I worked at a job site prone to flooding so it was mandated to speed evacuations. I liked it and kept the habit.
Then some misogynist asshat told me it’s a masculine thing to do and I should be careful to come across more ladylike. So added on a layer of spite and anti-bigot defenses to why I keep doing it.
That’s the softest. Just the weakest. Disreputably fragile. The secondhand shame is radioactive, I need iodine. I can’t even cringe because my face went numb.
