What was your first "feminist moment"?

[Zorra]

36. Thanks, yardwork.

It was/is sad.

We've spent a good part of lifetime trying to work through it, together and separately, as much as is possible.

Some things are just so wrong, and some damage can never be fully repaired. The important thing for us was/is to not let these things corrupt us with hate, and to take them as a lesson in exactly how not to be. Youngest sis naturally had a most monumental struggle with this. She's only begun to fully come to terms with it all over the past year.

What kind of insane society somehow teaches parents that a pregnant teenage girl is a pariah, causing them unbearable embarrassment and dishonor, and leads them to send their pregnant young teenage daughter someplace far away to some "home for unwed mothers" to have her baby just when she needs as much love and support as she can possibly get from her family?

These sad events during our teen years kind of left all the choice out of embracing practical Feminism for all three of us.

Some things are just so wrong, and some damage can never be repaired, but the future can be made better.
