(23,720 posts)One can call me what they will. I really don't care. I'm confident in my identity and my worth in the real world where there is so much more to fight against and advocate for as you've pointed out in one of your earlier posts.
I don't pretend to know what sort of hurt those who are so severely wounded by the use of certain words here- have suffered in their lives, but I do think the hurt must have been to the bone for them to live with such anger which seems to me to be all day every day.
So much energy wasted, when we all could be out there helping real women make real social and economic gains. Because it is then that I think we will gain real parity with men. In fact, I think if we weren't so often our own worst enemies and that if we could unite- the possibilities of what we could do as women would be infinite.
But as a woman, I refuse to be angry about being a woman and the lot we currently have in life.
