Your spellcheck anecdote is hilarious and scary. Society is one massive autocorrect enforcer, telling us that the past is prologue—a trap!— whether we like it or not. But we can override! And overcome! All we have to lose is lousy one-sided relationships/prostitution! Sign me up! Wait, I’m already signed up. Whew.
Maya, the spellcheck aside is no surprise and horrifying at the same time. I think the thing I have the hardest time with relative to all of patriarchy is that it remains still so often unquestioned. It's "normal." Well, world, normal can change.

I loved this, thank you.
I keep reading this. It’s awesome. I’m working on a new version of Proverbs 31 as a comic and this essay is also giving me more ideas.
Wow cool! Keep us posted on your work!
Will do!

"No surprise and horrifying at the same time" sums up everything these days. You're right...it all just seems so normal. But we can do better.
I married one of them too!
