SUNDAY, JULY 21, 2024

At least three years ago, my father’s God stopped being my God. His church stopped being my church.And yet,today,because i’m a coward, I let myself be initiated into that church. I let my father baptize me in all three names of that God who isn’t mine anymore.

My God has another name.

My favourite book in the whole wide world. Basically like a religious text for me.

Women are expected to be nice and sweet, to make other people feel comfortable. A woman who says ‘hey, I think there’s a problem here’ is being ‘negative.’ A woman who doesn’t smile while she’s being harassed is ‘humourless.’ A woman who prefers to stay focused on tasks is a ‘cold bitch.’ Significant gendering is involved here; women have an obligation to look and act a certain way and when they don’t, they need to be hassled until they do.
