There are people who think that you ought to completely avoid or ignore people who are trying to upset or ridicule you. I can understand that theory under some circumstances, but, as I said at least 6 months ago, there’s no reason for women or anyone else to continue to be the focus of the kind of behavior of which I’ve been the focus for harassment.
I shouldn’t be having to prove that I’m smart or right about anything for the attempted harassment to stop. As I’ve said, nobody should be the focus of that kind of behavior, no matter what, no matter who the person is. Say there’s such a person as the dumbest, meanest, most promiscuous and destructive woman in the world; she shouldn’t be the focus of that kind of behavior.
All of the words, all of the slurs; if I don’t talk about them, then what’s the point of my making the argument that nobody should be the focus of those kinds of slurs? The purpose of people who make those slurs is to intimidate, to shame inappropriately and to censor.
What have the slurs been?
--leak, flow, flood, gusher, everything that has to do with water, everything that has to do with fish, every kind of vulgar reference to vaginas, including cheese, wine, yogurt and more
What else?
--the BP oil spill, contamination, being “unfresh,” anything that could possibly be construed as being dirty or “unclean.”
--Jewish slurs, “mentally ill” slurs.
--bedbugs
Those are some of the slurs; I'm sure there are others.
It’s harassment and discrimination, and I am not under any obligation to prove anything about myself or about anyone else.
If you disagree with what someone has to say, the way to handle it is to address the disagreement and not to try to win your argument by saying, in essence, “But you’re just a woman, so no matter what you have to say, I win. I don’t even have to make a coherent argument back to what you’re saying, I can just call you vagina names all day and that will win it for me.”
That’s what’s been going on, and that’s what discrimination is all about.

I'm going to add more of the slurs here so that people who Google all the harassers will know what to look for.
--Seroquel (a psychiatric medication)
--cochlear implants (to imply that I have a hearing problem because I still don't understand how much what I have to say about the horrible things that people do doesn't matter to the people who are doing them)
The latest slur at least among the harassing celebrities is "Scream," because months and months ago, somebody wrote to someone in that industry and told whomever the contact was that I scream when I orgasm. It's not even a new slur; it's a slur they were using months ago and forgot about amidst their frenzy over the BP oil spill.
The harassing celebrities are all people who accuse me of being gossipy, of being a stalker and a harasser and of invading their privacy, while they call me sushi and oil spill and everything else that they say. It's been months that they accuse me of that.
If there are harassing celebrities or other people who think that as long as they want to do this it's fine and that there will be something that they can do to make it up to me, they're wrong. I'm not going to change my mind about it, and you're going to get to the point where I will never have anything to do with you in any way at all; you need to believe that that's true.
