It is a man's job to set the tone in a relationship. Whether people want to admit it or not, a woman feeds off his energy.. his consistency, his intentions, his presence. She takes what he gives and reflects it. Believe it or not
It's strange how society can spend more energy asking a woman what she was wearing, whether she was drinking, whether she knew him, or why she didn't leave sooner than asking why a man felt entitled to ignore her โno.โ We call it โa complicated situationโ when a woman fights back, but somehow expect her to provide a perfect explanation for why she didn't prevent the violence in the first place.

The woman beside me on the flight was panicking. She had lost her wedding ring. She checked her bag six times. Nothing. She was flying to surprise her husband. It was their twentieth anniversary. I helped her search. We checked the seat. The floor. Her jacket. Nothing. Then she started crying. โI can't believe I lost it.โ I asked what the ring looked like. She described it. Then she laughed. Her husband had bought it from a street vendor when they were twenty. It wasn't valuable.

I had a 7:40 AM flight. At 5:12 AM, I ordered an Uber. Driver accepted. Then canceled. Fine. I ordered another. Same driver. He accepted again. Then canceled again. By 5:25 AM, I was standing outside with my suitcase, watching the minutes disappear and thinking, Is this guy seriously messing with me? So I requested a third ride. Guess who accepted? Him. Again. This time, I got in before he had the chance to cancel. The second the doors locked, I snapped. โAre you kidding me?...
