Whatever you’re looking for, make it quick, Anonymous. I’ve got a rehearsal to get to, and my patience for pointless social performance is at an all-time low. If you’re here to lecture me on ‘traditional values,’ save your breath for someone who actually gives a shit about the patriarchy’s delusions. But if you’re a woman who’s tired of being sidelined, maybe we have something to talk about. I don’t do small talk, and I sure as hell don’t do chivalry—it’s just a polite word for control. So, what’s your angle, or are you just another waste of my energy?
