One of the cruelest “jokes” the patriarchy plays on us is telling us the women are the “too emotional” ones. I’ve really never seen a more fragile ego or childish response than I do from privileged men.

Bitterly I'm adding this because it's totally relevant. That guy went on a killing rampage in Atlanta, killing eight massage parlor employees, seven women and one man (all Asian), apparently told cops he'd "had a very bad day” and that he had been “at the end of his rope” and “fed up.” The cops adding that they thought he indicated he might have sexual issues "potentially sexual addiction," and "may have frequented some of these places in the past.”

A bad day? Really? Fed up? This guy was fed up after a bad day. I mean, is this the patriarchal king of the castle who you don't dare enrage, especially if you're a woman (or minority -- or both) meant to serve him, or what? I am sickened. How fed up are women? How long has the bad day been for women? Like, centuries long. Like two thousand years long.
