Politically, I Call It Rape

You Grow Up With Your Father Holding You Down And Covering Your Mouth So Another Man Can Make A Horrible Searing Pain Between Your Legs.

It's Particularly Hard To Take Being Stabbed In The Back Close To Home. There's Always A Feeling Of Betrayal When People Of Your Own Group Oppose You.

Men, Permitted To Put Words (and Other Things) In Women's Mouths, Create Scenes In Which Women Desperately Want To Be Bound, Battered, Tortured, Humiliated, And Killed.

In A Society In Which Equality Is A Fact, Not Merely A Word, Words Of Racial Or Sexual Assault And Humiliation Will Be Nonsense Syllables.
