I Believe In Irony. And If V-day

I Am Worried About This Word, This Notion - Security. I See This Word, Hear This Word, Feel This Word Everywhere. Security Check. Security Watch. Security Clearance. Why Has All This Focus On Security Made Me Feel So Much More Insecure? ... Why Are We Suddenly A Nation And A People Who Strive For Security Above All Else?

I Think The World Is Always Improving And Always Not Improving. I Think That Both Are Simultaneously Happening All The Time. I Don't Think It's One Motion Unfortunately - I Wish We Could Say It's Better, Better, Better - But I Think It's Better, Bad, Better, Bad - You Know?

I Think So Much Of My Early Life, Even Though I Grew Up White And Middle Class, I Was Completely Shattered By The Horrifically Violent Atmosphere I Grew Up In. I Am A Consequence Of Violence. That Opened A Door To Many Realities That I Would Not Have Experienced Had I Not Survived What I Did.

I Have Been A Depressed Person Most Of M Life. I Was Always In The Throes Of Self-hatred.

I Honestly Never Understood How Violence Against Women Became A Women's Issue. 95 Percent Of The Violence Men Are Doing To Women.
