thinking about how society thinks of violating women’s privacy or seeing them naked as shameful for the woman and how that’s absolutely absurd?
how you can’t justify this hypocrisy by any means? and yet, it’s so internalised.
how much internalised bigotry does it take to make a group at large feel uneasy about their own being? wonder who else feels that way? queer people? imagine a group of people so alienated from an identity they otherwise relate to.
why would it turn out like this? couldn’t have been this way from the start? certainly not a natural, set-in-stone phenomenon?
somewhere in the past, we really did abandon women. before or after the same fate was met by underrepresented parts of society?
would it really have been the same in a gender role reversed past? or maybe it has nothing to do with gender? maybe it’s about our tendency to stigmatize for control? it’s a pretty stupid thing anyway. we are such a flawed species.
what honor do you talk of? when it can only survive in the dark? protected by silence and fear? and yet so brittle, it’s shattered at the sight of reality?
what honor do you talk of? one that feeds on someone else’s shame?
shame is a mechanism of control, not a measure of morality. what you can’t justify logically, you enforce culturally.
