Realpolitik and Rape Survival

You might say to me, “you don’t have to vote for him.” That’s true. But one of them will be president and I want to at least pretend I have some power over which one that is. I just cannot give all my agency up in this situation. It goes against my nature. Being ruled by men who mistreat women is a constant, fixed part of our story. It’s familiar. I won’t regret doing my best to cope when faced with an impossible choice.
