Oh Goddamnit

Feministe has a story about the hilarious outdated "Carousel of Progress" at Disney World.

Woo-hoo, yes, let's complain about the sexist nature of the ride and the unrepentant way that even the future imagines minorities and women as nonexistent and secondary, respectively. La la la feminism ra ra ra. Whatever.

Know what makes me actually mad? I now have the *&#^%&*^%!! song from that goddamned ride stuck in my head. ::sings:: "It's a great, big, beautiful tomorroooowww..."

Kill me.

Another book-reading-walking incident: some lady handing out religious paraphernalia got close enough into my periphery to drag me away from my reading...so she could offer me something to read. Yeah, thanks. I wasn't really enjoying the book that I had my nose in. Nope.

There are sensible, informed feminist positions, and then there's getting bent out of shape over stupid things. And frankly, I think the latter undermines progress made by the former.

I don't disagree. Getting mad about this relic doesn't help. And it gets songs stuck in my brain that are terrible and now I'm pissed off. Which doesn't help neither.
