For those who think I rant about the patriarchy and misogyny too much

31. Truthfully, I dont see how girls/women TRUST enough to date.

and for good reason. My sister was date raped. How the hell do you know a man from adam? We say and do what will get us ahead. Even nice guys. i dont envy youall. I felt some of what it is like to be a woman, when I came down with heart failure. For quite a while, I could not walk ten feet, without resting.

It hit me that I am vulnerable to any attack. I could not defend myself. It was a startling revelation. I DID NOT LIKE IT. It must do huge things to your psyche, to admit that outside of good awareness, you are vulnerable physically.

PS, the guy that date raped her was an acquaintance. I saw him at a party and said I needed to talk to him. He got the entire party riled, and I almost fought the whole party. they backed his raping ass. I said all I needed to do was to understand. That I did not intend to harm him. No matter, the whole party said if I didnt get out NOW, they would kill me.
