“Sexual assault is not a show—it’s a culture.” Nah, it’s actually RELIGION! (Male rage as an offshoot of “protection” is merely one guy’s sick excuse.) Rage comes simply from “might makes right,” just as the “strong-arm man with the best death tech” is world leader. It comes from men having created a god in their own image in profound self-adoration. All three world religions proselytize it thus; the nearer a man aligns himself with his god, the more abusive he will be toward women. Lookin’ at YOU, Mike “Moses” Johnson—
I am reading this at the same time reading fourth wing - a fantasy/romance recommended by friends (don't judge!). Putting these in conversation is fascinating. And really so many romance novel tropes about power, protection, toxicity, love.... I'm so terrible at making it to article club. But hopefully this time!
