I'm appalled with description of "Sex Criminal" as recreation. Just responded to "20 minutes of action" by father of Stanford rapist. Lots of women at Goodreads, what are you thinking?

Being a victim is supposed to set you free; it acquits you of any agency, any sense of responsibility to the person who did you harm. It's not your fault, they say. Leave him, they say. Nobody ever tells you what to do if leaving isn't an option.They just call you stupid. A dumb bitch.Sympathy is only meted out if you follow all ofsociety's rules for how a victim is supposed to behave.

Quote
Cursed luck! —said he, biting his lip as he shut the door, —for man to be master of one of the finest chains of reasoning in nature, —and have a wife at the same time with such a head-piece, that he cannot hang up a single inference within side of it, to save his soul from destruction.

So this is your story:You search for love not knowing you are made of it already. That you are worthy as you are. Girls like you spend so much time silencing themselves. Hiding pain behind cosmetics. Wrapping bellies inside corsets.Trying to be less intimidating because all the wrong ones are intimidated. The world tells you don’t dream then it asks why you are not dreaming enough.
