Airports see more sincere kisses than wedding halls. The walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than the walls of churches.

I left you because I knew I could never change you. You would stand in the room so still sometimes, as if the greatest betrayal of yourself would be to reveal one more inch of your character.

She wouldn’t stay long; long enough for a cup of coffee; long enough to feel what it was like to reach the very border of infidelity. She would push her body up to the border, let it stand there for a moment as at the stake, and then, when the engineer tried to put his arms around her, she would say, as she said to the man with the rifle on Petrin Hill, ‘It wasn’t my choice.’
Whereupon the man would lower the barrel of his rifle and say in a gentle voice, ‘If it wasn’t your choice, I can’t do it. I haven’t the right.’
And she would turn her face to the bark of the tree and burst into tears.

And yet, somehow that’s a reflection on the daughter and not men
But Feminists make up sexism right?

(I don’t have a thing against Audrey Kitching, she was just merely and example).
But this fucking disgusts me right here. It makes me want to say, fuck this country and its racism and double standards.
I LITERALLY FUCKING CAN NOT
