It’s all about power.

It’s all about power and control isn’t it? It’s all about towing the line and fitting in the box, conforming and being part of the gang, following the rules. It’s screaming into the wind and being ignored as the wind snatches your scream from you and denies you even that release. It’s doing what you can but it’s never enough. It’s being scared and confused, it’s staring into the vast ocean and knowing damned well the sharks are out there waiting. It’s being told "You can’t swim here."
It’s being told over and over again that the water is safe really, the patriarchal shark doesn’t bite, they don’t consume you, but only if you follow the rules, only if you play on this part of the beach..Know your place.
Then someone comes and reassures you that your fears are real, the sharks are the biting sort and the water isn’t safe after all, but they whisper, we can teach you to see them but only if you follow these rules, fit into a different box. Come onto the grass instead, come away from the ocean…..
