ktempest just happened to link to this, and then pantryslut emailed it to me--but OMFG! This is not only hilarious, but totally on point.Get out of my HEAD, woman:
"So when you say something others think is sexist or racist or whatever, and they call you on it, and you come back with immediate denial, it's like sphincter-print camouflage. It makes you look just like all the other assholes. And you can't see why.
This is what happens when you have blind spots, folks. People sock you in them. You run afoul of someone who can see what you're doing, even if you don't realize you're doing it, and when they point it out, you will often lunge straight into their outstretched finger and get poked in the eye. Because you are blind. The great irony is that, if you think people are constantly poking you in the eye, you are a lot less likely to open your eye, aren't you? Even though that's the only cure for this sort of blindness: look where the fuck you are going before you go there."
