Women talk I texted the birthday girl about what happened at the party with Tarek I'm probably being autistic and extra but I vouched for him I gave him access I understand they're grown ass women who can form their own opinions but I said "I promise" "He's a feminist and lovely, I promise" I just don't want him even remotely associated with me Retracted any and all good words The Palestinian girl from my old customer service job texted me thanking me for the gynecologist I recommended It's PCOS and not endometriosis I sent her Dr. M's number too Tia said all men are unsafe They've all raped or been silent or joked around with a guy who rapes Degrees of unsafe I feel better after telling the birthday girl I didn't tell her everything Just about crying and not being able to leave It was a farm in some fancy compound in the middle of nowhere Laaand, rich people and land Couldn't Uber out He made fun of me before we even went inside Didn't tell her that part Or that he was driving drunk That I was texting people to feel better while he gaslit and harangued me in the car He tried to quiz me on everything I brought up earlier Because he gets to decide if I'm smart It annoyed him when I said he could just shut up and fuck me They always underestimate me because I cry easily and I choose to be vulnerable They can't imagine someone deciding to be like that They assume it's naivety Then get whiplash when I choose to be different Patriarchy, capitalism and colonialism are all the same disease The people with their head in the sand are looking up now Wondering about the planes and helicopters |
