When They Kept You Out

All The Women I Know Feel A Little Like Outlaws.

My Feelings About Men Are The Result Of My Experience. I Have Little Sympathy For Them. Like A Jew Just Released From Dachau, I Watch The Handsome Young Nazi Soldier Fall Writhing To The Ground With A Bullet In His Stomach And I Look Briefly And Walk On. I Don’t Even Need To Shrug. I Simply Don’t Care. What He Was, As A Person, I Mean, What His Shames And Yearnings Were, Simply Don’t Matter.

When A Baby First Looks At You...when It Laughs That Deep, Unselfconscious Gurgle; Or When It Cries And You Pick It Up And It Clings Sobbing To You...then You Are-happy Is Not The Precise Word-filled.

All Men Are Rapists And That's All They Are

Women Are Afraid In A World In Which Almost Half The Population Bears The Guise Of The Predator, In Which No Factor - Age, Dress, Or Color - Distinguishes A Man Who Will Harm A Woman From One Who Will Not.
