@the_control_code: Colorado GOP gubernatorial nominee Victor Marx (hopefully soon to be former nominee 🙏🏻), on a 2021 podcast that resurfaced this week, described slamming his wife into their front door after she said she could handle herself. In his own telling, she bent over crying, and he told it as a joke. The Control Code tracks elevation as a marker for abuse: the man who appoints himself your protector has already given himself the authority to correct you. Here, the correction came through her body. The men who say we need their protection and the men we need protection from are a perfect circle. Follow @the_control_code to learn to hear coercion in the language.
