Weakness: My pet peeve

I’ve been in an on-again, off-again conversation with a friend regarding ‘weakness’, of vulnerability =ing weakness in terms of technology, and in terms of societal structuring/social justice. That conversation has helped clarify something for me: Though I’ve largely stopped doing it anyway, I am flat out through using the word weak to describe human beings.… Continue reading Weakness: My pet peeve

Both men and women participate in this tortured value system. Psychological patriarchy is a dance of contempt, a perverse form of connection that replaces true intimacy with complex,… Continue reading Untitled

Angry for them because of how you taught to me to push them to be big but force them to stay small. Angry for… Continue reading Revenge: A feminist manifesto
