10) UM, ACTUALLY NO

All true, unfortunately, all true. It was Jelly of course. We turned each other onto a lot of stuff. She had been heavily into the Riot Grrl scene when she was a teen. I have her to thank for my great love and respect for Bikini Kill. She also made me realize how naive I was regarding certain things that a woman dealt with, how they dealt with those things and which ones were learned 'the hard way'. Another eye opener. The older I get the more humbling it is to see how naive I was. I just remember thinking of this picture of her which I got such an enormous kick out of, the joy in her eyes and smile, would never ever speak again in the same way. So very very sad. Recorded on my phone. And we segue way into...

lyrics

There was this great picture,  her at 15 years old a little Riot Grrl she had  just gotten her hair cut, big old triumphant smile.
I said 'Man I love this picture, all these strong women on your wall'. She said, 'Yeah, I thought I could do anything, later that night I got raped'.

Sometime later she told me of another incident with her girlfriend, same thing, then another one after that, and yet another one.
So I asked her innocently, gently, 'Any of your girlfriends that haven't been raped?'
She was quiet for awhile she said, 'Um, actually, no'.
