I'm really sorry about what you has to deal with in your past. <3

I'm about 1/6th through the book now and feel the same way.

I mean, if i'm being perfectly honest, i feel like the term "patriarchy" is a little unfair but also I get why it would be chosen and a necessary concept to build from. I guess I feel like no one sex or gender built society on their own and the suggestion of attribution by nomenclature feels like a misleading simplification. This is not something that i'll lose sleep over, though, and i'm open to hearing out why i'm wrong.

Gonna get back to the book now. It really is a compassionate message. Thanks again.
