Alright, alright, don't go all women's studies on me.

[ Ren is fairly progressive for a Fianna. But there are still some very traditional views she'll never shake. Primarily; how a man is supposed to act. ]

I am incredibly tolerant for my tribe, Ren, but these things need to be said.

Do they? Do they really? 'Cos neither of us are men, in case you didn't notice, Jordana. And I'm allowed to have an opinion on how men should act.

Just 'cos you say something doesn't make it right for everyone.

There is a double standard that exists in what's expected of a man and what's expected of a woman, in both the Nation and human society. If there wasn't, my fucking tribe wouldn't exist. I wouldn't have been hounded constantly about when I was going to do my duty and have a child. Gender standards should be equal.

[She mad.]

Telling someone to be a man or man up just perpetrates the toxic masculinity that had been rampant throughout history. Where men have to suck it up and suppress their feelings, because they've been taught expressing them makes them weak, makes them pussies, which makes them feel inferior if a woman is better than them at something a man is supposed to do. So many of them lash out to establish dominance and reclaim their 'man card' or something else just as shitty.

Not every man is like this, but far more are than are not. And I pray to Gaia that this has changed in the ten years I've been missing and that's why you're giving me shit about expressing what I believe. If I'm wrong, I'm take it on the chin. All I was did was ask you not further a misogynistic agenda, because women need to hold other women accountable for this shit too. So many women aren't even aware of it because of how they were raised.

If only every man was as great as your daddy. The world would be a better place.

Now I'm going to go see if my damn den has been cleared of the Void. If it is, the room is yours for the rest of the month. I need to get away from people and track down my fucking rapist.

I'm not mad at you. I'm just angry.

From:

[ Jordana might not be mad at her.

But Ren is.]

I'm sorry what has happened to you happened to you. You know that.

And because I can tell you're hurtin' I'm going to make this easy on you and not take you to task properly for it.

Never again mention Finn Swift-Claw in that way. He was a great man who gave everything to the Nation and he deserves the respect of not being used to score cheap shots. I wouldn't disrespect your sister to get a point over. Don't do it to my family.

From:

wyldfire

[Well, he was alive when last Jordana was at the sept. She probably wouldn't have gone there in her anger if she'd known. Probably. Maybe.]

I wasn't aware he had given his life to Gaia. I apologize. [Because when she is wrong, she will take it on the chin.] And disrespect Lupe all you want; I should've killed her when she slit my throat with silver.

One of these days, you're going to realize how fucking privileged you've been in your life. But not today.

[Fury Out.]
