Who’d a guessed?

Personally? I don’t give a rat’s fourth-point-of-contact about myself. But does that require me to be silent? Or ‘silenced’?

You got something to contribute? Jump in. I don’t mind. Indeed, I welcome it.

However, allow me to point out that from Alkon’s perspective—and likely Solnit’s—it IS ‘all about’ me. Or, rather men like me; who know the importance of (1) expressing themselves and (2) ‘maintenance of the objective’.

So, please explain why did she ‘kill’ me?

I eagerly await your explanation.
