Compulsus

Wally lives a decent, steady, unremarkable life. She works from home, has daily phone calls with her sister, writes poetry, dates women. Yet even as a woman who doesn't date men, there is something roiling beneath, as it has roiled for generations. After a lifetime of daily, constant, incremental misogyny, Wally makes a choice. When she has a chance run-in with a known abuser, she attacks him physically. Despite her sloppiness and poor planning, she gets away with it. So she does it again.
