Your lovely open-hearted response makes the effort in writing this, worthwhile. Thank you Kelley.

We are dealing with centuries of patriarchy stalking the most of the planet in which our bravest and best were often killed off, and the witnesses and survivors, terrified into silence and submission.

I highly recommend you read Mary Daly a theologian and philosopher with two degrees, who was harassed for decades. Her book 'Gyn/ecology' is pure genius. Her writings will support your quest.

Pass it on, sis!
