The latest (horrifying) trend
in warning about possible societal collapse
is telling people
there will be physical and sexual
violence
against the women
in their lives
if it happens.
I block every climate activist
or scientist
who uses this ‘example.’
Why?
Because I assume
that’s their secret fantasy.
Unfortunately,
it IS too many men’s
secret fantasy.
I put that person
in the group of people
who are threats.
They become
one of the people
who might hurt me
if they get
an opportunity
to do so.
I don’t support them.
I don’t want to be
in the same room
as they are in.
I warn other women
away from them.
Even if they aren’t
fantasizing
about sexual violence
against women,
they are certainly
NOT listening to
any of the women
in their lives.
Any woman
would have told them
expressing these thoughts
out loud
was a BAD idea.
Worst case,
they will someday
engage in violence
against women.
Best case,
they don’t listen
to women.
Either case
means I stay far away
from them.
Don’t use violence against women
for shock value.
