hey alice,
just want you to know that it’s way fuckin cool to hear your
words aloud about letting women have their turn.
yer poem makes me feel SEEN..
yer poem makes me feel Acknowledged.
i talked about it with tony and
it got those good tears coming,
the kind i get when i feel something so hugely and deeply t
hat it cannot stay inside me so it leaks out my eyes.
it is a strange mixture of happiness and the deepest sorrow
, for myself, for every girl who grows up shrinking back and saying ‘please.’
all the best people i know are women
all the hardest workers i know are women
all the most attractive people i know are women
all the emotional labor in all the world is carried by women
yer poem makes me feel seen
it makes me feel good that
it could be a bloodless coup:
that those men could offer the keys to the kingdom
gracefully, gratefully –
realize they need some of what we got.
this is what i want;
this makes me feel seen.
men, you should listen to dan savage
he gives love advice on the internet and he is not afraid of
the sexuality of women and i remember this one call, this dude who wanted to
make intercourse more pleasurable for his girlfriend:
every time he penetrates her, it’s painful and no one knows
why but she struggles through it for him but it’s not sexy for anyone-
dude wants sex to be pleasurable for her, too, so he asks dan
for help and dan says
stop trying to shove your dick
inside her.
don’t know where all that goes
but i know it’s connected
and feeling very grateful
to feel invincible via ms alice walker.
