It is painful to even discuss now. Let's just say the men had a fabulous time and still recount happy memories from their glory days. Whenever ex-scenester women get together, we talk about the disgusting, soul-crushing levels of sexism and sexual assault.<br /><br />If we dare speak of this with the men, we get the verbal beat down immediately, and are reminded that now, just as 'back then', there is/was a good reason to ignore our voices- we have nothing worthwhile to say and should just be happy to serve our function- walking fuckholes.<br /><br />Yeah, some "pride" in gender equality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
