Our society is infatuated with the link between sex and violence. The media romanticizes it.
Violence is sexy and sexuality is violent.
Men and women are portrayed as sexual adversaries. Sheets of water blanket the asphalt and, occasionally, the car hydroplanes. Not a single car shares my journey down the 101, but I don't notice the solitude. I am too nervous about what the next few hours will bring. But that was over four months ago - I barely even remember now what led me to this point.
