Heart, this is horrible. I’m sorry that this is happening to you. These people want nothing to do but to hurt you and your cause. I feel for you.

In fact, I want to feel you now. I’d like to tie you down, take a knife, and slit your throat. I’d penetrate you over and over in all orifices, and create some of my own to stick myself in.

I haven't run into this yet, but if I do it will be promptly published. I won't buckle under to this kind of terrorist tactic. This is an attempt to intimidate and silence, using the tactics of misogynist males from time immemorial--rape and murder. I will not stand still for it. (I will also not stand for any comments from and about so-called "nice guys." If you as a man are truly "nice," you won't try to divert the discussion.)

And people dare to say we are in a "post-feminist" world.

Words To Live By

Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in. ~Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

The road to hell is paved with adverbs. ~Stephen King

The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read. ~Mark Twain

I feel free and strong. If I were not a reader of books I could not feel this way. ~Walter Tevis

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one. ~George R.R. Martin
