Kashmir

Never in my life have I been so aware of being a female. Never in my life have I resented this simple fact so much. It is truly a man's world, and anyone who tries to deny it is blind.

  1. My dear dear sister,

    I feel as if you are experiencing, in your own unique way, a little bit of my journey last year- the ups and downs of living and traveling in another country.

    I struggled so much in the Kekchi culture. Muy machismo! But try to silence your inner feminine spirit. Watch. Listen. Learn. Love. Respect. Reserve judgement.

  2. It's a new world to us, an old world to everyone else. Be strong, learn, hold your inner head high.

  3. Anne my experience is very different from yours.

    A lot of the situations that sparked this blog post were not situations in which to silence my spirit, observe, and respect.

    I can't even begin to describe the male harassment we've gotten everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

    From males of all ages.
