deep venting time ig

i’ve been feeling so out of myself lately. at least this time i’m sorta trying to reach out to friends but i always get that annoying feeling that i’m burdening them with a weight they don’t need to carry. and at the same time i know that if i try to carry it all myself it will crush me sooner or later. anytime i try to express something to a friend it kind of feels like letting them see how i’ve been walking around with my insides ripped out and have just been trying to function normally. i don’t want to worry them so i don’t end up telling them everything that i want to tell them. it keeps me kind of separate from them in a way that i don’t like, i want to let them know how i feel, i wish i could let myself. but there’s this barrier in my brain that won’t let me show my emotions properly and physically doesn’t let me do it even when i want to try. i still remember the overwhelming pang of relief i felt the time a friend drunkenly said that i didn’t deserve the pain that i go through. it’s the only time i have ever felt like that, nothing has ever struck me so hard.

RIP Marjane Satrapi

[firstfullmoon]

“[...] she gave a single, long, full-throated howl, as if she wanted to rid herself at once of all the cries that pain had stored up in her.”

— Albert Camus, The First Man, trans. David Hapgood

“I jerked huffing in air to holler, but the scream got stuck, just added itself onto the large round scream that all my life had been assembling in my chest. It felt like a huge lump of cold clay. Someday I was gonna holler so long, glass would shatter and walls explode.”

— Mary Karr, Lit: A Memoir

“She’s going to scream, I thought. And it’ll be something real. Something we have to chain up in the backyard and feed with bloody steaks.”

— Tiffany McDaniel, Betty

— Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis

losing marjane satrapi and anthony head has hit me a lot harder than i thought it would, honestly

it might just be the fact of losing people like that in a world so increasingly full of horrible views, it feels like too much

they will be missed

Sometimes when I talk about how "all men are ___" and similar ideas are dangerous, it gets misconstrued as this desire to coddle men or deny misogyny, etc.

I am all for holding men accountable. I do think we should call out petty, controlling, abusive behavior, and I do think men should face consequences for these behaviors.

Because it is important that these men face consequences, it is important to teach people — men who have gotten away without so much as a slap on the wrist, women who enable these behaviors, girls who are told that it is okay to be treated this way, impressionable boys developing their sense of morals — that it is not okay to behave this way.

But the second we start insinuating that these traits are inherently masculine, innate male behaviors, we throw that progress away.

It's true that these behaviors are more common in men, but not for biological reasons. It's because these behaviors have been labeled as acceptable, these behaviors have been encouraged. Which is why it is crucial to say "no, this is not okay, this is unacceptable, and there are consequences to doing this."

When you reduce it biological explanations, you give these behaviors a pass. You're saying, whether you mean to or not, that men are behaving as men do, because they're men, and this is how they operate. Which means that these behaviors are acceptable by virtue of being uncontrollable. That's just how men are. They can't help themselves. It's up to everyone around them to protect themselves, because men are just giving in to their nature.

Which is dangerous reasoning! Yes, absolutely hold men accountable, but remember that they are making the decision to act this way, and that society supports this decision and encourages it. If you want change, you have to present change as an option.
