Fucking brilliant! It took me many years and a lot of hard work to embrace my feminine power and to not try to succeed or prevail by masculine metrics alone, which patriarchy tells us are the only valid ones. Strength comes in a lot of forms, that often having nothing to do with traditional displays of masculinity.

Ironically, patriarchy actually breeds weak men and too many of them are whiny, entitled, bullying, etc. Too often they don't know how to self-reflect, or apologize, or be collaborative. That's not strength. It's like dealing with a child in big-boy clothing. No thank you!

I'm grateful for all the men in my life who are not those things and for the places where my feminine power is honored and respected.
