I catch a lot of hell for being a centrist and even I am terrified by the antifeminism we see today

25. I understand completely what you are saying and I am grateful you are saying it.

Things are becoming so extreme in regards to women, I do feel as if I'm in an episode of The Twilight Zone these days.

When I am alone and my mind is unoccupied I allow myself to think about where all this might be leading, where the end point might be. I think of the bands of men raping women in Africa, not just raping but injuring women so badly they need major surgical repair and still will never be able to defecate or urinate without a bag. Raping not just grown women but toddlers and women in their 70's and older. I think of the women banding together in small villages to protect themselves from the men.

There is no reason to think those things, or worse, won't happen here. There is plenty of reason for me to be as afraid as I am.

I will be accused of hyperbole, but I don't care. I will speak my mind. I feel the way I imagine a Jewish person would have felt in the years leading up to WWII in Germany. Watching the escalating hate and feeling that fear and hoping one might escape, might be safe, maybe things will turn around...
