Angry is a way for power holders To dismiss and deligitmize activism and protest

The pecking order comes from the barnyard

If I didn't channel my feelings into angry tears, I would probably have an assault record by now. Tears are "too emotional", too "girly", or "too unreasonable". Bullshit. Sometimes I cry so that I don't rip a dude's throat out.

I diminished and demeaned them without considering what that stripped from me in the process.

...I learned a valuable lesson about opportunities: even if an experience doesn't seem like it will benefit you, do your best to make sure it does.
