On everyday sadism

[niektete]

Have you ever felt like you're being verbally tied up and then emotionally raped? Or rather, let me put it this way: have you ever tried explaining something to someone, something which meant so much to you it practically made you cry? You stand there, talking agitatedly, trying so hard to make the other person see why you're so worked up over this

I don't think unkindness is something limited to just men. I think this particular kind of cruelty and all other types can be traced back to the root of pretty much every problem: everyone, everywhere, thinks they're more important than anything else.

But if your friends are being unnecessarily mean and nasty towards you, you have an absolute right and responsibility to tell them it stops right now. Did you say, "Hey asshole, I was trying to have a serious discussion here? Why don't you shut the fuck up if you've got nothing better to say."

Think of it as doing these so-called men a favor; they need to learn not to speak to anybody that way, especially ladies who are upset and need hugs.
