“We wanted to be equals of men in every way, and we wanted to be ourselves, and we were not that those two journeys would take us to the same place.”

°menopause and aging are freedom, not a death sentence
°to want love romantically is not a sign of weakness and we should not view the women pining for love as fools (admittedly I hold this view but she’s already convincing me otherwise)
