in that mother's face, to show her how bad her attitude stinks. If I can get as far in life as I am, now than that precious little boy will get as far as me, and he will be able to handle his problem, as well as I handle mine. She isn't a mum, she's a wicked MOTHER!
Buuuuurrrrrrrpppppp!! !! !! !!
I am so sick of being used by people when and as it suits them and ignored when and as it suits them, like something that can be turned on and off...like some little inconvenience that has to be kept at a distance... I am so so so angry. I f'ing not trusting anyone again. DISHONOURABLE!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! I always manage to delude myself that humans are more than they are. There is no such thing as honour or decency among males.

but you can't let it get to you...
it's not gonna do anything good getting mad at them-trust me!
I believe that there is.
In fact, here is my rant: Why do people always have to make crass over-generalisations just because they have had a bad experience with one person?
All I end up hearing is 'All men are this', 'All NTs are this', 'All ethnic minorites are this'... etc.
I just wish that more people became less hypocritical in their bigotry and learned to avoid it in all forms
and I wish you would shut the F up and let people rant without having to censor their words to suit you. It is a rant forum...look up the definition of the word. And just leave me the hell alone, you are really p**sing me off now. If I want to over generalise in the heat of the moment, I damn well will.
It left me shouting about how I would get a rifle and shoot their brains out, or smash their tools into their skulls. I hate them so much for causing me so much distress...

Maybe you could hate the noise but not the men? I mean, I imagine they are just doing the job they are paid to do to earn a living.
I am WELL AWARE of that. I am not stupid. This is called a rant thread for a reason and I shall hate what I wish when I am angry.
Well that was my rant of having to much experience of low paid work where people would just b***h at me for trying to do my job. I mean I worked in a supermarket one time and you would get these rich people coming in who had never done a days work in their lives themselves complaining about the store and making me feel bad about earning my living.

Ok... I thought I was entitled to rant about what bugged me too. Do I need to wait until my post count is higher before I do that or something?
Anyway, my point was a genuine one: why is it acceptable to display bigotry against some groups in the heat of rage but not others? What would be the reaction on here for example if I said 'goddamn, I hate all people with AS'?? ...probably not good yet it is acceptable to say all men lack honour and decency and that all NTs are scum. It just seemed like an interesting hypocrisy to me.
Second rant of the minute: I wish people on this forum would stop swearing at me.

I think the word "all" was not used/ment by Graelwyn. She is just expressing all the men she has been interested in have turned out to be scum. She is intelligent and not bigoted and knows 100% of men are not scum. If she had real life girl friends this would be something she would expressed to them rather than here on WP. So I would not get worked up about it. In the Haven section you say postive things to people and assume the best about their intention and meanings.

So does that mean if a black man were to behave badly towards me I would be justified in posting comments like 'I hate n****rs' or if an Aspie offended me, it would be ok for me to rant about all Aspies being scumbags?
It wasn't just that particular comment; I just picked up on it because I spotted it as I came to the thread to have a rant about some of the more extreme examples that I read on this forum a lot (especially the NT one) and also hear in real life all the time. Sometimes people get a little self-obsessed and think that everything revolves around themselves and every comment is directed toward them.
It just seems that there is a double standard on these kind of things and that was what I wanted to rant about. Even just on this forum, posts that display any kind of negativity towards AS and Aspies are received harshly whereas directing anger at say, NTs is pretty much encouraged.
Yes, it is true, my experiences with males have been for the most part, highly negative, but I do not automatically assume that all males are that way. I am sure and know at some level there are some very decent and good ones out there, including a few on here. I just tend to exhibit some black and white thinking when I am upset or angry, hence I use the rant thread for it. I am generally one to roll my eyes if I hear girls gossiping together about males and how bad they all are, lol.
Anyone who says they do not have double standards in one way or another is either a hypocrite or a fluke. Anyone here ever heard of doublethink? From Nineteen Eighty-Four? It's not dissimilar to having double standards. Doublethink is defined as being able to hold two contradictory notions in mind, and accepting them both, sometimes simultaneously....

Saying all men/woman are scum is a normal thing people say when frustrated over relationships. Yeah their is a double standard if you say racist things or trash asperger your likely to be banned. Claiming about the opposite gender is an okay thing.
I've really gotten out of shape the past few years and I hate how bad my body looks now. I won't even go into what breastfeeding has done to me
.
I feel like crap and I wish I could get that good feeling again when I used to run everyday. I miss the peace I would feel during and how much it helped me focus.
I hate going to school full time and not having time to clean the house and then having my husband throw his trash everywhere and make a complete mess. My house is disgusting and we currently have no clean dishes and I can't see the sink.
I wish my husband would stop TOUCHING MY STUFF. Why can't he respect the fact that I need my own personal space.
I have a 6 year old and an almost 2 year old and they are both neater than him and they don't break my things and mess with my papers. They don't even annoy me as much as he does.
I just want peace and quiet. I want to go on a vacation all by myself.
Hey, I feel a little better now. I think?

not all guys are bad-but people tend to think that way when bad experiances with people...
it's not wrong-you have every right to feel that way

Ok, then based on my past experience, all women are slu*ty prostitute b*****s
So here's my rant.
I am sick and tired of people going, "Oh I feel so bad and so horrible and no one loves me." and not considering that maybe other people have problems too. Because the world is about them, right?
I am sick of them thinking that they control everything. They cry out for attention, talk all the time about horrible they feel, how bad their life is, how much they want to die. But if someone says something about them? Oh, no, they blow a f***ing gasket. Because no one else is allowed to speak, right? How hypocritical. They only want to hear support. Guess what? Life comes with positives and negatives. Get used to it. If you don't like it, tough.
And furthermore, I'm tired of them whining about how badly they feel but doing nothing about it except grumble. There comes a point where you've got to help yourself. If you plan on just sitting there forever and a day, you do not deserve my pity. If you try to do something about it then you deserve support, and I will gladly help. Go out and get a pyschologist or something. If you sit there forever, nothing is going to get done.
And I'm not talking about people who have just started with problems. I'm talking about people who have had these problems for months or years, who do nothing about it, but could do something about it.
