When men self flagellate to me I hear “I want to fit in the cage with you”

Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

This was a life changing paragraph
Every time I go on a first date with a white cis straight man, Quentin Tarantino seems to come up and I inevitably accidentally spend half an hour getting really indignant and pissed off talking about how much I hate the violent masc revenge fantasy genre and how Inglorious Bastards and Django are even worse the the run of the mill male savior film because they use the suffering of marginalized, raped, enslaved, and murdered peoples to prop up their own narcissistic bullshit. Naturally, I don’t go on many second dates.
