Listen for the Lie

by Amy Tintera

I’ve heard that Lucy has a temper. Did you ever see that? Nina: I mean … I don’t know. Would people say she had a temper if she was a man? They’d say she stood up for herself when it was needed. So that’s what I’m going with. Lucy wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself.

“Lucy, that is not a good idea.”

And why are you so worried huh?

People don’t believe women who fight back. When a man lashes out, people say he’s lost control of his temper or made a terrible mistake. When a woman does it, she’s a psychopath.

I’m not even sure that anyone besides me knows how much they truly despised each other.
