This is not a joke: congratulations you won.

I have been fainting since I was nine. I was told only men show effects. I get called unmanly for fainting. Men staying around long after implication win a badge. For not being able to withstand violence, taking it lying down, vulnerable to attackers, I’m kidded. Others only imply. No sympathy, no shouts. When I’m on the floor, huddled below a sympathy conference, there are absences.
