So in a Very practical context, I'm not Male. I'm not into Sports, not into Violence, not into Competition.

It's all a stand-in for War. It's all a massive re-branding to encourage a whole section of the population into thinking Violence is okay. Oh! But if you respond in Kind, they have no idea what to do.

If I want to hurt them emotionally in response, they get all defensive, and act like I'm acting out of line. I could tear them down with their own insecurities, rip them apart psychologically over the course of Weeks or Months.
I could snap at them and ask them how often they hug their kids, or how often someone else says the words "I love you' to them.

I could ask them if their Money and Power were worth being emotionally castrated, and how many years till the inevitable Divorce with their wife. I could laugh, and say that I have not just a wife of over a Decade, but multiple girlfriends and boyfriends who love me for who I am.

But nooooo. That's all off limits. That's shooting to Kill. They don't know how to deal with That kind of violence, so it's supposed to be off the table, because Yeah...

It Hurts when the core of yourself is called into question. It Hurts when someone else decides you're Less Human than They are because they have something You Don't. It fucking Hurts when your sexuality and lifestyle are made fun of. And no...

I won't try and cover it up by say I was only Kidding. Oooh, big sin right there. Yeah, I Meant those things, what are you gonna do about it besides punch my teeth out?
