It's A Creep's World: Hey, listen

By Lisa Brown and Violet Maze

It's A Creep's World 
A woman writes and offers to a creep an essay on creeps.

"I called you to say that I was attacked on my way home; that I was very lucky to escape; that I had bruises, scratches and abrasions; that I was bleeding, shaking and crying. I told you I lost my things and purse and that my clothes were torn. You sounded very worried and tried to be comforting. At first. It took less than five minutes of conversation for you to ask me, ever so casually, so innocently, the question every creep asks: 'What were you wearing?' That's what you wanted to know all along; that's the only piece of information you needed to get out of me, from the first second I told you I was attacked. Anything to prove it was my fault. It always is our fault."  

 

"Hey, listen" is an anthology of stories Violet and Lisa created over a period of several years. Each title is a fictionalized story, stylized as a letter, of people who were forced to confront powerful self-deceptions about the world and about their world. 

 

Dear reader, welcome to a world of psychology and emotions.

About It's A Creep's World

A woman writes and offers to a creep an essay on creeps.

––––––––

This is the story of a woman who was attacked twice in one day; once by a stranger, once by a loved one. The first time by violence, the second by disbelief. She writes to her partner, ex partner now, about that day she was assaulted on her way home. About how she managed to escape with injuries and bruises and in torn clothes. And about how, after getting home and while describing still in shock her horrifying experience to him, he asked what kind of clothes she was wearing. She writes about how disbelief is the most painful kind of violence. She writes about women and creeps; about a society created and run by creeps; about a society that produces, rewards and admires creeps. She writes an essay on creeps and on the creepy society we live in.

The Question Every Creep Asks

So, I called you to say that I was attacked on my way home; that I was very lucky to escape; that I had bruises, scratches and abrasions; that I was bleeding, shaking and crying.

It took less than five minutes of conversation for you to ask me, ever so casually, so innocently, the question every creep asks: What were you wearing? Only to add Not that it matters of course. No, of course it doesn't matter, that's why you didn't ask. Of course you couldn't care less about
