Today I was called, no less than three times, a 'Raging Lesbian'.

[MiniMandaRuth]

And the girl who said it, meant it. Because a friend of mine and I were talking and I said 'My friend's sister is a "Raging Lesbian" (Quoting her), and I still think she's cool"

And this other girl jumps in and starts talking down to me, and calling me hateful things.

So finally the girl asks another girl at another table if she thinks I'm a lesbian. The second girl looks at me and asks if I have a boyfriend, and I say:

"I don't need someone else to justify my sexuality. If you people are so insecure that you need a boyfriend to say 'I'm not gay!' then you are small minded morons."

And then she gets on her high horse and says 'I think you are. You're really defensive about it.'

So I lost my temper, told her to fuck off, and went back to work. My friend looked up and said 'I wouldn't say that. She will kick your ass.'

And so we aced the assignment because we were the only two working. The girl and her little friends tried to get us to help them, but we told them to piss off. They failed. Sometimes silent revenge is the best revenge.

[LostinVA]

23. Oy vay

[trof]

2. edgy

[MiniMandaRuth]

The logic center of my brain is failing.

3. My sister taught me a lesson about high school

Unfortunately she's younger than me and did it after I graduated, but here goes: Sometimes you have to make an example out of the worst offender to get the rest to leave you alone. Her problem was male classmates making inappropriate comments. She did all the right things in terms of asking them to stop, telling them to stop, reporting it, etc. Finally she had enough and broke a couple bones in a guy's face. The rest of her high school experience was remarkably problem free.

I'm not saying that you should do that and I hope you never get to that point. I'm just telling you that if your only remaining choices are harassment and standing up for yourself, don't choose four years of harassment, it's not any good for you and it's worse for your harasser to get away with that kind of behavior.

[speedoo]

4. LeftyMom, that is probably the best advice I've seen here. About anything

So I hope MMR takes it to heart.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. Yep. I used to get hassled a lot in middle school.

One day, a few girls tried to jump me. Well, I might be small, but I'm a crazy ass little motherfucker, so I ripped out the earring on the first one.

They. Never. Bothered. Me. Again.

I didn't get in trouble either, as no one reported it. We ended up friends by the time I was a junior in HS.

[TrogL]

6. I was getting hassled in Junior High

Until I started kicking people in the nuts.

[speedoo]

9. Yeah, reminds me of the time I broke this guy's nose.

He was hassling me, as he often did, in front of "the guys"... showing me up.

I finally had enough, put my fists up and said "OK let's go, asshole." He never landed a punch but I caught him flush on the nose with a right cross and there was blood everywhere. "The guys" were astonished and no one ever hassled me again.

Oh and he was bigger than me too, by quite a bit.

[peacebird]

42. i got the bejeebers beat out of me all thru 7th grade, come 8th grade

we moved from elementary school to high school and i was looking for a fresh start. (Hoping for a little anonymity in the masses...)

Fred came up and threw me into a locker - this is the same guy who flipped my desk over with me in it the previous year and unzipped my dress to prove that I didn't wear a bra (triple A, really didn't need one)

This was the year my beloved daddy was off in Vietnam. It was stressful enough without these cretins terrorizing me.

Anyhow - what Fred didn't know was my brother taught me a few moves over the summer. So little 85 pound 5 ft tall me spun jabbed an elbow in his throat, then slammed my knee in his privates and still spinning clocked him as he was doubling over! Fred flipped like a turtle on his backside in the middle of the hallway!

I had NO problems the rest of my high school days - oh, and the cheerleader harpies who had made my little tomboy bookworm life hell? They all came up apologizing. Guess they were afraid I would take them down too.

On the down side - I allowed the fear and anger about it all make me sarcastic and bitter as a way not to get hurt. Don't let that happen Mini..... Keep sweet and smart.

[LostinVA]

20. I was hassled by bullies in Junior high

Until my Mom went to school and talk to the principal who wouldn't do anything about it. Mom's 5', weighs about 100 lbs., is very ladylike and normal-seeming.... but she is one crazy ass little Irish motherfucker.

They punks never bothered me again.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. "Irish" and "crazy ass little motherfucker" often seem to go together.

[amitten]

33. Ahh...the Black Irish.

We're a feisty bunch, aren't we?

}(

[Chan790]

34. It's the fiery Spaniard blood which flows through your veins

mixed with the fiery Irish temperament.

I use to date a girl who was black Irish, from Ireland. We broke up because I got sick of dodging pints every time we had a disagreement and being afraid to come home for fear that either I was gonig to die or that I was going to oversleep work in the morning because she kept me up all night.

[amitten]

35. Try Black Irish + German.

Please...don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

[Chan790]

39. Did that too...

she, on the other hand, broke my heart. I was more into her than she, me. c'est la vie.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. Yes, we are.

I actually have a tank top with a drawing of a boxer on it and a caption that says, "Don't Make Me Get My Irish Up."

[sfwriter]

18. I once started singing "Love is the Seventh Wave" at a bully...

My girlfriend and I were at my locker, say 1985, and this bully who had menaced me for years came up and started in to threats and taunts. I looked at my girlfriend, realized I was done with this nonsense, I'd outgrown it. Geek or not, he had no power anymore.

I started singing "Love is the Seventh Wave" and put my arm around the bully. He was gone and FAST. Never bugged me again.

[ThomCat]

41. Sweet!

:patriot:

[crim son]

7. In my daughter's school in the eighth and ninth grades it was

WAY cool to be a lesbian and therefore at least 50% of her classmates claimed to love only women. It's still cool, but only if you actually are a lesbian.

[idgiehkt]

8. rofl, what is a 'raging' lesbian

I've never been one...I don't even think I've ever seen one. :shrug:

[NMMNG]

16. I suppose it's the female equivalent to "Flaming Fag"

Just more nonsense for those of small minds to have their fun. :eyes:

[Random_Australian]

25. Nah, that does not work.

Flaming is supposed to be a polite word for fuck, and at least here the term "Flaming homosexual" is associated with mocking snobs. (mocking intolerant snobs who actually say things like that anyway).

[mduffy31]

10. I have had the problem..

...with people thinking I am gay because I am a nurse. As my sig line says I had some asshole hassling me because supposedly I am gay because I am a nurse. It doesn't bother me that much because I make more money in one day than some of those jackasses make in one week.

[RevCheesehead]

11. Hey, MiniMandaRuth:

:yourock:

Excellent response, and you're right - Karma gets 'em in the end. :)

[WolverineDG]

36. I second that

Karma bites.

;)

[hfojvt]

12. let's go for four

you raging lesbian you :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Next time one of 'em starts that

walk over to her, grab her shoulders and kiss her.

Kiss the hell out of her.

Then wipe your lips with the back of your hand and say, "Now you're one, too."

:rofl:

[hsher]

15. ***Excellent***

Part of me is wondering if these evil girls might not harbor a certain closeted sexual fascination for our heroine.

[LostinVA]

21. That's what methinks is possible, too

[sakabatou]

14. Nothing says "fuck off" like a 68" nodachi

[Random_Australian]

26. How about this?

[Omphaloskepsis]

17. Talk to your mom.

Old people are good at this shit. You think we are stupid. We have been through the same shit. We know how to get through it. Try to comeback with something like,"I won't be hiding my baby under my cheer leading outfit." slut--bag

[LostinVA]

22. HAHAHHAHA -- great comeback for MMR!

[LostinVA]

19. That's a compliment, kiddo -- and I have a good comeback:

"Jealous much?" After she sputters about how's she not jealous: "Whatever. If you weren't jealous, you wouldn't get so upset about it." Make sure you put "upset" in little finger quotes. There's always using Shakespeare on her, too: "Methinks the lady doth protest too much!"

Have fun with the creep. I have no idea which team you bat for, but the girl you wrote about sounds like a little moran -- have fun with her homophobe moranness. I have for years (well, not her of course, but other people).

[Random_Australian]

24. "The Raging Lesbians" would be a great name for a rock band.

:D

What? All the other DU'ers gave you advice on the problem so now is the part where I propose monumentally silly and incredibly childish takes on the matter. :silly:

How about changing your DU name to "MiniMandaRagingLesbian"

Or perhaps start a "raging lesbian" group at school, and hand out flyers with that person's face on it.

(Section deleted. I am waaaaaay too good at messing with heads)

Or you could name a food, for example a sundae a "raging lesbian", so that on hot days you could say "I am soooooo hot. I feel like having a raging lesbian".

:)

[RetroLounge]

27. "I am soooooo hot. I feel like having a raging lesbian".

:rofl:

[hsher]

40. (Drink recipe request)

Drink recipe? Please? :beer:

[undeterred]

29. last week Sensenbrenner used the term "flaming atheist"

You're not a raging lesbian AND a flaming atheist are you? }(

[Chan790]

30. Doesn't flaming atheism require belief in Hell?

Not very atheistic of you, Senator Stinky.

[undeterred]

31. the flames are imposed for not believing in hell

if I misunderstood him correctly...

[Taverner]

32. So would Jack Nicholson be a Raging Thespian?

I'm sorry - I couldn't resist.

[WolverineDG]

37. he doesn't act like one

:hide:
