Amen to that. Just love them. Isn't it shocking when we realize how deeply patriarchal attitudes, ideas, and behaviors are woven into our world as "natural" and "normal." It's one of those things, at least for me, that having seen unmistakable evidence of it, I cannot unsee it, and now, I see it in everything. At 66, my own long-standing feminism is undergoing renaissance, and stories like this one, Maya, help it keep going. Thank you.
