Elucidating Questions

Men just scare me

If you’re a man I’m probably afraid of you

That’s my one thing

I am (non boastingly so) incredibly unbiased

Usually when it comes to things people can’t control

But men

Men are unpredictable and volitile

I’ve watched a man go from completely calm to trying to murder me within the span of three minutes

I’ve had men threaten to murder me but not act on it

I try so hard not to judge but I’m so viscerally afraid

Slamming cupboard doors next to my head so loud my ears rang

Women have not wreaked the havoc on me that men have

Women are more subtle

A different psychological warfare

But I can choose to not take part in that

I can’t choose to not take part in a man exploding and murdering me

People are scary

Every interaction I’m filled with this slight dread

God I wish they weren’t so scary

Why can’t they all be as harmless as me?

As ineffectual and unimportant as me
