"The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves."

Scenes are sexual? Like, you dress a certain way to attract a certain kind of person? That’s all I can surmise

When they said Rich Men North of Richmond I initially thought they were talking about weapons contractors in Alexandria. They have so much more money than AOC.
