it seems like it's always your time. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how tired I'd be if I were an older lady, having fought and won this a few times now, just to have wave after wave of benighted cretins storming the barricades every few years. My heart goes out to all women. I have been preparing my two daughters with the information they'll need when they get old enough to join the fight, but it really pisses me off that they will enter adulthood wearing a target on their backs for religious patriarchal freaks.
