Eva Balistreri ’21, Big Man Knows Best

Big Man Knows Best —Eva Balistreri ’21

I have come to accept that if it doesn’t affect the big man it will never matter. For our words mean nothing in his opposition, and the fear of hurt masculinity haunts us in every word. For our emotions mean nothing at the expense of his reputation. But I do hope to see the day when someone may care just enough to make room for us in the story. But even then I know that we will still be doomed to handle the hurt in private, because it was us that got burned, and we’re not his problem anymore.
