You have covered so many layers of thought and so thoroughly. I am grateful that you are speaking for what could be a stronger and more freeing and empowering avenue for all of us.
You have taken a lightning rod, highly politicized and intentionally clouded topic and laid it out clearly.
I know there are categories of people that will never change their toxic attitudes. I have come out of a long line of dysfunction. The women that I have been surrounded by, carry and support the patriarchal and misogynistic code and are the enforcers of it.
It is not ever easy to swim against the tide, but I am encouraged seeing that many are catching the wave of empowering ourselves and encouraging others to, as well.
