I betcha the reason for the counselor's advice you guys, is that MANY of us (hands up) have grown up in an era where women were not ... "appreciated". One [naturally] learns to have an 'unimportant' air about them, which translates into fair-game for the functioning psychopath.

I've gotten to the point where I can pretty much predict the answer to my question:  "What was your father like ...?" which I ask of EVERY woman I meet, who has impressed me in some way. Gosh, I wish we could all sit around the table together ... I'D be writing the book!!

LOVE, love, Love to Each and EVERY one of you. We deserve the World.

And it's coming... 💝 I had to respond to this because both my father and grandfather were men ahead of their generations. My grandfather was born in 1890 and my Dad in 1924. I was taught from a very little girl never to let anyone tell me because I was a girl I couldn't do what I wanted to do. My father said whatever I wanted to do I could do! I was taught to change tires on the car when I was aout 8, I learned to use building tools by the time I was 10. I was driving the tractor for my grandfather by the time I was 11 so they could put the hay in the wagon. I was taught to think for myself and stand up for myself. I've always said I was a feminist before it became a word because I didn't know anything different. I've always said I was blessed to have those two men in my life because of what they taught me. I remeber my mother telling my father I would never know how to do the things "women' were 'supposed' to know and him telling her I would learn how to do all the things I needed to know. And that is ust what I did!! ;o)
