You had bad things happen to you because that is life
So, if it was a little girl who grows up in poverty because momma does not get equal pay, you are ok with that ? Sexual abuse of a twelve yr old girl ? That is life,and men do that kinda thing - you can't change it!
What does the future hold for me? Listen , little girl, you either grow up and marry a man who is an utter wimp or an absolute bastard - men can't be anything else, they are incapable of human decency.
Ok, so I was a boy, not a girl, but that last bit was what my mother told me over and over when I was growing up. And I never listened.
See, my mother used to go in for pat Boxall and all those ' radical feminists' that wrote columns in the papers - and although they went to college and stuff, i really hoped to hear at least one of them say " there is a small chance that a boy can grow up into a decent , law abiding citizen , no matter his background.
Well, they never did get round to saying that.
maybe we will have to wait for a fourth generation feminist to give that to the world. but the fact is, I didn't grow up into a useless drunk like my dad. yes, i have been homeless, jobless and been into therapy a few times, but that was PTSD, not alcoholism.
No- Ii don't accept the fct that i'm priveledged. i acknowledge it , yes, but i can't ~accept~ the idea that it's somehow ok, or ' just a fact of life ' that some kids die before they are 5, or get sexually abused , or get treated as second class citizens because they are black or female or whatever. those of us who know it exists should eradicate evil, not profit from its presence in society.
