It froze last night. Frost and sunshine and breathing out steam, this morning on my way to school I tried to remember what all I have to do today. Last night a big white man told me that women are ruled by nature and men are autonomous. Really. Because women get periods and therapy. Perplexed and unwilling to generate statements or generalities, I spoke only of personal experience. He continued trying to generalize all men black all women white. I realized at some point I was telling him politely he was an asshole because I create value on a person to person basis not on who or what they claim to be. I am much more than a gathering reduction of hormones. I said this after he and a friend wrestled in the mud. He claimed, again, that men are self-governed and rational.
