I think astrology is really fucking stupid and it annoys the fuck out of me when people won't shut the fuck up about it, especially when they KNOW you don't believe in it. The whole relationship I've wanted to say that but I bit my fucking tongue, but I'm single now (and high) so fuck you.

There I fucking said it. No I don't want to debate about it, I'm venting, let me have this tonight.

There are plenty of women who find astrology bullshit, plenty of men who are obsessed with astrology, and plenty of things that are mostly favored by women but are absolutely vile like TERFism. However, I wouldn't call astrology as harmful as that obviously.

The point is that, as long as you toss aside the misogyny or bigotry, it's fine to criticize bullshit, and astrology is such.

I don't vibe with such logic honestly. I doubt that OP is screaming this at every woman he sees with crystals. Correct me if I'm wrong, @Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net.

No I am not.

Also this partner wasn't a woman FYI.

Honestly I wouldn't mind it if it was a hobby most people kept to themselves, but some people are REALLY insistent on talking about it, constantly, even when you've expressed a total disinterest in it or even a dislike of it. I think that would be rude with EVERY hobby. Like yeah I sometimes will go on small Star Trek rants to my non-Trekkie friends as a joke, but if I kept doing it so much it started annoying them and they asked me to stop, I'd stop.

I wouldn't mind hearing a trekkie rant if one's been on your mind

Yeah, I been been trying to get into trekie rants around here and there hasn't been much heat I fear.

Like all religion it is an opiate for the masses. Howver, opium is a medicine. Sick people need medicine. Being mad at the medicine and not the disease is not dialectic at all I think
