So it's, like, I gotta go to work. I gotta go to work and I gotta sit there and be bored and try to sell some stupid vitamins to old people who are extremely suspicious - some are gross - and I get paid like nothing at all for it. I did some calculations, and I could never afford being alive if I had to pay more bills.
And then, once I get home, I have to make dinner - that is, if he won't. I don't want him to, though, because I'm always the one who has to clean up the kitchen, and I don't really know what he's doing when he's cooking, but once he's done, the floor needs to be both vacuumed and swabbed, and the stove has to be cleaned with fucking steel wool. I ask why, and he's like "because it gets messy when you make schnitzels", but it's like... no, dude, it doesn't. Not when I do it. You know? I don't get it.
And this morning I was apparently trying to start a fight or act provocative again because I mentioned Ingvar Kamprad used to be a nazi, and he was like "nazis are good", and I was like, you know, "no, fuck that!". And I'm trying to make him understand that I don't like it when he's making fun of women, and I don't like it when he says poor people just get what they deserve, and I don't like it when he's acting all racist, right? But no, I'm the mean one, because I call myself a feminist and I'm very left-leaning. And I mean, it has me thinking, right? Because I want kids. I want kids, but I want my kids growing up with the same values that I did: that everyone's the same, and that everyone matters just as much, no matter their gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, religion, and so on, and so forth. I don't want a kid and then that kid grows up to hate the poor and look down on women and shit, right? That's my biggest nightmare. I mean, look at my brothers. I've got four biological brothers, raised alone by our mom, and none of them would ever dream about being racist, sexist or hating the poor. That's nice, that's something I'm proud of. My brothers are cool. The 12-year-old even beat a guy in his class up for calling a girl in their class a "muslim whore who should go back to her country". God, I love my brother. He kicks ass.
