I want to hold them down forever.
I am watching people I’ve known. People my age. I am watching them develop these sexist views in the same way that this iamgravity guy has. Developing them as though they’re coming to natural conclusions. As though they’ve ‘learned’ things about women. Women are bitches. Women are sluts. There’s a right and a wrong way for women to behave. I know that women can be horrible, because I’ve had my heart broken. Blah blah blah.
Every day I see people, men and women, that hold these views as though their insights. But I’m watching these new people learn it. I’m watching it take hold over them. The bitterness and the ignorance and the hatred.
And I want to hold their heads in tubs of water.
I want to hold them down until they’re cleaned of the disgusting filth that pools in the corners of their minds like tumors in their brains.
I want to hold them down until they deserve to come back up and breathe our air.
Or until the bubbles stop.
