Magical encounter while free falling.

Can you imagine being that bird? You see a big falling dot off in the distance, so you go to investigate. And it’s a human. Just, like, hanging out, in the middle of the sky. Plumbing toward earth at terminal velocity.

“Huh, that’s weird” you think to yourself.

You land on them. They seem nonplussed by their predicament.

But you’re a busy bird, you’ve got places to be. So you just fly off. Good luck, crazy human. Hope you make it.

I liked Biden’s speech about trying to make men understand how women suffer when we are raped, and bringing up the movie Deliverance. Saying, if that happened to you (being tied up and raped by two men), what would you do? And men saying, well I would get my shotgun and come back –

I just wanted to cut them off right there and say, and that would be a justifiable use of violence right? Would you think it was unfair if you were then arrested for shooting your rapists? They’d say well of course it would be justified, no I shouldn’t have to go to jail for shooting them after what they did to me. AND THEN: That’s a great idea! Women should be able to enact violent calculated revenge on any man who sexually assaults her! Then of course we’d get the “Well now wait a minute, there’s no proof, women lie, anything could be called assault, that’s going too far…” because they know what that would mean. They know that could mean their friends. Themselves.

Men can learn but you gotta slowly spell it out for them. “Rape is bad children, how would you feel if it happened to you? Or another man? Yes the bad man should die, very good :)”

As long as you force them to empathize with each other then they can figure out the difference between right and wrong but are unable to apply that empathy to women. Doesn’t it suck that real justice depends on their underdeveloped sense of humanity?

it’s kinda sick how the message that it boils down to is “women are people too.” which is like,,,, the absolute bare minimum and the bar is on the ground but it’s still too difficult for them to comprehend
