I suppose that we women are such cowards that we think a man will save us from fears, and we marry him.

Last year I was so distracted by the internalized misogyny that it didn’t strike me now fucking wild it is to say this to MINA. (and I suppose I just didn’t know her yet) The idea of Mina marrying in hopes of a man “saving her from her fears,” and her interest in shy quiet nerdboy Jonathan being just that??

I am picturing Mina just pausing in reading the letter to stare into the camera for a long minute before resuming.
