1. The reason above all else that I cannot stand women.

May 2015

Religion has done nothing for women in my life, and has inspired a whole lot of shame, sexual self-repression, fear, guilt, and worse. It is horrible, watching people go through the shit the churches put them through. And it's so ingrained, it is near impossible to talk about. And therapy is useless at times, unless it is willing to engage in the religious oppression--and sadly, it rarely is.

You know, there are very few things in life I dislike more than people and institutions that oppress women. Fuck 'em all.
