An intermittent reminder about Things

[azurelunatic]

Many "this is a tiny thing that has been annoying/worrying/otherwise Bothering me but I'm oversensitive and it's too small to disturb the People In Charge of Making Things Right" things can be prevented from growing into The Problem That Laid Waste to the Shinjuku District (Again) if addressed while still small.

Even very busy important people who do six impossible things before breakfast sometimes appreciate having a small and possible problem to address as a break from rebuilding the Shinjuku District after last time this happened.

For social problems, it's often "You, as a Lady, or person who gets harassed like a chick, aren't emotionally tough enough to work in a Man's Industry." Which, that can go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut; it can take a flying fuck at the mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.

Yeah, people who don't have to deal with half the shit are *totally more emotionally tough.* *eyeroll* untested strength is arbitrarily strong after all.

I was wandering around the youtubes looking for that clip from HIMYM where Ted and Marshall are in a gay bar and their attitude at being hit on progresses from magnanimous to snippily cheesed off in about 6 hits.

It is from "Single Stamina", and it is a nice, relatively brief illustration of how it's usually not the individual tiny thing, it's all of them.

(Of course, it isn't a perfect thing because dude could walk out of the gay bar and generally a person who looks like a lady can't just WALK OUT OF HER LIFE and also there's an element of homophobia, but.)
