What creeps you out?

Well put Fangirl!

 

fascists.

 

Food with a face. I just don't want to be that acquainted with my dinner. I just can't do it. Centipedes, they truly don't belong in my world. I realize they perform a good service in ridding a place of other insects and spiders but they are just so freaky. Those moments when a patient takes a napkin or facial tissue from their pocket that they have saved to give me the honor of showing them whatever grossness they happened to cough up or otherwise find on their bodies. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that someone would just carry such disgusting things so casually. My ex..

 

Utterly unsurprising.
Some adolescents of 13 have had to grow up. I was one of them. Hell, I was a grown-up at 9. Comes with the territory when your mom is seriously mentally ill.

 

Okay, lay it on me. Do tell how a 13 year old girl with a mentally ill mother identifies as a feminist.

Most of the young girls we run into today identify with a particular band or favorite movie genre.

Half a decade away from voting and barely showing signs of sexual development, you're a feminist.

Basically:

 

What creeps me out: People who act like they know me when they do not have clue one.

TMI but I'd already had my period and was sporting C-cups up top by age 12.
I was/am an information junkie. Every day of my 13th year I read a national and local newspaper as well as 2 news magazines each week. We watched the Vietnam War evening news each night.

If it pleases you, more precisely I was a budding feminist. I read everything I could get my hands on as I was highly concerned about what my upcoming female adulthood would entail.
I was not a regular kid. Gloria Steinem, Billie Jean King, Shirley Chisholm, Betty Friedan--these women were my feminist heroes.

These things happened in my 13th year--and I was interested and aware of all of them.
Gloria Steinem and Letty Cottin Pogrebin co-founded Ms. magazine.
Roe v. Wade: The U.S. Supreme Court overturns state bans on abortion.
The Battle of the Sexes: Billie Jean King defeats Bobby Riggs in a televised tennis match, 6–4, 6–4, 6–3, at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, passed by Congresswoman Patsy Mink of Hawaii, states "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." This revolutionary legislation ended sex discrimination in high schools and colleges.
(At age 13, I was a freshman in high school. This was HUGE.)

The National Women's Political Caucus is founded by Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Myrlie Evers, several congresswomen, including Shirley St. Hill Chisholm and Bella Abzug, several heads of national organizations, and others who shared the vision of gender equality. Steinem delivers her Address to the Women of America.

Books I read in 1973: Sisterhood Is Powerful, An Anthology of Writings from the Women's Liberation Movement edited by Robin Morgan.
Germaine Greer publishes her book. The Female Eunuch.
The women's health book Our Bodies first published as a newsprint booklet for 35 cents. (1970).
My high school library is where I found 'Our Bodies, Ourselves' in 1973.

 

What a bunch of losers. They can't find their own intoxicated bitches so they roam around taking random pics of women they can go home and masturbate to later.

Yeah, that's creepy in my book.

 

Maggots, grubs, and large groups of Tea Partiers.

 

I'm sorry you had a shitty childhood. One of the most horrible things parents or society can do to a child is deprive them of being one.

You're outnumbered.

...

Another super-creepy thing is the fact that most 30-somethings live in the paper-to-.DOC transitional period where things like medical records and other important documents can actually be lost or destroyed because they aren't duplicated and stored elsewhere. Office fire burns up the filing cabinets. Basement flood destroys the archive shelves. We're getting close to a digital world and yet so much of even my generation is still tied up on dot matrix printouts. Friggin' dot matrix. So many of the records I'm "not allowed" to maintain myself are off yellowing in a dark corner. Crazy.

 

I just cleaned out the large trash bin I keep on my porch. Last week saw a couple of days in the upper 80's.

Maggots. OMG. There is nothing creepier than swarming maggots .

 

Wait, can something without limbs actually swarm?

 

When there's thousands of them. Swarming your trash bag.

Ugh.

 

Any medical procedure involving eyeballs.
Empty parking garages.

 

I've decided, in the past few days, that mosquitoes kind of creep me out. I like to keep my blood to myself, thankyouverymuch.

 

Bats. I had one fly in my open bedroom window the other night and it took him over an hour to find his way back out - not before bouncing off my ceiling fan about a dozen times, though. He was big too. 8 - 12" wingspan. I kept the BR door closed, peeking in every 15 mins to see if he was gone.

As much as I hate insects, I won't go out of my way to kill them. Except mosquitoes.

 

Ultra-religous people. I'm not talking your average church goer, I'm talking your real-life Flanderses.
