Rewording a Quote
Feb. 4th, 2026 05:56 amMen are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.
- Margaret Atwood
I'd like to reword this a bit, and let you think about it.
Women are afraid of physical violence.
Men are afraid of social violence.
I've reworded it this way so that the important thrust, the violence, doesn't get lost. The violence is real, even if it's not equal. One does not nullify the other.
