Hungerstone
by
To be a woman is a horror I can little comprehend. Blood has marked much of my still young life.
“It's nearly impossible for me to flourish in a consistent, hostile environment. Especially when my own growth is so intertwined with his. I am forced to face the unsetting reality that the people who are supposed to protect us are the same people we need protection from.
I slowly begin to scrub away at my femininity, which has proved to be unsustainable in this environment. "Man up, don't be a pussy" my dad shouts at me as I cry. I have to be tougher, I have to be more independent. I have to be resilient. I have to be more like him.
I hide my developing body under baggy shirts and pants and I never wear pink, pink is for pussies.”
