A new "disappointed in my gender" rant.

I am so tired of hearing how strong I am "for a girl" and how fit I am "for a girl" and on and on. You can sure lift a lot of weight for a girl. Seriously, why not just say I can lift a lot of weight for my body weight or my size? The more I am getting these moronic compliments, the madder I get. Then I realized I am the one and only female signed up for the crossfit instructor cert on our department and the only one currently attending the crossfit workouts. This distresses me a little. Seriously, if we want to break the idea that we are weak helpless females and need a big strong man to open the fucking pickle jar for us, we need to unite in the fact that we are ALL strong and ALL fit in our own way! We need to forget about what everyone else thinks and get to the gym or whatever makes us tick. I hear about how great it is that I am the first girl ever on our 2000 sworn officer department to make it to the SWAT school (insert the oooh isnt that great here) and I can only now think about the fact that it shouldnt be that way. I know many super cool strong chicks on my department who would rock it out and do even better than I did and better than some of the guys in the school too. I am the only female instructor on our department to be a certified defensive tactics instructor. Again, none of the girls want to fight or get sweaty and learn this? I cant believe it. I fail to believe I am that different, why are these ladies not coming forward???? I am disappointed. I am still girly and can kick your butt too. Dont all girls want that or am I a freak of nature? Sigh.

Come on girls, show the world we are strong and proud!!!!
