wow - powerfully put: Column: Dear Patriarchy by Elizabeth Bear

Dear Patriarchy:

I don’t care what you think.

I’m not here to convert you. I’m not here to enlighten you. I’m not here to try to earn your respect. I don’t need it.

I am not scared of you.

I pray that both my daughters can stretch for a world without the oppression of patriarchy.
