The Darjeeling Limited

2007 - Directed by Wes Anderson

“I love you too, but I'm gonna mace you in the face!”

[sinligh]

Women. Life. Freedom.

Feminine rage.

I’ve been born with rage i felt it flow through my veins, since i was old enough to understand what it means to be a girl in a world that doesn’t really prefer us.

Unless it can suffocate us under the blanket of patriarchy.

An undertone of sadness was born with me, and a lot of love.

Love that I rarely ever felt safe enough to breathe it in me

Love that isn’t touched by paranoia.

Now I bleed that same rage, from my eyes, and between my fingers.

I choke with it at night.

And collect it every morning every last drop of it is used as a different shade

In the bigger picture that clarifies the history of feminine rage.

I bleed it between my legs. A lot of shame with it,

Shame that I wasn’t supposed to touch

Until i’m old enough to rearrange my internal organs and carry it within me. An indefinite pregnancy that will most likely end up as a stillbirth.

I’m so mad at this world, the world that thinks women only know emotions, and yet it punishes us for feeling mistreated.

Emotional, hormonal, mad

I am mad, mad with rage Does women death mean this little ?

Who deemed our life insignificant?

And what numbed the world to the thousands and thousands of crimes against us ?

“Why” they ask

I wonder what reason would justify HER death?

“what was she wearing?” Another common question…

In all seriousness, SHE was wearing whatever a target would wear.

Her own skin, hair, and heart. born with it, no choice whatsoever

In a world that would like to build empires on top of our shoulders or corpses if we don’t cooperate, but wouldn’t listen to us when we say we can’t breathe

“She should’ve.” “She shouldn’t have.” Anything to blame HER own death on HER.

I’m so mad at this world.
