Day 02 - Your least favorite song

Katy. Fucking. Perry.

I Kissed a Girl Katy Perry - The funniest videos clips are here

For one thing there is a much better song by the same name with some actual emotional substance but there are few songs that inspire the level of incoherent, frothing anger in me that this one does, so I'm going to descend into capslock rage for a minute here.

Now that that's out of my system, I should add that my opinion of the above is greatly colored by the fact that I once knew someone who basically did exactly this, mainly "try me on" for a bit and then out of nowhere decide she was going to dump me for a guy and declare that she wasn't really bisexual, and I was an "experiment". It's been years, but she can still go fuck herself for all I care. I have absolutely no problem with bisexual people and people who are exploring their sexuality because God knows I've been there, but I do have a problem with people who use other people, treat them like shit and then toss them away like toilet paper when they're done with them. That's a guaranteed way to end up on my Shit List in pen. I hate this song because it embodies that sort of selfish, uncaring attitude distilled to its worst.

Er... okay

I dunno, the idea of medically regulating your period to be every 3 months instead of once a month with a pill weirds me out, especially the slogan they're using:

"Who says that time of the month has to be every month?"

Let's see: your body, nature, evolutionary history, biology, your hormones, your age... I could go on.

I'm sorry, but I trust those more than a pharmaceutical company trying to push a drug I don't need, because A.) I'm not having heterosexual sex and B.) there's no medical reason for me to take that pill short of "convenience" which doesn't pass muster in my book.

The sociologist in me also wonders about the medicalization of something that is perfectly normal for a healthy woman to have. It's like how the number of cesarean sections have increased dramatically not because there's any medical need for them, but because it's more convenient for the doctors than having to wait through a natural labor (that's a post of its own). Look, I know periods are a pain and it's unpleasant, but I'm not inclined to mess with it. I once had a straight girl I know try to convince me that it's a wonderful thing and makes you life so much better, but I gave the same reason why I haven't.

Now, I know women who are basically handicapped when their period shows up and I'm not going to fault them for taking a pill to regulate it, but for me it's not something I'd do. Generally speaking I'm inclined to leave well enough alone as far as my body goes.

And the obligatory video from Saturday Night Live that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter:
