I've been thinking about a line in an Atwood short story: "Everything you wanted, I wanted too" and how giving something up because you are aware that you can't have it is reasonable but doesn't quite remove the resentment you might feel when somebody else gets it.
Which is not to say that I understand something that you deleted; but I might.
I nearly got into a facebook argument with some person of Claw's that I don't even know, because I am PISSED and more importantly FRIGHTENED about what seems to me a new and more complicated (but no less certain wave) of misogyny in the States. TF? I recognize I've got some pre-planted anger, so much that I could blow up at any old thing, including random people on the internet, but: walk into a room and find me 10 women who went to aerobics class last week without a shiver; or who aren't scared to walk to their cars at night; or even try to find me 10 women who haven't been raped. As you say: It sucks to be right.
