An Apology/Invitation to Aspie Women - Come one, come all!

Post Reply New Topic

Hey ladies.

I recently posted a thread on misogyny where I divulged my hatred towards women (exasperated by my recent breakup), and related my shame and guilt to everyone for these feelings.

I've also been reading Stephen King's The Dark Tower, and finished the fourth volume, "Wizard and Glass," earlier today. And I think I came to not only love, but also to admire and look up to one of the protagonists in the book, Susan Delgado.

SPOILER ALERT! EVERYTHING IN ITALICS!




When she is consumed by the Reap Night bonfire approximately a hundred pages from the end of the book, I wept uncontrollably - here was someone I had truly grown fond of like no other fictional character, only to be given a horrifying death. The tears flowed the most during the procession to the bonfire - during the moment in which her former friends spat jeers at her - and as the torches thrown upon the bonfire by Rhea of the Coös and her own aunt Cordelia flew threw the air, I held by breath. When they finally descended and lit her on fire, I felt a final sensation of awe and horror creep through me, my blood running cold. And, quite naively in hindsight, I thought the worst was over...

...but I was sorely mistaken.

Later this morning, I read on and came upon Roland's accidental shooting of his mother. I had been weeping uncontrollably during Susan's death, but at Gabrielle's I shuddered, eyes wide with horror, as if coming upon some gruesome post-homicide scene. And that's when I realized how much women can and do mean to me. This story had really hit a soft spot in me.




And so, I'd like to reach out to you ladies on here, and get to know you gals a bit better. Talk to me about anything, I welcome you all with open arms!
