a man once told her to smile
that he had gotten his wish
was of little comfort to
his surviving relatives
You don’t have to be a woman to have men tell you to smile, but it certainly happens to women far more often than it happens to men. The men telling me to smile do so because they see long hair and automatically think “woman”.
I’ve thus fair refrained from telling such men that I’ll smile at their funerals; this is America, after all, and there’s no telling which is these assholes is carrying a concealed weapon.
But that never stops me from thinking it or hoping that such men suffer a public explosive rectal prolapse.
