"Part of me loves and respects
men so desperately,
and part of me thinks they are so
embarrassingly incompetent
at life and in love.
... You have to teach them the very basics of
emotional literacy.
You have to teach them
how to be there for you,
and part of me feels
tender toward them
and gentle,
and part of me
is so afraid of them,
afraid of any more violation."
