Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat.

When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.

It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

I mean, it’s just true.

“Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

That’s it. That’s it right there.

“Death seen as the ultimate abandonment: no matter how close we are to our loved ones, no matter how important we are in our communities, when we die we die alone” — reading about psychoanalytic criticism. things people like us have already figured out. many live the illusion of the life-complex, in which engagements within our communities, relationships to others, and traditions will eradicate the commonality of every specie’s existence: the alienating experience of dying. not in the negative connotation, of course, simply as a thing that is guaranteed. a statement. then i thought about how people kill and commit atrocities towards each other for the sake of capital. and then there is nothing left for the autonomous-self and its nuclear micro-cosmic structure to sustain itself as we await the suspended fate of death. institutions will replace autonomous collectivism with an individual desire to construct a narrative that will go in-line with the spoon-fed illusion of industrialism and progress. the empire’s authoritarianism will govern our bodies. teach us that debauchery and living against the grain of capitalist existence is transgressive, when there is nothing more abjective than the web of lies within orthodoxy, language itself, governments, and commodified social constructs. all of which continuously shatter and exploit our individual subjectivity and psychological experiences.

I employ these words, I admit, with a glance toward the operations of childbearing—but also with a glance toward those who, in a society from which I do not exclude myself, turn their eyes away when faced by the as yet unnamable, which is proclaiming itself and which can do so, as is necessary whenever a birth is in the offing, only under the species of the nonspecies, in the formless, mute, infant, and terrifying form of monstrosity

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.
