When people try to tell you that women are just as abusive as men, show them this excerpt.

This book is terrific.

Fourth rule of misogyny, that women’s words are violence against men and therefore men’s violence against women is justified.

I actually do believe there are quite a few abusive women; I just believe women tend to be emotionally abusive because 1) it’s less easily detectable and since it’s hard for men to come forward anyways, having no signs of physical abuse makes it harder, and 2) obviously women tend to be physically smaller than men, making it easier to abuse emotionally/financially rather than physically.

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing. Whisper of running streams, and winter lightning. The wild thyme unseen and the wild strawberry, The laughter in the garden, echoed ecstasy Not lost, but requiring, pointing to the agony Of death and rebirth. You say I am repeating Something I have said before. I shall say it again, Shall I say it again? In order to arrive there, To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. In order to arrive at what you do not know You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not You must go through the way in which you are not. And what you do not know is the only thing you know And what you own is what you do not own And where you are is where you are not. T.S. Eliot //
