I'm an idiot.
My blood starts boiling too fast, and whilst I do feel compassion, I also feel the urge to grab my favourite rolling pin and use it on the skulls of plonkers!
What's making me growl today?
This:
It's still my bloody planet, and I'm furious.
I'd love to watch that documentary. It looks extremely interesting.
I just tweeted about it, but I'm so angry that I feel the urge to tell the world how I feel.
Do I have something to say about the beauty contest? Not much. Yes, oh, sweet Merlin it's a degrading exploitation of looks (and possibly of young women's dreams), but it bugs me a lot less than the rest of what we're shown in these extracts - and the lady who tells young women to go with change because that's the only constant in life was quite awesome (and she's got a point!).
First, the "lady" we see from the start should be smacked. Bloody hell! When she asks the young girls (who look either scared or bored or outraged, by the way) if it's okay for them to even want a career, I wanted to shout at my screen 'YES!!!'.
Yes, it's okay because they're not slaves, because they've got their own lives, and because the idiot who's lecturing them is, pardon me, not exactly staying at home since she's on a bloody stage telling gals to do as she says, but not as she's doing.
Hell, I could punch her...and there goes my bloody karma!
Then, the male Hindu extremists we see, in courageous and righteous mobs [*gags*], attacking young women make me sick. I'll admit that I wasn't aware of the extent of the issue until I saw these images. And when I saw these images, I wished I could use my aforementioned rolling pin on them. This is no joke; these people are awakening a monster in me that could/would become violent if confronted with them.
Next, the young girl at the camp. The way she's been brainwashed is making me so sad. The bipeds who scrambled her brain cells so much that she'd kill never did anything to deserve her.
The so-called father in the part where his delightful daughter is considered a "product" (yes, we get it, Cupcake, your lil' contribution in her DNA allows you to say that you own her [*gags again*]) is a complete disgrace. That sinister plonker was blessed with a good child and what does he do? He tortures her for pretending to have done her homework when she hadn't finished it. I loathe that biped. His problem isn't that his brain's stuck in a cave; it's that he doesn't have a heart and that he's convinced that he's got the right to treat his daughter like a property, a piece of furniture.
He's another candidate for my rolling pin.
What I see in this is boys (whatever their age!) being encouraged to treat women like slaves - because they're made to think that it's the right thing to do and that they've got the right to do so. In the meantime, the girls are being brainwashed or scared into obeying and allowing boys to boss them around.
I hate that.
That's not the planet I want, and I wish I could protect these children and educate them in compassion, tolerance and a healthy dose of "mind your own business".
I'd be in sooooo much trouble if I lived over there.
