Pleasantly abstruse.
I was chatting with a friend tonight, and she said something that blew me away. It was something that gave me a new insight into women. Something that I thought I understood but really didn't.
I never thought about this in terms of having to constantly be a diplomat and negotiate every day of your life, because it's not something men have to worry about. Since the world is set up for men, and women are not nearly as prone to sexual assault as men are, simply existing is easy for men. Especially white men. But for women, they have to cope with dangers and be on guard in ways that are totally alien to men.
Wow.
