I wasn't reticent in ploughing in because it doesn't matter where I go online, I've been here for over 10 years using the same usernames, being in the same fandoms, doing the same paintings and what-not. I've been working at being well known, so my name is around anyway. I've been tracked down before through LJ so I figure, I'm saving the scary douche-bags five minutes by just posting with my real name on FB.

I won't lie - I've been triggered this morning. Mainly feelings of utter helplessness and futility. Sometimes I can't help believe that no matter what one does, no matter how brilliant one is at one's chosen profession, no matter what clever thing one says, no matter who you inspire or who you interact with, it won't matter in the end, because you're a woman. And a woman just doesn't matter in this world.

Of course I'd never believe a word of that. Ever.

I think I need to watch Lady Gaga's new clip a few times to cheer myself up.
