Watching movies and reading books of days before the feminism wave of the 60s makes me long for those days. Looking at my parent’s friend, who is a loud liberal feminist, makes me realize how mislead she was. And still is. She never had kids. She got married out of a tax convenience. She was raised in a large Catholic family, so her extreme leftist views have always confused me. I wonder how many days of her life have been spent questioning her choices. She was every kid’s aunt. She was a Girl Scout Troop leader. She took me camping. She taught me how to bake chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies.
I digress. Your writing helps me reflect on my life and choices. I wonder at things I hear and things I knew, but with a new light.
