Just about everything annoys and/or upsets me.

Like most NTs, I get annoyed easily with people, including myself.

But the most thing I find most annoying of all is our culture. I've just found out that it's ''wrong'' for women to have thick eyebrows, so now I've got another chore to do, which is sit and pluck my eyebrows every 3 weeks or so, and it hurts! It makes my eyes water. It's not fair. Why do women have so much pressure?! I look just as pretty with or without thick eyebrows - what's the big deal?! I get annoyed that men can take or leave shaving and not get ridiculed about it, but a woman can't take or leave plucking eyebrows or shaving legs, unless we want to be ridiculed about it. Most men shave their faces, but it doesn't really matter if they choose to grow a beard. They have the choice to grow a hairy chest. They have thick hair on their arms and legs, which ''doesn't matter''.
If women ''aren't allowed'' to have hairs (except long hair on their head), then why has nature given us body hair?

Where's the fairness in that? Sexist or what?! !! :x

Cultural relativism


I totally relate to everything bolded.

Can you explain cultural relativism. I looked it up and it said : Cultural relativism is the principle that an individual human's beliefs and activities should be understood in terms of his or her own culture. I'm going to need some clarification.

Here are some things that annoy me:

Homophobia
Ageism (although sometimes I am guilty of this - I wish I wasn't)
Status Quo, especially a very rigid one
People expecting me to be cardboard cutouts of them.


Cultural relativism is a position in moral philosophy where morality is relative to one's culture. This sounds fine until you actually think of what the implications are. If you follow moral relativism to its logical conclusion, then things like honour killings and sexual abuse of children are okay for the cultures where they are accepted as normal.

One reason I reject moral relativism so strongly is because I'm in favour of LGBT rights as an absolute, rather than making concessions for homophobic cultures.

People that believes and lives to be too precious, too cool, too hot, and also those, too fragile, too special, too broken to be loved or for love but still looks and demands for it. :roll:

people who say they are feminists but dont accept transpeople. thats not how it works. you're not a femminist if you are not accepting of them.

when people want gay marriage or fight for gay rights. why? because the queer community isn't gay and lesbian only. like the stonewall inn(oxford st) putting a gay and lesbian sign on their front. adding lesbian to gay does not mean you are being inclusive.

same sex attracted people who dont accept gender diverse same sex attracted people. ie same sex attracted guys who dont like flamboyant guys because they like "real men".

people who think asexuals are repressed or havent met the right person.

monosexism from homosexuals.

two and a half men, the nanny and i dream of jeannie.

our prime minister who is living in a defacto relationship saying that marriage between a man and a woman is an important value central to australian culture and therefore same sex and same gender marriage is not going to be legalised. hypocrite.

when the church and state forget they are separate.

when the population forgets the church and state are separate.

when the law doesnt protect minority groups from discrimination by the majority despite the majority's opinion. see same sex marriage for example.(although it must be noted that the majority is ok with it anyway).

people who want to fix me.

man the world pisses me off.

The absolute nonsense that is often posted on Facebook is annoying and half the reason I don't use it much, I just happened to take a look now.

People who spit on the ground I find that revolting.

People who mock Abba they obviously haven't listened to their songs other than the hits they had.

People who kill animals just to stick their heads on walls that really makes me angry.

People who try and push in when everyone is queuing up.

Workplace gossip is really annoying me right now. The really bad part is that I often have other people come up to me and talk bad about someone else that I work with. I think it's because I've developed a reputation as a good listener who won't turn around and tell the other person what was said. I feel kind of bad listening to it.
