"Son, your life is worthless" said no sane mommy or daddy, ever. IDK, maybe I come from an uncharacteristically patriarchal family? The first man is the indispensable man, for better and for worse. In three generations there are four males, four females. Two of us own everything my family does. Just me and a guy in his eighties. Everything he still owns is willed to me. He had to wait for grandchildren. He turned one of his daughters into an effective son out of frustration and still didn;t plan to leave her anything.
Worthless?
So why is it such a great source of humor when men are raped in prison, but a crime against humanity when women are raped in prison?
Why is it no big deal when a man gets raped in prison, and then a crime against humanity when that same person gets raped after a sex change?
Why is my proudest memory from childhood the way that my mother doted over me and was so proud of me when I put myself between danger and my older sister? My father just nodded at me curtly. But my mother was so freaking proud. And don't get me wrong; I really loved her for that. It's hard to be a big, strong, brave man if your mother isn't proud of you.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
