When the Witches Finally Talk Back
Picture a man in his forties standing in a Chicago queer bar, indignant because a woman declined his invitation to dance. His complaint? He's "NOT ALLOWED TO DANCE." When someone suggests he could, you know, just dance without grabbing strangers, he asks for backup "if something goes wrong." This absurd scene perfectly captures our current moment-where men mistake being asked to respect boundaries for being stripped of basic freedoms. They cry "witch hunt" whenever held accountable, co-opting language from an era when tens of thousands were tortured and burned alive. But here's the twist: what if the witches really are coming? Not with pitchforks and flames, but armed with something far more dangerous-truth. This cultural reckoning isn't about revenge; it's about finally naming what's been hidden in plain sight for generations.
