The Bigot

People who don't listen make me imagine violent situations in my head. They're usually men, and they usually consider themselves feminists. In fact, they're so knowledgeable about gender equality and what is politically correct that they assume I couldn't possibly keep up. Because I just don't know any better, it's not like I could understand FIRST-HAND what it feels like to be a woman. As they argue with me they lash out the same retort over and over again because they simply... can't ... hear me. Well, I'm really being a bigot. Aren't I? My hands subconsciously reach out to their necks, perhaps to give a subtle twist. Let me get on your level, I would whisper.
